I stopped mainlining Red Bull into my eyeballs, I stopped snorting pre-workout, I stopped shooting up with melted vitamin gummies, but even now after years of chubbyemu I simply refuse to stop eating random leftovers that have been on the kitchen counter for a day. And of course I still microwave rice.
Do you also put frozen pizza back into the freezer after baking it so it doesnt waste
Rice is invincible, can't change my mind
How can it be bad to microwave rice when they literally make it in a packet for you to microwave? Riddle me that, SCIENCE!
Me at one point : if I blast it in the microwave for long enough surely any and all bacteria will be dead xD
Rice, rice, baby!
The most suspicious thing is that it takes someone more than a day to eat a burger
I know right?!
You give me a burger it will be gone within few minutes.
Unless it's a 20lb one
i’m like that, i hardly ever leave more than half of it uneaten unless im very hungry
how much pizza did they buy to eat it all weekend and still have left over for monday too!
Its normaly a 3 minutes thing with me.

Growing up, my dad would NEVER leave anything perishable out at room temp. if he did not intend on eating it immediately. My mom wasn't as OCD, but she did always complain if I didnt wash my hands before eating. I'm glad they both set a good example.
Many years ago I came home from work absolutely starving. I hadn't gone to the store since I had quite a bit of canned stuff at home. When I got home though I realized that none of it was pre-made food, (like soup or frozen dinners), so I was forced to simply eat food that I normally would have used to cook with, raw materials if you like. One thing I could eat right out the can was stewed tomatoes. Add some bread on the side and it's a rather tasty and filling dinner. When I picked up the can of tomatoes it looked kind of funny, a little swollen on one end, but I figured it had just gotten squished somehow. Anyway, it tasted fine. By the next morning however, I was feeling weak and my eyelids seemed to be drooping. Shortly after that I started feeling weakness in my extremities. Having no idea what was wrong but now becoming very frightened I went to the hospital. When I described my symptoms I was suddenly surrounded by doctors, techs taking my blood and other fluids and a getting more assorted tests than I could count. The diagnosis came back very quickly: I had botulism poisoning. I was given the antitoxin but still needed supplemental oxygen for 2 weeks. I was very lucky. Untreated botulism is fatal about 50% of the time and even if you survive you can have permanent lung and nerve damage. Moral: If a can is bulging don't even open it! Report it to your doctor or health dept so it can be properly tested and the source identified and corrected.
report the can of tomatoes to my doctor?
@@hardlyworking_ He's saying that the can of stewed tomatoes was *long* since expired, hence why the can was bulging.
@@101VoltsIIRC Botulism poisoning has nothing to do with expiration dates, just about the bacteria being present in the can due to mistakes in the canning process.
I knew exactly what you had as soon as you described the can. Glad you got treatment quickly and are OK now
holy shit that’s so scary.
The “where we are now” really hits different when you’re watching from the ER
Edit: I’m fine, my heart just likes jazz rhythms
I would ask for an explanation but instead I wish good luck for whatever reason you're there.
Hope you're alright man.
Good luck. Hope everything turns out well for you.
Good luck! I wish you well.
I'm just glad that you went. My life partner refused to go and ended up dead before 50.
Speedy recovery 🙏
So...it actually wasn't the fact that the patient habitually left food out for hours or days at room-temperature that bred the shiga-toxin E. coli? It was just the poop lettuce??? What you're telling me is I'm gonna be okay if I leave my gas station nachos out overnight, huh? Love your videos, maybe I can be in one someday!
Yeah I don't understand what bearing the backstory of her lax dietary habits had. It's like "Todd doesn't wear a seatbelt and habitually texts while driving. While parking his car Todd's vehicle was struck by a meteorite."
Poop nachos.
@@Nyral Refrigerating food slows down the growth of any bacteria already present. So, maybe if she hadn't let the E. coli population blow up like crazy at room temperature, she would've been sick but not "blood out of butt" sick.
@@Nyral if she didnt leave it out the amount of bacteria ingessted would be a fraction of what she actually did. The difference being mild case of the runs and emding up in the emergency room.
@@Nyral what entropy said. Bacteria is alive, it's reproducing. Even though lettuce doesn't get up to high or low temps to really kill the bacteria along the way, it's still multiplying and there is a threshold where your normal process won't be able to handle it without ER trip
I had to harshly explain to my best friend to refrigerate the pizza we'd buy the night we get it. He kept up his iron stomach routine and I had to explain that I don't have one. I told him it'll kill him one day and I'm not going to let it happen to me and go in on pie with him anymore. Thankfully he listened but I hope he kept up with the practice when we moved apart.
Dang that's some confidence he got there 😂 Good that you make your point clear. Better safe than sorry.
@@FielValeryRTS "better safe than sorry" is why half of the population is immunocompromised lol. Better to strike a balance on caution
@@xraceboyex tell me you don’t understand immunocompromisation without telling me 🙄 The first thing it says when you look up what the causes are is that it’s most often either genetic, malnutrition, or from being in poor sanitary conditions.
@@charlestona3865 Where did it say that minimizing your exposure to pathogens, especially in your youth, isn't a cause? I didn't say it was the only cause. "Tell me without telling me" is not an argument nd sounds juvenile and petty - more like you're looking for social validation than making an argument. I'll refrain from questioning your intelligence and stick to my argument.

