You're overreacting. "Triangle of death" is a pretty much meaningless and outdated phrase, rarely used these days. It's a good idea to not squeeze pimples on the face, but probably there is less than one chance in millions of a dangerous outcome if you do. (Most people ignore this advice at least some of the time and almost none ever get a serious problem. Don't lose sleep over this!)
