YOU COULD GET A STROKE AND POSSIBLY DIE FROM GETTING LOVE BITES ON YOUR NECK
If you’re reading this, the statistical numbers show that it’s unlikely that you are still young enough to either give or receive hickeys. And I must admit that I’m old enough that I had to confirm how to even spell the word, hickey. But if you’re older than I am, you may need a refresher; a hickey is that hideous mark on (usually) a teen’s neck from some awful combination of sucking and biting. Now that we’ve cleared that little reminder up, it’s now relevant for you to know that a love bite on your neck has a very slight chance of causing a stroke.

LOVE BITES, HICKEYS ARE PROBABLY STILL SAFE, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO BE A STROKE STATISTIC
And no, this isn’t a joke. Someone biting your neck before or during coitus could, alas, come back to bite you hours later in the form of possibly maybe suffering a stroke. Even if you’re still young, if only in your own mind. At worst, love bites could very well be the end of you and kill you. Strokes are unpredictable, and we only tend to know how bad one is if we survive it and find out how long it takes to recover from one. This news comes from the publication Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland.

IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GIVE LOVE BITES, POSSIBLY CONSIDER SAFER EROGENOUS BODY TARGETS
Technically, a stroke is what happens “when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted.” That means less oxygen and nutrients to your brain cells, possibly damaging or even killing them. And that can translate very differently, depending on which part of your brain it happens in. In 2014, a woman only 35 years old had a stroke 12 hours after getting a love bite on the left side of her neck. That’s where the research into love bites causing strokes began. So what is a love bites lover to do? First off, don’t panic. The chances of this happening are very slim. But you might want to be sure to avoid biting or hickeying anywhere near the carotid artery.
Perhaps, it’s safer to suck and bite virtually anywhere else on your partner’s body. I’ll leave that up to you. Or down, as it were.