I love your background music so much, it always creates a slightly anxious atmosphere without making it uncomfortable and yet somehow it’s also calming at the same time.
I once ate a burger at a restaurant. On the first bite, something made me go "Something is very off about this burger." It wasn't the taste, feel, smell, or anything that could've given away that it was bad. Just a sense of foreboding. I decided to ignore that feeling. Within 6hrs I regretted it as I was up vomitting every hour the whole night. I'm never ignoring that feeling ever again
yeah vomiting a few times was really hard for me, but for *multiple hours* that must have been horrible
So you developed psychic powers yooooo
It's an evolutionary hang over we have, it's like dogs & cats can sense when food is bad, we can sometimes do it. It happened to me with a dodgy chicken kebab, I ignored it too, it was the worst Xmas ever, I lost 30lbs
Same thing happened to me with a gas station burger I had for lunch, something just tasted off about it. But I had already paid for it, so I just put mustard on it to cover the strangeness and powered through. Withing a few hours of eating it I felt kinda weak and dizzy, by the time I got home I was sweating bullets. I then proceeded to have one of the worst nights of my life. I felt like I was dying. I was out of work for like 2 days after just curled up in my sweat soaked bed. 😅
Wouldn't wish that feeling on my worst enemy.
I know EXACTLY what you mean. Strange how that is
I was genuinely surprised that the kidneys recovered like that. I had thought it was going to result in "a" recovery, and a life of dialysis.
Right some people are not even fortunate to be on dialysis they die. She pretty much made a full recovery. He said her kidney recover almost too normal. The most is she probably has some food sensitivity.
maybe she really has good genes from father.
@@boredape1257 💀💀
Just luck, materials in her blood didn't end up injuring her kidneys.
Appeared to function almost as they were before isn't an ideal recovery. To poot simply it means her kidney damage has no clinical impact yet. But I suspect that morphologicly there are nephrons that substituted with connective tissue, and later in life when she'll aquire more kidney damage. It will lead to chronical kidney disease easier.
It's funny how the video starts off saying "leftovers bad" but in the end it turns out it wasn't eating leftovers that made her sick. It was her lettuce which had already been contaminated in the first place! The patty in her burger wasn't spoiled or anything.
Right? The irony lmao
Refrigeration would’ve limited the rate at which those bacteria multiply. This is one of the obvious things that prevents food poisoning. Contaminants are often present in food in low amounts that won’t harm you. But leaving it out makes the bacteria grow exponentially faster. It’s the same reason why refrigerated leftovers also go bad eventually too, just slower. No one said leftovers are bad. It’s unrefrigerated leftovers that are bad. If she would’ve refrigerated it, it’s unlikely she would have such a severe case. Would’ve been a mild case at worse. People with improper food handling are always the primary ones who get sick(est) from outbreaks.
I'm amazed at how often some patients make a full recovery, given how drastic the symptoms & organ damage. Better to learn from the mistakes of others. These videos should be shown in school Health classes.
What I want to know is how large was that freaking Pizza that a full grown man and his kid can eat from it and nothing else for several days oO ??
As a sidenote I think we can agree the lesson of this story is "Never put lettuce or other greens on your burger and always deep fry it for at least 5 minutes just to be safe"
true the few times I've gotten food poisoning, it was from plants, not meat.
Soaking your plants in salt water is a good way to start each time eating greens.
@@caseyb1346 plants, like the romaine in this video, are contaminated by animal agriculture.
@@caseyb1346 and the plants in all cases got contaminated from meat and/or livestock
@@konstantinlindner1037 "in all cases"
I just don't understand how someone could honestly think food poisoning is a sham...
Bro people think the Earth being a globe is a sham
Well, in fairness, we don't really know what she or her father said for sure.
*Same way many people believe that animals can consent to sex with humans is a sham.* Or that earth being round is a sham, or that dinosaurs were real is a shame.
Brain damage
Probably just a means to rationalize regularly consuming leftovers left out in the open.
I love the part where she had the food piled up on her head 😂 it’s random things like this that I love in these videos 😂
I tell you what doc, you have absolutely made me look at food and cooking in a different way
This video is missing the satisfying ending where you say she's learned her lesson about food
Because she didn't the cause of the food wasn't her bad habit but a contaminated batch of lettuce.
@@juanbrits3002 actually, she was. You should always wash produce before consuming it, for just this reason. Hell, the Army not only washes produce, they disinfect it with calcium hypochlorite bath before using it, again, for just this reason.
Worse, she put the infectious lettuce on a burger, then left it to incubate for a day, as the meat makes for an ideal culture medium for e. coli.
Ironically, we naturally harbor one type of e. coli in our gut, the toxin seems to have originated in a bacteria that causes a type of dysentery, itself related to e. coli, but in this case, it's typically a strain common in livestock that were infected by a bacteriophage, a virus that only attacks specific bacteria species and strains that gives this type of e. coli the ability to make the toxin. The toxin going through cells endoplasmic recticulum, basically punching out critical sections and traveling on to keep doing so, rendering the cell incapable of making proteins.
Mother nature sure seems to take a great dislike of us at times!
I didn't know that shigella like toxin and shigella toxin behave so similarly to ricin, nasty stuff, as it hits so much of the cell's ER! Nasty stuff!
I hope you make a full recovery from your hypernatremia. Hyper meaning High Natre meaning salt, emia meaning presence in blood. High presence of salt in blood.
@@juanbrits3002 leaving it out certainly didn't help and could be the difference between getting sick and not getting sick or the severity of it
point was food poisoning can be serious and there were bad eating habits that raised that risk
Maybe same thing would have happened, maybe not.. but it increased the chance of something more severe happening

