@@felixthecat3n2The point of the video is that small, harmless things like shrimp are treated like the end of the world by our bodies. The joke is that the president is going to blow up the country because of one spider.
Amazing how you guys depict the battles of the immune system with the drama, action, and intensity they are from the perspective of the cells. Felt like I was watching an action movie!
My partner was allergic to corn for years, and then one day after accidently drinking a milkshake with maize starch in it we noticed no allergic reaction. It had just gone. We put it down to lower over all stress levels as well as living in the countryside with better air quality than in the town we had previously lived in.
It's weird that it is equally likely of being better air quality, as being LESS clean since it's in the countryside. That's what makes studying this stuff difficult. Stress is usually just bad, so that's a thing.
There's a point around the age of 30 when your allergies can flip. Existing ones can disappear, new ones can appear, and mild ones can suddenly become severe. I lost a few allergies like that, but gained a few around the same time. One of which is lethal.
@adiamondtrash9344 the last 10% of the quality of animation takes the most time for a very small amount of people who notice and/or care. its generally not worth it.
Really captivating storytelling! It’s impressive how your team is able to turn a biology class into a thrilling 10-minute movie. Besides that, I got a really bad allergic reaction to allegedly shrimp twice two weeks ago I didn’t noticed, I only felt quite unwell, hot and got tiered. I only noticed how close it was after I told my doctor the symptoms, so I guess that adds to me being so captivated be the video.

When I was 8, I got three wasp stings at once. The sting swelled up, but it went away a few days after icing it and taking Tylenol for kids. I didn't have to go get it checked. This summer at 26 I got a sting from a honey bee while removing some weeds in my garden making a rash appear, so I had to go to an urgent care unit. Luckily it didn't affect my breathing, but I had to get prescribed topical medication and it took two weeks to completely clear up, it was extremely discomforting as no over-the-counter painkiller helped. I wish I asked the GP at the hospital for a prescription for Tylenol 2 or something cause it was not pleasant to deal with. It's crazy how the immune system can change how it reacts to certain things over time. Also learned a hard lesson to use long sleeves in the garden, I was using gloves but the honey bee got me in the forearm.
I'm very happy this video makes something clear; the hygiene hypothesis can be true without us being 'too clean', that's a piece of nuance that's sometimes hard to get across. Allergies are the one step back for the two steps forward we made with hygiene and now we just need to work out another way to address them.
It's also a bit more precise both about what aspects of hygiene might be contributors, and about using terms like "might" for the speculative parts, because it's still very much speculation that hygiene is in any way contributory to allergy (particularly when you broaden it out and consider all forms of allergy instead of just type 1 allergies like the ones described here)
@@apokkalyps6 Fixing things rather than waiting for evolution is kind of the point of medicine. Plus for evolution to work there needs to be a selective pressure ... that is countless people dying from allergies, that is not remotely desirable.
Kurzgesagt has been uploading so much recently. All the respect to you guys! I'm shocked everytime I see another Kurzgesagt notification. You guys are doing work.
@ehnehm true some spiders are terrifying but some are also adorable. Like the peacock spider. Im sure many insects or even some animals have a scarier other. Also as scary as some can be. Spiders are pretty darn cool. Without them, we'd face famine because the bug population would get out of control and ruin all our crops ❤
As a person who has the most common, yet most annoying allergy, dust-mite allergy very severely (I got 2 surgeries, and monthly injections, just to be able to breath and I am 16yrs old), I loved the vid, incorporated alot
@@spinekingjrgensen5779 thx m8, it aint that serious, just annoying - thank god I dont go into more serious reactions, and welp, insurance covers 100% so im happy,
@@spinekingjrgensen5779 but dr did say its higly unlikely, the allergy affects my nasal polyps, and he said those usually go by 15, and im turning 17, so yeah
What have I learnt from this video and overall what I gained: 1. First of all pure pleasure for those animations that's so beatiful and energizing to watch such animation with furthermore with such a soothing voice. 2. I learnt about allergies and revised a little bit about dendtrictic cell masst cell and others and how their main goal had dissapeared which probably leads to allergies. Main word probably I loved how they shown why. Thank you very much. I'm grateful.
Wasn't allergic to dust/pollen but I am now allergic. Once I start sneezing randomly, I keep sneezing (with runny nose) throughout the day unless take an antihistamine. I hope I never become allergic to shrimps or something similar though, it could be deadly.
Not every allergy is anaphylactic. My allergy to tree nuts just causes me to get a rash in my throat and vomit. It’s not fun for sure but it has happened many times and never been life threatening.
I had a friend in college that was allergic to shellfish... Every year, she would order a huge clambake and eat it as fast as possible in the parking lot of the hospital before running in to the Emergency Room.
@@Doomquillliving a life without shellfish is one I don’t want. If you can’t eat shellfish or garlic or onion or whatever deliciousness people are allergic to what’s even the point of living?
I grew up in India in the 90s. I had never heard of anyone being allergic to ANY Food items before coming across the concept on some American TV show/ movie (don't remember exactly) sometime after 2010. Dust allergies were, and are a huge problem however to this day for a lot of people.
I have a couple allergies that went away suddenly and with no explanation. Pollen is one. One summer I'd sneeze all day long and the next summer, nothing. I also got a severe allergic reaction to a poppy derived medication when I was a kid. I had surgery recently and the medication had no adverse effect this time around. Nice.
I love the music! Not sure if this is something new, but I've started noticing the great background music in the last couple videos... And I'm loving it!

