I’ve been worrying about this lately. I seriously think that I am in a high risk category for this. It runs in my family. I’m actually petrified. I had three uncles and one niece and a great-aunt who were in their houses watching TV and “poof”! They all went up in a puff of flames and all that was left was a little pile of ashes.
I take normal precautions but I’m still worried. Does anyone know of any support groups for this? Is going up in a ball of flames preventable?
I’d hate to have to be on even more meds for this, I take enough of them already.
First off, the best thing you can do for yourself is to avoid dehydration. For men, 18 glasses of water a day are recommended for adequate hydration.
Try not to fall asleep while smoking, or in front of a fireplace. Wear shoes and clothing designed to minimize electric shocks, and consider having your home flooring replaced with a similar material.
Lastly, if you are a vampire, avoid direct exposure to the sunlight.
If you follow these suggestions, you should be safe from spontaneous immolation.
