If I tried to explain how fantastical it can be, I am not sure that you would believe me!

But unfortunately, ignoring it would probably not make you safe... We know only one way to make pulses stop, which is getting outside Locke City. When one does, they also forget everything related to pulses, which probably includes the reason that they left the city. If you can experience them, it is most likely safer to remember that this is here, ma'am... It is most likely better to be able to go to people for help in case you have an obvious pulse.
