Interesting that there was confirmation that infants can feel pain, but whether or not they are able to remember it was left moot in the second point. Much of anesthesia is just preventing the formation of memories of the pain experienced at any age, particularly true with twilight anesthesia.
Thanks for pointing out that strokes can happen to literally anyone. I had my first TIA (mini-stroke) at 21 out of nowhere, and was initially misdiagnosed. Later, I was correctly diagnosed- with a brain tumor. Luckily, I've since had it surgically removed and have made an almost- full recovery.
I'm very happy to hear you're doing well. If you don't mind a total stranger asking personal questions, do you know about which region of the brain it was removed from? And how has that affected you now? You said almost full recovery, I hope it's nothing that impacts your quality of life too much. Apologies for the impertinence, I'm studying psychology and was just last week studying up on this. The interplay between regions is an amazing trait.
There are probably fewer insect parts inside a fig than in the flour bread is baked from. And these wasps, when alive, are smaller than aphids. Cultivated figs are self fertile, so do not need wasps. And all flowering structures are called inflorescences, the fruit of the fig is called a synconium.

The marsupial is called anti-kine-us. There one of the first animals in Australia to learn how to eat the introduced cane toad. They tip them over and rip up the bellies, avoiding the poison ducts. They're also the size of a mouse. Basically a very tiny bloodthirsty roo and super cute to boot.
Yeah, never heard antechinus pronounced so wrong before. My mother was gonna kill her partner's cat for bringing antechinus home to eat. It was only doing it in spring and they were all male so we spared the cat who was just picking up male antechinus after they died from too many hormones. I had a plague of antechinus one year followed by a snake plague who turned up to eat them.
Another fun fact about constipation: My mum is a nurse and I have asked what some of the grossest things she's encountered were, and here's one of her favorites. A young man was in a motorcycle accident and couldn't/wouldn't poop because of the pain. He got so badly blocked up that he began vomiting poop which can be extremely dangerous, so Mum had to glove up and get her hand up there to literally pull the poo out of him. On the day she first told me this, I realised I could never, ever be a nurse. Same when she described the smell of necrosis.
I had a friend who had some obsession with eating more fiber, and he really overdid it with wheat bran cereal - he was eating a whole box every day. Sadly it had the opposite effect from what he desired, and he got super constipated. After a week of no poops, he went to the ER and indeed, they had to go in manually to pull it out and get him unblocked. Thankfully he didn't report vomiting of any kind, but I don't doubt that if poop can't go out in the normal direction, vomiting it might be the body's last attempt to avoid an internal rupture.
That isn't the way the digestive system works. Smooth muscles, villi, gravity, and multiple sphincters all ensure that stuff goes down, not up. Vomiting and reflux are obvious exceptions to this... but there no way that fecal matter can travel can move from the large intestine and exit via the mouth.
About smelling toast ... people don't realize how far cooking smells can travel. I live out in the countryside and was puzzled why I could often smell bacon and other foods cooking during the hours before dawn. It turned out that when a breeze was blowing in the right direction, the smells of breakfast foods being cooked by an early rising neighbor a quarter of a mile down the road were detectable to me. Only a few molecules are necessary.
It's actually something that got twisted through "telephone game" I think. It's a reference to seizures, not strokes :) Some people smell things before they are about to have a seizure. When I grew up, we referenced seizures, but apparently Kids These Days(tm) have heard it differently :)

