Read this before you try anything electrical, medical, or hot.

Nothing on this site is professional advice. A proof score measures how many anonymous people say a fix worked for them — it is not a substitute for a doctor, an electrician, or a mechanic. A high confirmation rate means a fix is popular and reproducible, not that it is safe for your specific situation.

Every fix that can plausibly hurt someone carries a warning, at any score. Warnings come from the submission itself or from a safety flag raised after publication, and they are shown regardless of how well a fix has tested — a 95%-confirmed fix with a warning still shows the warning first. If a fix involves electricity, heat, sharp tools, medication, or anything ingested or inhaled, read the warning field before the rest of the page.

Home remedies are not medical advice. Several entries on this site are traditional home remedies. Where a remedy carries a known risk — like honey and infant botulism — we say so explicitly. Where the evidence is thin, the fix stays at Unverified rather than climbing the ladder on popularity alone. If you are pregnant, treating a child, or managing an existing condition, talk to an actual clinician before trying a health-related fix from this site.

See something dangerous? Flag it from the fix's own page. Safety flags are reviewed ahead of the normal moderation queue and can pull a fix regardless of its current score.
