Can Choking cause brain damage
 
well? (fff)

If you do it properly and hold it long past tap or knock out it will cause brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

I don't think it would do that much damage to the brain if you deprive the brain of oxygen it wouldn't matter as much as the brain does not need as much as the rest of the body. Although might cause a embolism

Wouldn't your body just knock you unconscious before it did harm?

Enfernikus 06-09-2008 04:29 PM

You still need oxygen whilst unconscious.

Well yeah, but if you are choking yourself, wouldn't you pass out before you could really keep choking yourself? That is, unless you hung yourself or something.

Yes. You do not feed your brain oxygen while choking. While given no oxygen, brain cells die (it takes more than a minute though). Unlike skin cells, brain cells do not grow back. Be it on water, candy or someones hand, brain damage can occur after long enough.