It's weird how some people can get sick enough to be forced to go into the ER that are conscious and not delerious, and they don't immediately tell the doctors and staff about some of the stuff they had recently consumed. If I'm that sick, I'll tell them about the pizza I ate the other day that had a suspiciously burnt piece of pepperoni on it compared to the other slices. A list of suspicious foods can def help doctors narrow down potential causes faster and shorten the testing time.
EDIT: This is an observation across many of Chubbyemu's videos, not just this one.
Oh no why am I seeing furries everywhere?
@@luckywah8149 You've got your furvision on, you're the only one
Wish people have this much common sense
Maybe it's the "food poisoning can't happen to me" mentality like what the patient in the video has?
When you're sick it tough to think rationally. I have a hard enough time remembering what I had for dinner yesterday as it is.
It happened to me and my family. Not from a specific outbreak, but likely from the water tank on an airplane. No one really tells people not to wash their hands in a bathroom, but airplane bathroom water tanks are notorious for having extremely high levels of E Coli, and so doing so and eating a meal onboard the flight before washing your hands in a more sanitary place can give you the toxin - not a high chance, but we do have weird luck I suppose.
Both of them were in their late 60s with underlying health conditions and almost died, dad spent a week in the hospital and narrowly avoided dialysis, and mom spent over a month in the hospital getting blood transfusions as she’s immunocompromised. I didn’t go despite my symptoms because I’m my 20s, I don’t like hospitals and I suspected E Coli before the tests confirmed it so there’d be no reason to come in unless I was losing a massive amount of blood - did get blood work at the regular doctor to check kidney function and all, though.
Abdominal pain was the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life, for a few days it was happening every twenty minutes. I nearly passed out from it several times and on the worst day I spent almost 24 hours basically immobilized on my bed when not in the bathroom. The waves of acute pain took at least ten days to fully absolve.
Thank you for sharing this. Now I know to use hand sanitizer. I’m sorry that happened but glad everyone made it through!
Interesting! As a flight attendant for almost 9 years, I ALWAYS washed my hands before touching my food and was fine. I never knew that before though.
thank you for sharing, I'm sure this will help a lot of people boarding a flight.
Lesson learned: Don’t leave food out.
One of my friends called me recently because his wife wanted to know if pork she left out for *_twenty-four hours_* was still good. How this woman is still alive is beyond my comprehension. She leaves food out all the time.
Because somebody else in her life stops her and gets a witness account to say 'yes, that's dumb.' Bless your soul.
I have a friend like this. I'd be dead.
The overwhelming amount of food poisoning comes from plants and ground animal. Generally meat will be fine even left out for twenty-four hours. The surface area is much less. Plants like lettuce have a much larger surface area among all the crevices. And many plant surfaces are porous.