As someone that suffers from a version of temporary 'Locked in Syndrome" (ie Periodic Paralysis) it was in fact horrifying the first few times. Now after over 25 years of attacks, it's just damn annoying. My heart does go out to those are locked in, I wouldn't wish it on my own worst enemy.
Birds don’t vomit into their chicks’ mouths; they regurgitate from the crop, where the food becomes a sort of porridge. On the other hand, mother wolves and presumably other predators genuinely gorge themselves on meat from a kill or found carrion, returning to the den to vomit the meat for their offspring.
Yesterday I saw a huge huntsman spider getting dragged around by a massive hornet trying to not in turn get eaten by a colony of monstrous ants Ahhh... Straya!
Having worked in an office setting for many years, learning about the sponge situation was an eye opener. I washed my mug daily, but there were times when I got sick and couldn't understand why. Now I have an inkling. Did someone else on the evening shift use my mug, wash it in contaminated water with a contaminated sponge? It does raise a frightening question.
As far as the whole sleep eating thing, I have personally experienced this twice that I know of, and both times I ate... undesirable... things. The first time I didn't wake up while I was sleep eating, but I discovered what I ate in the morning. I woke up with a very bad taste in my mouth, and looking around, I noticed that my cat's nearby food bowl was entirely empty. In fact, it was a spotlessly empty bowl without even the tiniest crumb. I also had the vague memory of mindlessly eating something crunchy. I sleep ate my cat's dry food until the bowl was empty. The second time I woke up while sleep eating because what I sleep ate was very offensive. In my sleep, I grabbed the ashtray off of the table next to me and dumped it in my mouth, instantly waking me up and prompting me to spit out all of the cigarette butts all over my bed and run to the bathroom to wash my mouth out, gagging all the way
Any chance you guys could do a Sideprojects on precious metals? Silver, platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium, iridium and osmium? Not on value like some crypto-bro channel, but on the history, uses, desirability, rarity and what makes them unique and special? I have a fascination with the elements and this would be right up my alley. Maybe someone else might be interested too, who knows lol
Oh for sure! I'm fascinated by how ancient metals were valued & how much tradition can affect modern pricing. And I'm a Montana historian, it's a big part of our story!
We had an elderly couple that ran the best bakery in the county. After her husband passed the wife began having these weird reactions that continued to get worse. She had to go through testing and things, turns out she had devoloped a sudden and agressive allery to the flour. She sold the bakery and retired. I dont think she minded much sonce it wasnt the same without her husband. Still miss their donuts ♡
I have a sister who develops 'reactions' to unusual things. My suspicion is that the lady, after the fashion of my sister, became allergic to work without the spur and assistance of Daddio.
I've seen so many videos of things they claim that you don't already know but it always ends up being stuff you already know. This video, actually has quite a few facts I didn't know and I love that!
The chlorinated water bit is something I learned in middle school. I was already a bit of a germaphobe and then finding out that the smell indicated the presence of urine and other contaminants was a serious source of anxiety for me. I wouldn’t get anywhere near a pool or hot tub that smelled like chlorine.
It's definitely your call! But it's not always due to urine (or other contaminants.) This video made me start researching, since we just moved to an area where we're drinking chlorinated water for the first time in years, and I can *always* smell/taste the chlorine. Since I'm pretty sure no one's sweated into the municipal water supply, I wanted to see what was up. Apparently, monochloramine is sometimes added to drinking water as a purifier. Why use something stinky? I'm guessing it's because chlorine is a more reactive chemical, but I'm adding it to my 'ask the chemists in my life' list of questions.
"Gloves are not the only latex products that people use, and it's quite possible that the reason you were born is that someone who came before you developed a latex allergy. " Best line.
I started laughing pretty hard at that part because I recently developed an allergy to latex due to eyelash glue and the thought went through my head about about what other latex products I am now no longer able to use…. 🤦🏼♀️
I live in Northern California, where shellfish consumption is almost a religion. I feel almost unique in my opinion that oysters look, smell and (likely) taste like large boogers. Also, crab and lobster meat smells like old socks / dirty shoes to me.
Yes! Crochet supposedly cannot be made by machines, because the hook catches on the yarn if not pulled through the stitches just right. That's not including the twisting motions you have to do, and sometimes wiggling the hook to get it in or out of the stitches!
@@killercare3909 yeah, my friend had a fig tree in his yard, about 5 years back. First time I ever had them fresh. They're so much better fresh, honestly. Dried pale in comparison, in my opinion.
@rolandbrooks8219 it's no idiom. It's called clinical death, which usually just requires the heart to stop. So if the person's heart stops, they have technically died, even if they get revived.

