Ok, so I read the Yahoo Answers code of conduct. I didn't realy see anything on this topic. Are we protested (free from any legal ramifications) when ansewering health topics. I have a great interest in the health feild so I love to answer the questions. I know there are many answers to questions (not just health topics) where people say things like .... jump off a cliff, or I have taken that drug...you can it will be fine....but, one of my only worries is that I may give wrong info. I am ususaly 99% sure of the answers I give and use websites to back that up, but I still worry.

Asking a question here is like asking a question of a total stranger in the grocery store. The asker is not protected by the grocer if the stranger's answer is wrong. The asker has the responsibility to seek out a credible answer from a licensed professional. Yahoo does not claim to be anything more than a public forum for anyone. That's not to say some moron wouldn't try to sue over an answer given to them on here one day, but it would likely be thrown out of court.

Keep worrying- the answers here are
''health care by committee'', with no guarantee
that anyone has a medical background.
This is true of any category or topic.