Yes, allergies can have a genetic component. If one or both parents have allergies, their children are more likely to develop allergies as well. This tendency to develop allergies is called atopy, and it is linked to the genes that regulate the immune system. Key Points: Family History: If one parent has allergies, a child has about a 30-50% chance of developing allergies. If both parents have allergies, the likelihood increases to 60-80%. Specific Allergies Are Not Always Inherited: While the predisposition to develop allergies is genetic, the specific allergens (e.g., pollen, peanuts, pet dander) a person reacts to are not always inherited directly. Environment Plays a Role: Even with a genetic predisposition, environmental factors like exposure to allergens, pollution, diet, and infections can influence whether or not allergies develop. Epigenetics: Factors like prenatal exposure to allergens or maternal smoking can influence the expression of allergy-related genes, potentially increasing the risk. If allergies are a concern, consulting an allergist can help identify triggers and develop a management plan.
that's a nice timing, i'm doing he exams to verify all my allergies as i develop to most of the non corticosteroid anti-inflamatory medicines, had 12 anaphylactic shock during my life, always being surprised because it was medicine, the last one a few weeks back, it's nice too know more about the thing that tried to kill me the most
I don't know what's scarier, a shrimp allergy, a gravitational vacuum star, or multipolar armed conflicts. I think a dodgy shrimp is probably the most dangerous thing to a lot of us.
Oh I wondered where this video was going to when I saw the title and was so happy when it talked about the worms thing. I haven't heard that since I was at university!
Finally a Kurzgesagt video on Allergies!! Tbh as a person with a lot of allergies, I don't see it much as a problem since I'm used to them by now, but allergies can be a funny thing. No one in my family or in their history has had any allergies, or known ones to say the least. I'm allergic to Seafoods, Nuts (except Hazlenut), Kiwifruit and Pets like Cats and Dogs heh. Oh hey also, Kurzgesagt, I've got a cool request :P Can you guys please do a video on Eczema and some other skin conditions and diseases? I think there should be more awareness on these sort of skin conditions, and I bet this would also go great with your other recent videos heheh. I doubt you guys will see this, with the millions of views y'all get, but if any of you do, I hope you have an absolutely fantastic life!! And keep doin what you lovee!! Oh and remember to hydrate hydrate hydrate!! Love from NZ 💜💙💚 :3
Awesome to see this video as an allergy scientist! First time I've known pretty much everything in one of these, but y'all still made it exciting and cinematic anyway
As someone working in science, specifically in the field of the immune system and related topics, the writing of this video is gold. Not only is it concise, omitting unneeded details and breaking complex topics down to make this whole process digestable... The analogies are amazing. I had some good chuckles, like at the "angry hedgehog grenades without safety pins". Please do continue your very important educational work here! Kudos!
thanks for putting some light on a topic most don't know a lot about, i've had a peanut allergy all my life and have had to experience people not taking it seriously, trying to feed me peanuts to see what would happen ect... Thankyou Kurzgesagt!!!
I have MCAS - Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. It is a condition that makes my body react as if I am allergic to random things that have histamines when I am not actively allergic to them. Up to and including anaphylaxis. I used my epi pen 5 times last year, all related to food that had previously been safe. Not quite the same, but still super interesting learning more about the process in this video.
Phenomenal video. One thing I will say that may be a generalization was the blood pressure drop. When I had my second severe reaction in my lifetime my bp was 180/160 with a heart rate of almost 200, this was most definitely caused by my immense straining and adrenaline but just goes to show that allergies even severe don’t affect everyone equally or with all the same effects.

Watching while eating prawns for first time 🍤
Will update if I'm alive ✌️
Are you still alive

They've either moved on and forgot to update or are in the midst of a life-threatening reaction. Godspeed sir 🫡.

9:13 that's a... _unique_ line.
you telling me a prawn fried this rice
great to see this after i just had shrimp as someone with an OAS
0:36 well that escalated quickly
that's a nice timing, i'm doing he exams to verify all my allergies as i develop to most of the non corticosteroid anti-inflamatory medicines, had 12 anaphylactic shock during my life, always being surprised because it was medicine, the last one a few weeks back, it's nice too know more about the thing that tried to kill me the most
''from the perspective of a cell worms are city kaiju's'' looks like someones been watching Kaiju No. 8 XD
Thanks for the info!
Only kurzgesagt goes from deadly wars to a prawn that could kill you ❤

