9 things you shouldn't Google, says Reddit
If you turn to Google for all your queries, you should wait and listen to what Reddit has to say!
According to Reddit, you should search these queries on Google as some of them would not even give you the answer you expect.
Here's the list:
1. Fournier
Orlando Magic NBA player Evan Fournier's nickname is "Never Google" and there's a reason.
His last name, which is an old French word for "Boulanger" (or "Breadmaker"), is also the name of a type of gangrene that affects the genitalia.
You've been warned.
2. Krokodil
The street name for Desomorphine, a morphine derivative with powerful opioid effects, which has been used as a substitute for Heroin in Russia and Ukraine.
The side effects of the often-illegally produced drugs include toxic substances which can "cook" the skin, or cause large scale tissue infection or damage in the injected area. It's become known as a flesh-eating drug.

It's hardened plaque across the teeth - a big old chunk of it. Generally it has to be chipped away by a dentist. It's not that pretty.
7. Your e-mail address
It can be illuminating to see what you're linked to online, and sometimes terrifying.
Reddit users reported sold accounts, spam, password leaks, the lot - in fact, it's probably safest to search to double check, even if you don't like what you find.
A recommended tool to find if you've been compromised in a data breach is haveibeenpwned.com, which may let you know.
8. Harlequin ichthyosis
It's a severe genetic disease in which, at birth, a child's skin is encased in thick white plates of skin, separated by deep cracks.
This has many complications - because there are cracks in the skin the newborns are more susceptible to infection and constant care is required to protect and moisturise the skin.
The disease used to be considered fatal, but in 2011 theArchives of Dermatology concluded:

If you think you are seriously ill, you should go see a doctor.
