the Relationship Between Extract and Release

While exploring the relationship between words I asked, innocently, about the connection between release and extract. My question, stimulated by a Roget's thesaurus citation, brought forth a bevy of responses—on line. I ignored most of the sites‚ blithely skipping over those that concerned themselves with meat swelling and water-holding capacity. Since I am I partial vegetarian —no meat, but chicken and fish are acceptable—I no longer am concerned about meat swelling. Actually I don't believe I ever investigated that topic.

I started to read the information on a site concerning dental issues. Teeth extraction—to extract or not to extract. Extracting releases blood—you may bleed a copious amount. One site even indicated that death by bleeding is a risk. I didn't stay on the site long enough to determine where the information originated.

That immediately set-up a panic reaction. Not that I am planning on having an extraction. Perhaps it's best not to look up relationships between words because these odd bedfellows rear up and spread anxiety.

I did , however, type in "how many people bled to death after a tooth extraction?"
After reading one article in a suspect newspaper and one article in a less suspect journal...

I did what any sensible person might do—I began to read about " the various relationships between the extract-release volume and the protein and fat contents of fresh beef...." and so on.

Relationships are tricky.Rogets Thesaurus may lead one down perilous, exposed,and vulnerable paths.
