The sequelae of being strangled

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Our society must be peaceful and stable, but it is impossible for a society to be completely free of crime and lawlessness, just as human nature cannot be perfect. When we understand the ugliness of human nature, we will cherish the beauty and true feelings of the world even more. Similarly, only after experiencing the pain of war can we know how precious and hard-won today's peace and stability are. But accidents are inevitable. What we can do is to minimize hidden dangers and take precautions.

③Neck trauma;

④The neck is exposed to wind and cold;
