When I was very young I used to believe that if you got anything small and sharp stuck in you (eg a needle)it would get inside you, travel through your bloodstream straight to your heart and kill you. Why did I believe this? Because my mother told me. Someone had told her the same thing many years previously and she still believed it at the age of 35
