Yes.

I was surprised myself to be quite honest. I never ever fainted before, but I did today. In front of 30 people. :rolleyes:

Anyways, we were disecting pig fetus' and the smell was bad. I could'nt look at the little porker yesterday, but I decided to go in full force today. Well, I did do it, but right about the time I began to scalpal the neck and throat, I felt dizzy and fainted.

I thought it was because of the smell, but I noticed that out of a class of 17 girls and 10 boys, I was the only guy that fainted. Not even the girl beside me who was making mince meat out of the little piglet fainted because of the smell.

My mother, who is right a lot of the time surprisingly, said it was because of my "diet". I told her she was crazy, but it might've been true. I mean, I work out every single friggin day, eat what I assume and think is healthy diet, and I am the one to faint. :rolleyes:

So, could a bad diet be sort of....causing me mental weakness or lowering my other bodily functions?
 
it was prob the stress of it. some ppl can't take it so you pass out due to the stress..some ppl faint at needles etc.. its no big..
 
You may just be that type of person, my dad accidently pricked his finger on a stick a couple years back and my sister passed out. I've never heard of passing out from a smell though. Did you gag or anything before hand? (ever gutted a deer...that's some stinky sh!t there man)
 
No, I mean I didn't pass out because of the sight of it's bowels and what not.

It was most likely the smell. Keeping in mind, there where about 8 pig fetus' being cut open in the room simultaneously, and I was in sort close.

Uh...
 
lol a little sensitive i guess.. never bothered me but i have an iron stomach. its not a big deal...unless you have signs and symptoms of other things..
 
Nah, I'm not like that.

I never gotten sick before, or have allergies. Which is why my mother is dragging me to the doctor to get needles stuck into my darned veins to see if I'm "healthy" or not. She still thinks its because of what I eat.
 
well if there is no other indication that something is wrong i still would not worry. if your not tied , pale and so on(i'm not going to list all the things we look at) then i would chalk it up to one of those things..
 
Oh, but I turned as pale as a ghost.

I stopped by the washroom on my way back to class and used the faters of the private toilet stalls as a chin up bar and did about 30 or so to get some blood back in my head.
 
dont feel too bad.in science class when we were disecting frogs i flicked frog parts at my friend and he passed out.some people have strong senses...i can hear those dog buzzer things that people use when it barks too much
 
turning pale on its own is no indication of anything really. you would have to tell me everything that happened- how you felt prior and a whole bunch of things - pale alone is nothing- pale cool and clammy says somethings is up though it could just be momentary thing. syncope is no big deal it is the things surrounding syncope that matter.
 
Sorry to hear about this. My advice-skip the zoology class if you go to college, we had to disect all sorts of stuff. Oh and you would've loved my cadaver disection lab.
 
I don't think it was from your diet, no.

Most likely it was just from the smell and the whole situation you were in at the time.
 
hey CrowTR deer don't stink, try a turkey them thing stink before you even cut him!!! nasty thing, i would say pig smell better then a turkey!


But i never been the one to faint, but a buddy of mine fainted cause he was dehydrated, flat out passed out. he was jogging and the next thing you see him just lean forward and gone!!!

so are you drink enough water?? just an idea.
 
Nobody, I hate to break it to you, but somebody has to. The chances of your fainting due to an improper diet by coincidence in that particular circumstance..slim. It's much more likely that you're a pan---err, sensitive. :p Just playing, but at least you're not malnourished, right? Heh heh.

Stick to it. My lab partner started off fainting at just about everything. It probably didn't help that I was the psychopath in the lab who felt the need to dissect everything in detail and play with it to see how it works, put on puppet shows, threaten to eat it...Anyway the point is he got over it after a couple weeks.
 
LMAO aliquisdeus, your too funny... but that is what i was trying to get across just in a nicer way. everyone has their thing that gets 'em (although i haven't found mine yet) but some ppl are more sensitive to some things ie.. needles or little pickled piggies.
 
I guess you're right. Thank's guys.