That’s a bad time, especially when your living family/decision maker refuses to accept reality and you live on as a vegetable with a machine breathing for you, liquid food going through a tube punched through your abdomen, and you collect festering bed sores like its going out of fashion. I work in a neuro icu. Fun times. I advise everyone to get their living will sorted once you get up in age or even earlier if you’re up for it
My sister used to be able to hoover own a shrimp platter in a matter of seconds. After she got pregnant she developed a life threating allergy to all fish, sea and freshwater. You can't even open a can of tuna if she's in the house.
A very good friend of mine developed a shrimp allergy In her 50s as well and it was sudden. She had a plate like she would have had any other time and all of a sudden blew up. Couldn't each other ever again!
I developed an allergy to taxotere, a chemo drug. My first round sucked, but didn't have any unexpected side effects. The second round, though, I just stopped breathing. I didn't have the breathing reflex, and couldn't manually make it happen either. They gave me Benadryl in the IV, and I recovered well enough. The third round, though, they gave me a big dose of Benadryl beforehand, but I still had the reaction. It went on a lot longer, I turned red all over, and they were pretty close to intubating me. They changed to doxorubicin for the fourth round. Oh, and I still went to work the evening after each round.
A friend of mine developed an allergy to alcohol in her 60’s. She had to take Benadryl if she wanted to have a beer or glass of wine an hour beforehand.
My mom developed a seafood allergy outta nowhere around age 40. She can’t have regular fish either. If it lives in the water, she can’t have it basically. She’s now in her 60s and her dr told her she could have lost the allergy over time but she’s not willing to risk a hospital visit to test that theory lol
I used to sleepwalk quite a bit as an adult. I was staying at my mom's place and apparently ate five pieces of string cheese and tucked the rest of the package under my pillow. I also once dreamed the house was on fire and sleep-ran down the stairs and out the front door before waking up and feeling incredibly lucky I was uninjured.
On locked in syndrome, Morse code could be a thing. I heard a guy on ham radio talk about his daughter. She was in a wheelchair and nonvocal. She *could* move her hands. They had set her up with a pair of levers, one hand for dots, the other for dashes. Being able to "talk" was life-changing.
I had a dream last night that Simon and I were hanging out in a parking lot talking about constellations when Sir Patrick Stewart showed up and got into a fistfight with a tweaker and beat the crap out of him right in front of us. It was epic!
Thank you so much for pointing out the fact about "alleged" slave labor in mass produced crochet. As someone who has been crocheting for over 10 years now. I am appalled when I see any kind of crochet wearable for under $150 and even that is pushing it. I'm also really over people complaining about my prices. Sorry, I don't work for slave wages.
Integral knitting machines output sweater that might be difficult to differentiate with crochet... those machines are not cheap, but can produce a fully finished sweater in about an hour. If on the other hand you talk about simple wearables such as scarves, shawls and beanies, they are 100% knitted and not crochetted.
At about the 48:50 min. mark, you talk about crochet while a video of knitting is showing. Many of the hobbyists remember the difference as "hookers & loopers" since knitting does not use hooks (except to affect corrections in previous rows), instead carrying about pointed sticks (don't tick one off). Fun show.
Have you ever tried cutting lactose (cheese, milk, etc.) out of your diet completely? No wonder I was so angry and a coworker compared me to his brother when kicking a heroin addiction! The first 3 months was rough! It's nuts, but it now makes a lot of sense. I'm still gonna eat figs though lol Thanks Simon!
Does he enjoy telling people that most vegetables eaten were grown in stuff that comes out the rear of ruminate animals? He should it's far more grotesque when you know exactly how much of that vegetable is actually made from that stuff that exited.
Fun fact: the suspected Anthrax poisoner around the time of 9/11 committed not-alive-anymore by taking the entire contents of a bottle of Tylenol before the FBI were able to apprehend him