In high school I had a friend who was always having GI issues. He'd throw up a lot and always seemed to be sick of his stomach. His mom would make pot roast and just leave it on the counter from him to snack on all day. His apartment was INFESTED with roaches. I imagine that the meat being left out for hours combined with the cockroaches meant he was eating a steady stream of tainted meat.
It always hits me how low things can become for people. Count your lucky stars if you get a decent starting hand.

I had a friend who completly neglected his house. Outside he hoarded trash, inside was more trash plus dog pop all over the place. He was so messed up but also in denial. He dosen't believe in shrinks, so his traumas Are left to fester. He also has to deal with a lot of pain after his shoulders got messed up years ago. He drinks, as his stomach can't deal with pain killers. Last time I was there he was running errands, so i cleaned the second floor. It's not a big space but it took 5 trash bags, 15 buckets of water to clean the floors (had to change the water very often) and almost two hours. I did it because his son was on his way to visit him. Then I left. I can't be his support, he's a grown man and if he wants to stew in shit, i am not going down with him. And i'm not his maid...
Mental health is important, if you Are messed up in the head, chances Are good that your enviroment is messed up too. But some Are also just lazy and not educated when it comes to food safety.

I got a deadly strain of ecoli a few months ago. Had a fever of 102-104 for about 5 days and did not sleep for three because I would have diarrhea about every hour while I was sick, which prevented me from getting sleep.
My 2 dogs got it too. They fared much better than I did, but they still got sick.
This is the first time a chubbyemu vid has hit so close to home. I had this exact variant of E.Coli a couple of weeks before my university finals a couple of years ago. I also got this bacteria from a contaminated burger and suffered an intense amount of a pain for a long while. It’s crazy to think how much worse it could’ve been and it makes me so much more thankful that I’m alright now.
Edit: Just noticed it also lines up with the year I got it too (2018), maybe the same source? Nuts if so

I have crohns. its like having e coli for life. drs dgaf about finding a cure or even the cause cuz those biologics only kill some ppl and only cause bad side effects in ppl that dont matter. CCFA is a joke and has done nothing meaningful in nearly 30 years
I do remember there being a big recall on lettuce a while back, so it's probably the same source.
The case I remember thinking "what were they thinking" was the one where a cow pasture was situated near an open-air facility where the romaine lettuce was being rinsed. Dust from the cow pasture blew into the open-air facility, so particles ended up in the romaine lettuce.
I never thought that would be the way vegetables get contaminated, My aunt raises hens and has a vegetable garden too so now I'm suspicious.
@@AK4Uwolfen i would think the problem was that the particles landed on the food /after/ it had been rinsed. If you have hens outdoors in a small scale, and their waste isnt drying up into dust, and you rinse your vegetables in the kitchen with clean water, then it should be safer than a big facility with lots of animals that can contaminate each other
That's why I wash fruits and veggies before eating them, with the exception of bananas, oranges, or anything else with a tough skin I need to peel first. You just don't know what's going to contaminate the skin.
I remember when there was a huge recall on lettuce contaminated with E. Coli back in 2019. To think they pay those people salaries who think of things like that.

