Wash Your Fucking Hands

they/them | I am just a nerd, not the actual CDC

[centers-for-disease-control]

You know what, it’s time for a new pinned post!

Hello, I am CDC (they/them)! I am not the actual Center for Disease Control.

I am what you call a nerd. I know a good bit about diseases and I know how to do research, so you can send questions to me but I advise you take any serious concerns to a doctor or consult the CDC Website (assuming it falls under that domain).

I also do art and I am a firm believer in reblogging art. If y’all decide to twinkify me, I will reblog it.

Also, I am ace. I don’t really care about y’all’s shipping stuff, just please respect boundaries. Now, be safe y’all!

Please check out my art blog: @center-for-drawing-control!

I also use this blog to just talk outside of the blog persona. If you only want to see the CDC posts, block the tag “#off the clock”

I also do a bit of roleplaying because this is tumblr, and I may be cringe, but I am free.

Posts about current outbreaks and other important public health information will be tagged with “#serious” so I recommend everyone keep an eye on that tag

I am an adult with a job who is also in school, so the times at which I post are very unpredictable.

In this time where all forms of misogyny remain way too normalized, I want to give a quick shout out to women!

[centers-for-disease-control]

Second shout out to trans men and nonbinary folks who have to deal with misogyny as well

[centers-for-disease-control]

Another shout out to trans women and women of color, because even though they are both included in the initial shout out, they deserve special acknowledgment for the way they are targeted

Okay, the on fire thing is kinda predictable but what do you mean you’re turning into sulfur?! What kind of matches did you eat?!

Came into contact with Pin Worms, how fucked am I?

Pin worms suck but are highly treatable. Just make sure you wash hands thoroughly before eating, handling food, or touching your face. If you do end up with pin worms, take some anti pin worm medication and follow any instructions on when you need to take additional doses and make sure you wash all your bedding and clothing to prevent reinfection

[centers-for-disease-control]

I ate the Matches. Lit them up and Ate them like Cigarettes

I would say don’t but you already did so you get to deal with the consequences

What if I have the woke mind virus? What do I do about that? I really need help! - Bird H.

The best treatment for the woke mind virus is to lose any sense of care for your fellow people and surroundings

Hey, this may be a long shot, but I thought I’d try. Every time I eat certain things that are ARTIFICIALLY oranges flavored, like orange lifesavers or orange gummy bears, my tongue itches. This DOESN’T happen when I eat other artificially orange flavored things like orange soda or tictacs or when I eat actual oranges or drink orange juice, so it’s clearly not just oranges themselves. Do you have any idea what might be causing this reaction?

It might be an allergy to something used in those specific orange flavorings. Honestly, that’s very far outside my wheelhouse, so idk for sure

What should i do if the worms are telling me to drink more pond water?

Don’t listen

[centers-for-disease-control]

Anytime I answer asks on Tumblr, I feel like I’m working in childcare again,but I have no control over the children so thy are just setting fire to the building while all I can do is tell them to not do that

Please put the matches down before you give Mx. CDC a heart attack

My worm tells me to run from uncomfortable situations. I would like to be more outgoing and comfortable.

we've compromised on starting a new job.

How likely is this to end badly?

It’s likely to be good for both you and your worm. Exposure to new environments will help you learn to adapt to new situations more easily in the future.

I’m gonna eat a chocolate sculpture cast from a mold containing tin dispite my teacher informing us the molds are not food safe. Will update you if I don’t die 🫡

What if you didn’t do that. Mold poisoning is painful

[stealthetrees]

Oh no no no it’s a silicon mold of a sculpture, the silicon contains tin. I’m risking heavy metal poisoning. No living mold involved don’t worry.

[centers-for-disease-control]

Oh lmao, still probably not a great idea but that’s outside my expertise
