Hickey – The Love Bite

A hickey is essentially a bruise caused by aggressively kissing or sucking another person’s flesh. The aggressive kissing or sucking leads to the rupture of blood vessels, particularly the capillaries, which are located directly beneath the surface of the skin. This rupture of blood vessels causes blood to leak out into the surrounding tissue, which results in the visual external bruise or bruises that are physically recognizable after such activity. Today let us discuss some less known facts about hickeys

 

•          Hickeys are just bruises: They are nothing to be feared or contagious they are merely bruises.

•          People with Iron deficiency gets hickeys faster: Those with less iron in their diet has a higher chance of getting the bruise

•          There are no cures: A Hickey could last up to 2 weeks, slowly decreasing in its color and intensity. The use of ice in the beginning stage might help speed up this process

•          It can Scar: If biting is involved there is a chance that a hickey could scar you and this is irrespective of the color of your skin

•          Can cause a stroke: A  New Zealand woman suffered a stroke from a hickey. Apparently, her partner’s suck was so, strong that it actually created a blood clot in her neck which led to not just the stroke, but paralysis of her left arm. This is the only ever recorded such incident.
