I'm really concerned because I heard in the news that having the BCG vaccine might lower the risk of getting the coronavirus. My brother is 28 and he never got any vaccines, including the BCG one, since he was born. Should I be worried about his health? Can you give me some advice on what we should do?

I recently had a massage, and during it, I ended up sucking on the masseuse's nipple. There wasn't any milk or anything, but I'm worried. Is there any health risk involved with doing that?

It's important to maintain boundaries and respect during any physical interaction, including massages. While nipple sucking itself doesn't typically pose health risks, it can be uncomfortable for the other person and may lead to misunderstandings. It's essential to ensure all actions are consensual and appropriate for both parties. If you have concerns, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider.