Sis was always getting food poisoning. When I moved in with her I understood why. I very rarely eat anything she has prepared and never anything uncooked unless I've seen her prepare it. She was in food service her entire adult life and how she did not kill people... She was a flight attendant.
I once had a bacterial infection in my intestines. I don't know what it was from. I can think of some rice I had that might have been bad, but I was also eating out a lot and eating food other people had made at their home. I have had covid, swine flu, horrible stomach flus and I can still say that was the worst illness I have ever had and I hope I never experience that again.
While a little bit of salt is used in pickling to stave off some microbes while allowing others (like the ones that make pickles sour), the amount of salt needed to halt practically all microbe activity is... a lot. A lot of salt. When the dad talks about salt being used historically to preserve food, that food was basically inedible until the food was soaked or otherwise treated to remove some of the salt.
Yup, first step for preparing salt pork to eat is washing out all the salt
@@MolecularMachine yeah the way you make it is to pour a half inch of salt in a barrel, layer pork on top, another half inch of salt, so on until the container is full. Its literally mostly salt until you wash it
True that. As long as something is still a moist food, it's probably not salty enough to suppress bacterial growth. Unless you're also letting it ferment, but that essentially just means trying to promote one kind of microorganism so it'll keep the others away.
Then again, I've had some pizzas in the past where I felt like they should have had a good soak to flush out the salt first....
They used to store butter in salt. That's what used to be salted butter.
@@vivianloney8826 yep! And we don't need salted butter because we have fridges now, but they still make it because we're used to the flavour.
I ate a ‘suspicious burger’ at a festival once, I saw them cleaning the spatula on a dirty kitchen towel but I was too drunk and it impairment my judgement. I was so ill about a day later, it still causes me nightmares when I think about the hospital trip. I had never been so sick.
I had campylobacter food poisoning. I’m not medically trained so I’m not sure what exactly it is, I do know it isn’t the worst. But I was very very poorly and in pain 🫣. No more suspicious food for me
Campylobacteriosis is considered “mild” (even though it’s painful). However, it can be tough to treat because the bacteria that cause it are gram-negative and therefore have a tough outer membrane instead of an easily-targeted peptidoglycan cell wall. Sorry to ramble but I’m doing my PhD on antibiotic resistance and couldn’t help myself
This happened when I ate a hot dog at a carnival once. I did go back for round two a few hours later because teenagers are stupid

Last fall I came down with e.coli and spent a week in the hospital recovering. After a week at home, I got worse, went back to the hospital, and found out I had Hemalytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and had to spend another week in a different hospital where I needed a blood transfusion. Food is not to be toyed with, I've always been careful about food and still got my kidneys kicked hard by it, I am even more careful about it now. I can empathize with this patient. The diarreah I had was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. When the HUS set-in, my legs swelled twice their size, I could barley walk on my swollen feet. I was so tired from the anemia that I couldn't even walk 15 feet across the ER without panting and wheezing. I was out of work for a full month in total. This strain of e.coli and HUS is *NO JOKE*! I still don't know what/where I ate that I got this nasty bug.
Man, quality video. Informative but not fear-mongering. A+
Wow. A cautionary tale for sure. One of my cousins was one of the 'victims' in the Jack-in-the-Box e. coli thing in Washington state that passed quickly on the screen toward the end of the video. And last year, I took a friend to an urgent care. He'd left food out too long, just like this woman and her dad. In both cases, I'm happy to say, they made a full recovery.

Oh dude waaay more than just E. Coli. Listeria Monocytogenes, Bacillus Cereus or Bacillus Anthracis (extremely rare) and bunches of others
no shit Sherlock. any civilized person knows this
yup wash your hands after any interaction with livestock or exotic animals, and even with dogs and cats at the very least wash your hands after you pick up their poop/clean up their litter.
how bad is education that we need to tell people to wash their hands before handling food...
@@PeteFredrickson This reminds me of my friend’s neighbour . She’d pick up her dogs poo with a plastic bag but no gloves. Then she wouldn’t wash her hands and she’d cook. She’d baked some gorgeous looking cookies for my neighbour and her family . Her mum wrapped the cookies up in a kitchen towel and they went straight in the bin!
also important to note: antibiotics are also contraindicated in E coli O157H7 related hemolytic uremic syndrome because killing the bacteria causes it to release more toxins, which makes things worse, in addition to some antibiotics being nephrotoxic

