Eli5 how does decompression illness kill you?
In: 509
Well simply when your body is under a ton of pressure your blood fizzles and creates bubbles, this is already bad as bubbles prevent the flow of blood in veins. Now what’ll really get you is that the tiny bubbles in your bloodstream once subjected to lesser pressure becomes ***big*** bubbles and that’s no bueno. Omce that happens the bubbles will travel to your brain restricting flow and causing parts of your body to die.
