Hole in the Heart Prevent Piercing?!
Question:
Hole in the Heart Prevent Piercing?
Hey,
I've recently been informed that i cannot get a Piercing or a Tattoo by my Doctor as i have a 'Hole in the Heart'
And can honestly say i don't know much about it, except for the fact that if i got a Tatt or a Piercing it'd be dangerous as my body would not be able to fight infection, and could cause a possible fatal result....However being a stupid prat like i am i want a Piercing :D
And obviously i wouldn't get one if it meant 100% fatality, However i would like to know the Following on the subject:
''Is there ANYTHING i can do that would drastically lower or even prevent the chance of it being fatal towards me?''
Thanks for reading ya'll :D

...And apparently there isn't, and you really didn't help with the question, so f*** you :)
Answers:
The chance that you could develop bacterial endocarditis is extremely high. From there, you could have severe damage to your heart valves - Then, if you're lucky you'll be on IV antibiotics (in the hospital) for about 6 weeks, and if you're really lucky, you can plan for a heart transplant -
I can't guarantee the transplant part, but the Endocarditis is pretty likely, and the IV treatment is common.
It's not worth it.
