Mercutio is known for his jocular manner. He's always cracking jokes; life is never too serious. His puns are rarely taken seriously. When Romeo is pouring his heart out over his romantic woes, Mercutio is babbling about Queen Mab. So when he begins with the "worm's meat" puns, his friends think little of it. In fact, they ask how he's doing, and he responds that the injury is "a scratch" and "not as deep as a well." His answers are enigmatic at best, and his buddies are used to a jokester, so no one takes him seriously till it is too late.

because they are not doctors and Mercutio's injuries were internal