"The scent of chlorinated water is an unmistakeable sign that summer has finally arrived" As a Greek this is one of the saddest things I have ever heard
YO- so heads up, Tylenol/acetaminophen can harm your liver even if you are taking a normal therapeutic dosage, it can harm your liver if you are taking below a normal dosage, too, if you have any other health issues... I cannot take Tylenol generally because it affects my liver so badly.
So many people mistake over-the-counter for safety, thanks for putting this out there. Other meds can affect other systems negatively in improper doses or with comorbidities too, like ibuprofen and naproxen (NSAIDs) potentially causing GI bleeds and kidney failure. Read the labels, and tell your doc about OTC meds and supplements too (tons of potential for interactions between many common household meds and Rx stuff)
@@mj.ray0898 very true, and even NSAIDS when taken like the label says, can negatively affect some, also like me. Always talk about your OTC and supplement habits to be safest!
50:00 is my phobia. Ever since I first listened to One by Metallica and learned the meaning of the song. Several years ago I was quite sick (ended up being a staph infection) I couldn't feel warm. I would stand in a shower at maximum heat and would still feel cool. Then I remembered that getting too hot can cause brain damage and I thought of locked-in syndrome and told my wife to call the ambos.
So the bit about figs. Sure, you may eat wasp bits, but did you know that the USDA actually as allowable levels of animal bits, including bug parts and rat droppings, that are acceptable in all processed foods. So that can of green beans or chili can actually have roach parts or rat poop in it. I'd rather eat a wasp.
In my youth I developed a liking for canned spinach. Then I read the USDA allowed a certain amount of aphids, bugs, on those leaves and I never ate canned spinach again.
So of the many factoids in this, the one that hits home the most is the allergy bit. My grandfather became allergic to bee venom in his 50s, my dad became allergic to his favorite food (shellfish) in his late 40s. Thus, I'll most likely develop a new and crippling allergy in my late 40s
Body farms! I have a shirt from one in Tennessee.. my wife is a medical interpreter and she traveled there a couple of times to assist foreign delegations in learning about rhe forensic science techniques they've developed there. It's fascinating stuff.
I don't normally sleepwalk, but once as a teen, I had a vivid dream of using a weedeater for a while (I worked in landscaping). The next morning, I woke up to find my pillow missing. Down a hall, down a short flight of stairs with a landing and a 90° turn, through the kitchen, and past 2 more corners, I found it on the couch by the front door 😅
A Broken Arrow is also a code phrase notably used during the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang to indicate an American combat unit was in danger of being overrun
In my youth, it was fairly popular to crush headache pills and make "tea" out of them, used to make the kick of alcohol more pungent. I guess I didn't do it too often since my liver is just fine according to my latest health inspection. Regarding Chlorine, I now wonder about why the tap water where I lived in the US tasted so strongly of it.
I love figs. My poppey used to jar then and give them to me every year. Fresh picked and procecced for my bday from his own fogtree. I know the wasp thing... And i hate being reminded of it,lol
The blue may you showed in the montage was not blue because of a genetic condition. He became blue from drinking water with colloidal silver (home-made) - which he did for his health.
The term "Broken Arrow" has a second meaning in a combat zone, it is a declaration from a Unit that it is about to be overrun, a Commander issuing this radio call is given immediate priority for fire support and air support.
I have a relative with a lifelong phobia to the sound of metal clanking together due to undergoing massive surgery in the early 80s with no anesthesia. This can include tools, silverware, or metallic percussion instruments like the triangle. She was only a few months old, yet she has "impressions" of what happened to her, most vividly the sound of the surgical tools clanking on a metal tray. It was so traumatic, her tiny brain apparently couldn't let it go, and that became her very first memory.
There were no venomous or dangerous spiders in Ireland UNTIL the Noble False Widow Spider arrived from the Canary Islands or Madeira in the late 1990's.
Yeah. I learned today that, especially in my childhood eating fig ls at grandma's house, I ate WAAAAYYY more wasps then I'd have hoped God would allow me to. 😂
Extra fact about body farms: According to Casual Geographic with a video as evidence; body farms are also how we learned that deer will chew on human bones.
The problem with the current state of pain relief in the U.S. right now is because of the opioid crisis combined with doctors worried about people with chronic pain being opioid seekers, there is no real alternative but to take too much acetaminophen, or even a handful cocktail of OTC painkillers to function enough to work. Pain management isn't always an answer.
Oh,I have Spinal Stenosis, among other things... thankfully my Dr. Does treat me like a person and I get pain meds,,my life wouldn't be much if I didn't get a few days of almost normal,what should drs.do??? and I'm not addicted to anything,...
People abusing opioids and manipulating the system leads to patients like me in pain 24/7 who have to basically choose to be on a probation like system and have my proven chronic pain second guessed which leads to me not getting adequate pain management. So many of us suffer and can't get our pain managed because people F'd up everything.
Also, if you don't spay/neuter your dogs and cats, it puts them at a much higher risk for testicular or mammory cancer. A female's risk of cancer goes up with every heat cycle. Also, rats are prone to mammory tumors as well. 10:23
It's odd because it's just called Paracetemol in the UK. Not sure why they stuck with a mispronounced American generic aside from maybe making it sound scary by not pointing out that most of the world uses it extensively and it appears on the WHO's Basic Essential Medications list.

