[Disliked trope] Hollywood myths portrayed as being correct, even in a time when the characters should know better.
NOT this trope: Historical pieces set in times in which people actually didn't know better. Ie, something set in the 18th century referencing Miasma theory (as it wasn't yet debunked), a cowboy drama set in the 19th century when people still thought you should suck venom out of a snakebite. Examples OF this trope: Friends \[The one with the Jellyfish\] Someone gets a jellyfish sting and they treat it by peeing on it. DO **NOT** ***DO*** THIS!!!! This was set in the 90s.
