True indeed.
Comment on What would be the consequences of a smallsword wound to the belly?
GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI think the cleanliness of the blade would be less relevant than the massive infection pouring from your pierced guts into the wound.

Septic shock be a harsh mistress.

Talk that talk, and walk that walk, but never mess with septic shock.

yeah, almost nothing on the blade would matter compare to the filth already inside your intestines. just a speck of that leaking into your body cavity will cause sepsis, and would be fatal without elephantine doses of antibiotics. stabbed with a sword? you’ll be in the hospital for a while. oh, and that’s not even including the massive tissue damage and blood loss.
plus, you’ll be luck to be leaving with your entire intestine intact (you’ll likely be osing a few feet of it) and not pooping into a colostomy bag for the rest of your life.