He covered Ferrets in spay your pets, but dogs also get a condition called pyometera which is also fatal unless spayed, but they typically aren't at risk til 8+ years. What the fact does not contain is telling people for over a decade to spay their dog, and then they come back with a pyo crying to save them and that $200 spay turned into a $2000 surgery and they yell at you about the cost. Even though you spent over a decade warning them (the difference in cost included).
I had surgery on my throat as a neonate in 1957. I've suffered irrational fear and anxiety along with other emotional difficulties all my life and I've wondered if my surgery was an influence.

Thanks for pointing out that strokes can happen to literally anyone. I had my first TIA (mini-stroke) at 21 out of nowhere, and was initially misdiagnosed. Later, I was correctly diagnosed- with a brain tumor. Luckily, I've since had it surgically removed and have made an almost- full recovery.
That's awesome mate. Hope you keep doing well. 👍👌

I live out in the countryside and was puzzled why I could often smell bacon and other foods cooking during the hours before dawn. It turned out that when a breeze was blowing in the right direction, the smells of breakfast foods being cooked by an early rising neighbor a quarter of a mile down the road were detectable to me. Only a few molecules are necessary.
sometimes when the wind is right i can smell the paper factory thats 72km away. smells bad xD
It's actually something that got twisted through "telephone game" I think. It's a reference to seizures, not strokes :) Some people smell things before they are about to have a seizure. When I grew up, we referenced seizures, but apparently Kids These Days(tm) have heard it differently :)

As someone that suffers from a version of temporary 'Locked in Syndrome" (ie Periodic Paralysis) it was in fact horrifying the first few times. Now after over 25 years of attacks, it's just damn annoying. My heart does go out to those are locked in, I wouldn't wish it on my own worst enemy.

“And I am never eating figs again” 😂
I appreciated you personalizing it for a moment.
Birds don’t vomit into their chicks’ mouths; they regurgitate from the crop, where the food becomes a sort of porridge. On the other hand, mother wolves and presumably other predators genuinely gorge themselves on meat from a kill or found carrion, returning to the den to vomit the meat for their offspring.
The eye tooth thing goes crazy. Medical science is incredible like how did they figure out this was a viable option?

Having worked in an office setting for many years, learning about the sponge situation was an eye opener. I washed my mug daily, but there were times when I got sick and couldn't understand why. Now I have an inkling. Did someone else on the evening shift use my mug, wash it in contaminated water with a contaminated sponge? It does raise a frightening question.
Found out the hardway that someone else was using my mug at work... Nasty stomach upset.
I have seen a male duck pick up ducklings and fling them several feet because they are in his way. That was a learning experience.
Better than killing them like hippos, bears, and other animals do...
Thats why duck farmers separate the Mother duck and ducklings because of this.
As far as the whole sleep eating thing, I have personally experienced this twice that I know of, and both times I ate... undesirable... things. The first time I didn't wake up while I was sleep eating, but I discovered what I ate in the morning. I woke up with a very bad taste in my mouth, and looking around, I noticed that my cat's nearby food bowl was entirely empty. In fact, it was a spotlessly empty bowl without even the tiniest crumb. I also had the vague memory of mindlessly eating something crunchy. I sleep ate my cat's dry food until the bowl was empty. The second time I woke up while sleep eating because what I sleep ate was very offensive. In my sleep, I grabbed the ashtray off of the table next to me and dumped it in my mouth, instantly waking me up and prompting me to spit out all of the cigarette butts all over my bed and run to the bathroom to wash my mouth out, gagging all the way
Any chance you guys could do a Sideprojects on precious metals? Silver, platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium, iridium and osmium? Not on value like some crypto-bro channel, but on the history, uses, desirability, rarity and what makes them unique and special?

