OKAY just. a question.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-08 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
say someone sticks a wand up someone else's nose, Harry Potter-style, and says a spell that releases a high-pressure stream of water from the tip of said wand, sort of like if you turn your hose up to the highest it can go.

would the victim's head swell and burst? what else might happen?

I'm sorry I'm gross.

I'm the medical Q&A anon. At close range and full power, fire hoses can break bones and strip flesh. Your wand shouldn't cause the head to swell but if the pressure is high enough, I suppose it could conceivably just tear straight through in whatever direction it were going, and if it couldn't make it through the main bones of the skull, it could certainly rip through the nearest eye.

If it isn't /that/ strong, the water should take the path of least resistance, which in this case would be through the nasal cavity, into the pharynx, and from there out the mouth and down the esophagus/trachea (not to mention out the other nostril) - likely damaging tissue all the way from the pressure. This almost certainly would be as fatal as your burst head, resulting in drowning, and if the drowning were somehow survived, then water intoxication (assuming they "ingest" six or more liters).

...yo, people with medical knowledge.

I think this is more of a drowning scenario?
