And, oh, how I wish they did. Maybe with a big ol’ piece of senselessnesscidal latex wrapped around my brain I wouldn’t be dangerously exposed to half the nonsense I’m exposed to on a daily basis.
Overlook me. I’m in a mood, and I’ve just watched House, so, yeah, totally unnecessary sarcasm abounds.
So, anyway, to the point. I’ve just watched House and I learned a new word: neurosyphilis.
Now, I’m not completely ignorant. I know what neuro means, and I know what syphilis is. And, I even know that when left untreated, syphilis can wreak havoc on your brain.
I’d just never, for whatever reason, heard the term neurosyphilis before tonight.
Anyway, like I pointed out in the title, they don’t make condoms for our brains. This unfortunate lack of brain condoms clearly means two things:
- You need to wear a condom. If not out of fear of unwanted pregnancy and disease, then at least out of fear of mental meltdown later on down the road.
- I’m going to have to think of new ways to safeguard my brain against nonsense.
To learn more about neurosyphilis and the four types of neurosyphilis, I recommend Medline Plus’s pretty thorough entry on the matters.
Show the world you’re not full of nonsense by entering the Mental Health Notes This Is Why I ROCK! series.