This would actually be pretty cool!
The channel you're looking for is called Periodic Videos.
@@DawidUliczny-ro7eo thank you for the suggestion! I just checked it out. Can't wait to watch more.

I have a sister who develops 'reactions' to unusual things. My suspicion is that the lady, after the fashion of my sister, became allergic to work without the spur and assistance of Daddio.

The chlorinated water bit is something I learned in middle school. I was already a bit of a germaphobe and then finding out that the smell indicated the presence of urine and other contaminants was a serious source of anxiety for me. I wouldn’t get anywhere near a pool or hot tub that smelled like chlorine.
It's definitely your call! But it's not always due to urine (or other contaminants.) This video made me start researching, since we just moved to an area where we're drinking chlorinated water for the first time in years, and I can *always* smell/taste the chlorine.
Since I'm pretty sure no one's sweated into the municipal water supply, I wanted to see what was up. Apparently, monochloramine is sometimes added to drinking water as a purifier. Why use something stinky? I'm guessing it's because chlorine is a more reactive chemical, but I'm adding it to my 'ask the chemists in my life' list of questions.
"Gloves are not the only latex products that people use, and it's quite possible that the reason you were born is that someone who came before you developed a latex allergy. " Best line.

If you shudder at the thought of wasp contaminated figs, stay away from lobster, described by some as "the biggest bug I ever ate".
That is why sometimes a fig was crunchy! oh yuck.
I live in Northern California, where shellfish consumption is almost a religion. I feel almost unique in my opinion that oysters look, smell and (likely) taste like large boogers. Also, crab and lobster meat smells like old socks / dirty shoes to me.

Yes! Crochet supposedly cannot be made by machines, because the hook catches on the yarn if not pulled through the stitches just right. That's not including the twisting motions you have to do, and sometimes wiggling the hook to get it in or out of the stitches!
I just want to give those search and rescue dogs hugs.
Holy shit figs are so metal

Why I have a fig tree
I always like the extra crunch when eating them fresh
@@killercare3909 yeah, my friend had a fig tree in his yard, about 5 years back. First time I ever had them fresh. They're so much better fresh, honestly. Dried pale in comparison, in my opinion.

I really hate this idiom. If you actually died, you would be dead and unable to type that message

my father developed an allergy to shell fish at the age of 50, and after visiting a hibachi restaurant, came home and blew up like a balloon.
My sister used to be able to hoover own a shrimp platter in a matter of seconds. After she got pregnant she developed a life threating allergy to all fish, sea and freshwater. You can't even open a can of tuna if she's in the house.
A very good friend of mine developed a shrimp allergy In her 50s as well and it was sudden. She had a plate like she would have had any other time and all of a sudden blew up. Couldn't each other ever again!
I developed an allergy to taxotere, a chemo drug. My first round sucked, but didn't have any unexpected side effects. The second round, though, I just stopped breathing. I didn't have the breathing reflex, and couldn't manually make it happen either. They gave me Benadryl in the IV, and I recovered well enough. The third round, though, they gave me a big dose of Benadryl beforehand, but I still had the reaction. It went on a lot longer, I turned red all over, and they were pretty close to intubating me.
They changed to doxorubicin for the fourth round.
Oh, and I still went to work the evening after each round.
A friend of mine developed an allergy to alcohol in her 60’s. She had to take Benadryl if she wanted to have a beer or glass of wine an hour beforehand.
My mom developed a seafood allergy outta nowhere around age 40. She can’t have regular fish either. If it lives in the water, she can’t have it basically. She’s now in her 60s and her dr told her she could have lost the allergy over time but she’s not willing to risk a hospital visit to test that theory lol
I used to sleepwalk quite a bit as an adult. I was staying at my mom's place and apparently ate five pieces of string cheese and tucked the rest of the package under my pillow. I also once dreamed the house was on fire and sleep-ran down the stairs and out the front door before waking up and feeling incredibly lucky I was uninjured.
On locked in syndrome, Morse code could be a thing. I heard a guy on ham radio talk about his daughter. She was in a wheelchair and nonvocal. She *could* move her hands. They had set her up with a pair of levers, one hand for dots, the other for dashes. Being able to "talk" was life-changing.