@@Shirilern??? Why are you repeating "me" like a bloody fool?
I don't know what's scarier, a shrimp allergy, a gravitational vacuum star, or multipolar armed conflicts.
I think a dodgy shrimp is probably the most dangerous thing to a lot of us.
I swear this is one of the best Animated battle scenes I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot of them.
"You're telling me a shrimp fried this rice?"
-The Immune System, probably
Amazing Animation, Music, Story, Research and Narration. Thanks Kurzgesagt! Loved it! It was like a mystery question unraveled.
9:54 Mario!?
Luigi is out on business in NY
The production quality on these videos keeps getting better over the years. Great video!
5:43 Hey, that's the name of the channel!
It means short told and kurzgesagt translates to the same
Oh I wondered where this video was going to when I saw the title and was so happy when it talked about the worms thing. I haven't heard that since I was at university!
7:45 the soundtrack has no reason to go this hard?
I found this Channel when I was 7. One video, ONE! Literally caused me to love and learn science, it pretty much decided half my life XD
The fact that my immune system can kill me faster than most diseases somehow makes me very proud
Why be proud of a genetic weakness?
I remember that this theory was also written in the book Immune!
"How This Delicious Prawn Can Kill You"
So, a disgusting prawn is the limit...
A great video as always. Please keep the videos coming!
Finally a Kurzgesagt video on Allergies!! Tbh as a person with a lot of allergies, I don't see it much as a problem since I'm used to them by now, but allergies can be a funny thing. No one in my family or in their history has had any allergies, or known ones to say the least. I'm allergic to Seafoods, Nuts (except Hazlenut), Kiwifruit and Pets like Cats and Dogs heh.
Oh hey also, Kurzgesagt, I've got a cool request :P
Can you guys please do a video on Eczema and some other skin conditions and diseases? I think there should be more awareness on these sort of skin conditions, and I bet this would also go great with your other recent videos heheh.
I doubt you guys will see this, with the millions of views y'all get, but if any of you do, I hope you have an absolutely fantastic life!! And keep doin what you lovee!! Oh and remember to hydrate hydrate hydrate!! Love from NZ 💜💙💚 :3
Awesome to see this video as an allergy scientist! First time I've known pretty much everything in one of these, but y'all still made it exciting and cinematic anyway
Wow kurzgesagt pumping videos fast, we eatin good.
As someone working in science, specifically in the field of the immune system and related topics, the writing of this video is gold.
Not only is it concise, omitting unneeded details and breaking complex topics down to make this whole process digestable... The analogies are amazing. I had some good chuckles, like at the "angry hedgehog grenades without safety pins".
Please do continue your very important educational work here! Kudos!
thanks for putting some light on a topic most don't know a lot about, i've had a peanut allergy all my life and have had to experience people not taking it seriously, trying to feed me peanuts to see what would happen ect... Thankyou Kurzgesagt!!!
I have MCAS - Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. It is a condition that makes my body react as if I am allergic to random things that have histamines when I am not actively allergic to them. Up to and including anaphylaxis. I used my epi pen 5 times last year, all related to food that had previously been safe.
Not quite the same, but still super interesting learning more about the process in this video.
Does lying in a bath full of prawns make your skin prawny?
Brilliant video! Love the cinematography!
It feels good to have no allergies.
Hello kurzgesagt. I have watched all of your videos and I really enjoy them. Keep up the good work!
I found this channel a while ago. Not long after did I learn my science teacher is also a fan.
Phenomenal video. One thing I will say that may be a generalization was the blood pressure drop. When I had my second severe reaction in my lifetime my bp was 180/160 with a heart rate of almost 200, this was most definitely caused by my immense straining and adrenaline but just goes to show that allergies even severe don’t affect everyone equally or with all the same effects.
This video popped up on my feed when I was eating a prawn cocktail 😭
nah bro
the algorithm got you in a grip and maybe a webcam
that's a sign right there
@@thegamerggx1151 im so done
You mean a Shrimp cocktail ?
My brothers, as a med student in my final year, i wish to thank you because i've never seen a more badass way to explain imunology
"We don't won't to get worms back"
Rfk: sweats nervously
7:38 that... THAT whole part was terrifying.
Especially combined with the music.
What about pollens? I once almost suffocated because i was near a single wheat
Same process, typically constrained to the runny nose and sometimes breathing issues
It is pretty much the same, i think.
OOF the words-"order","sirens" etc giving me goosebumbs love u guys vids😍
OMG you gugs read my mind! I was literally thinking about when you guys are gonna release a video on allergies and how fun it would be!
Wow I’m loving the frequent videos and I love your work, and I love you all ❤
That's so cute you guys scheduled 2 videos within 2 days in case one was a flop so the other can swoop the previous one under the rug
Good job
Love your work since 2017❤always learn new things
Finally, a video that is *actually* not on a sensitive topic! The last video may need some addressing to do...my God were those comment section at!
Unless you have health anxiety.
But that's why we teach people how to deal with anaphylaxis.
The ‘hook’ for me was Kaiju. Btw we coevolved with hook worms for a very long time, much earlier than what was shown.
Me: On my way to Panda Express for the Honey Walnut Shrimp 😭
The best explanation on allergies I've ever had. :D
Happy holidays XD
how to do 100 to 1000 a day!↙️↙️↙️
How?
↖️Full step-by-step video is here!!
Does this really work? If it works it will help a lot of people
I saw people talking about this method there and I never tried it... I'm going to try it now I liked it
Since when has it been working? It looks really good😮
