When you take out earrings before the tunnels are fully healed, you run the risk of tearing them open, but even without damaging the tunnels, the skin will be tender and very delicate, this can cause pain taking the earrings in and out.

In a harsh environment â it's snowing, say â you have 3 hours to survive without shelter. After 3 days, you need water or you'll perish. You can make it 3 weeks without food, though we promise you that won't be fun. Despite this possibly helpful rule, some people have survived 8 to 10 days without water.