Thank you so much for pointing out the fact about "alleged" slave labor in mass produced crochet. As someone who has been crocheting for over 10 years now. I am appalled when I see any kind of crochet wearable for under $150 and even that is pushing it. I'm also really over people complaining about my prices. Sorry, I don't work for slave wages.
Integral knitting machines output sweater that might be difficult to differentiate with crochet... those machines are not cheap, but can produce a fully finished sweater in about an hour. If on the other hand you talk about simple wearables such as scarves, shawls and beanies, they are 100% knitted and not crochetted.
In the Blue people section, the man that looks like purple santa became that way on purpose by consuming vast quantities of colloidal silver.
Thought so.
There are a genetic group of people who are born this way and the man who took the colloidal silver. Two separate groups of people.
At about the 48:50 min. mark, you talk about crochet while a video of knitting is showing. Many of the hobbyists remember the difference as "hookers & loopers" since knitting does not use hooks (except to affect corrections in previous rows), instead carrying about pointed sticks (don't tick one off). Fun show.
Have you ever tried cutting lactose (cheese, milk, etc.) out of your diet completely? No wonder I was so angry and a coworker compared me to his brother when kicking a heroin addiction!

So many people mistake over-the-counter for safety, thanks for putting this out there. Other meds can affect other systems negatively in improper doses or with comorbidities too, like ibuprofen and naproxen (NSAIDs) potentially causing GI bleeds and kidney failure.

The WEF says that you will eat buggy figs and like it.
Remember if you’re named after one of your parents the other has said your name in bed
So the bit about figs. Sure, you may eat wasp bits, but did you know that the USDA actually as allowable levels of animal bits, including bug parts and rat droppings, that are acceptable in all processed foods. So that can of green beans or chili can actually have roach parts or rat poop in it. I'd rather eat a wasp.
you will feel far worse if you understand it is necessary and almost all shops have pests and it is nearly impossible to get rid of them.
In my youth I developed a liking for canned spinach. Then I read the USDA allowed a certain amount of aphids, bugs, on those leaves and I never ate canned spinach again.

I spent 3 days in ICU in 2008 for an accidentally Tylenol overdose. Thankfully I made a full recovery but I've been a lot more careful since then.
So of the many factoids in this, the one that hits home the most is the allergy bit. My grandfather became allergic to bee venom in his 50s, my dad became allergic to his favorite food (shellfish) in his late 40s. Thus, I'll most likely develop a new and crippling allergy in my late 40s

Figs are the most metal food. They literally dissolve the biggest flying jerks, Wasps, and make a delicious snack.

I have a relative with a lifelong phobia to the sound of metal clanking together due to undergoing massive surgery in the early 80s with no anesthesia. This can include tools, silverware, or metallic percussion instruments like the triangle. She was only a few months old, yet she has "impressions" of what happened to her, most vividly the sound of the surgical tools clanking on a metal tray. It was so traumatic, her tiny brain apparently couldn't let it go, and that became her very first memory.

The problem with the current state of pain relief in the U.S. right now is because of the opioid crisis combined with doctors worried about people with chronic pain being opioid seekers, there is no real alternative but to take too much acetaminophen, or even a handful cocktail of OTC painkillers to function enough to work. Pain management isn't always an answer.
Oh,I have Spinal Stenosis, among other things... thankfully my Dr. Does treat me like a person and I get pain meds,,my life wouldn't be much if I didn't get a few days of almost normal,what should drs.do??? and I'm not addicted to anything,...
People abusing opioids and manipulating the system leads to patients like me in pain 24/7 who have to basically choose to be on a probation like system and have my proven chronic pain second guessed which leads to me not getting adequate pain management. So many of us suffer and can't get our pain managed because people F'd up everything.

He covered Ferrets in spay your pets, but dogs also get a condition called pyometera which is also fatal unless spayed, but they typically aren't at risk til 8+ years. What the fact does not contain is telling people for over a decade to spay their dog, and then they come back with a pyo crying to save them and that $200 spay turned into a $2000 surgery and they yell at you about the cost. Even though you spent over a decade warning them (the difference in cost included).
I'm sure ice cream manufacturers use much more expensive castorium instead of real vanilla because they don't want too much profit.