“If I’m going to die, I’m taking you with me.”
I don't know how many people noticed this, but that burger was RAW!
My family's friends kid almost died because of e.coli back in 07 or 08, he was 12 I think. I was told that they ate at a fast food restaurant and a few days later he was in the hospital, not sure if that's true or not, but he was in there from what I can remember a few months... he made it though thankfully, but I've always been very careful about food after that incident realizing the possibility of something like that happening.
As a dad who lives in Australia and that first story about the pizza gave me serious anxiety. I consider myself pretty loose on food safety by leaving food out to cool before sticking it in the fridge. Food that is left out overnight gets thrown in the bin. There is no way I would leave pizza out for 3 days... :|
For me its less about the bacteria and things going soggy/stale
The safest practice is to cool quickly. Food stays at bad temps longer the larger it is too. Like putting a big pot of soup in a large shallow pan or cutting meat to smaller pieces.
There is no way for pizza to last half an hour before it will be devoured in my home
@@user-fi4rn6hr4r Pizza usually lasts for a dinner and if the kids are not being bottomless pits then tomorrow's lunch here lol
I've left pizza out (inside the box) for several days. It's fine. It's just cheese and bread. The cheese cools down and gets hard. Many Cheeses can be stored at room temperature
I really appreciate that you always take the time to break down the etymology of medical terms, thanks for putting so much time and effort into educating us!
-emia meaning presence in blood
etym-, meaning sense of truth, and -ology, meaning the study of. Burger, from German Bürger, meaning citizen.

The "anemia " which he translated to "without blood" (bloodless) is referring to the appearance of looking bloodless (like a corpse). E.g iron deficiency anemia makes you look very pale in this way.

Hear, hear! The storytelling is what makes this :)

I get the sense that a lot of people who "never get food poisoning" just chalk up any of the stomachache/digestive issues caused by food poisoning to random chance.
*meanwhile my teeth slowly rotting away to the tune of Lifeformed as chubbyemu counts down the days until he can finally release*
*"a man avoided the dentist since middle school. this is what happened to his organs."*
I am shocked this managed to be a FULL recovery. Whenever I see that the kidneys are involved, my mind jumps to A recovery.
Kidneys are incredibly resilient and you can survive comfortably despite significant kidney damage. When you see people on dialysis, I tend to liken it to the severity of being on bypass.
@@turkicnomad5632 I'm guessing that you're referring to coronary artery bypass, nope. Dialysis is closer to ECMO, as it's invasive and blood is being managed externally, one filtering toxins from the blood, the other bypassing heart and lungs.
With severe enough to require permanent dialysis, one frequently needs to get shots of a hormone made by the kidneys to keep your red blood cell count up.
I jumped straight to "at autopsy" for some reason idk why
I've had family members not know they were in ESRD until they were hospitalized. My dad and uncle both had it, I have CKD. Unfortunately, my dad didn't survive his ordeal with his disease and passed from multiple organ failure. My uncle, however, recieved a new kidney. Most people waiting for a new kidney, however, will die waiting for a new one.
Conversely, one organ donor can help save eight people's lives.

After recently had a 4 day hospital stay and a ureter stent & surgery to release a malformed kidney stone that was blocking.. I now have the utmost respect for my kidneys . I also had a mom who preached the perils of the various causes of food poisoning as a child and at 63 I know the risks well- and never ever leave your tuna/ chicken etc mayo based sandwiches sit in warmth for hours especially, and wash your fresh veggies, and cook your meats.
My hubby had stents in his ureters stones to large to pass….after the procedure he was relieved
It’s amazing how the body recovers after taking a total beating
Back in my college days at WVU, I was in a biology lab where we took raw beef, cooked beef and lettuce and put them in 3 separate vials and let them each sit on the desk at room temp for 24 hours. The next class we took a look under the microscope and both the meats were perfectly fine, but the lettuce had some deadly shit growing in it already. Apparently it has a lot to do with surface area. Either way, take away from this? Burger should be fine but lettuce is pretty risky(especially during a possible ecoli outbreak)
Well that sucks, because I LOVE romaine lettuce. I literally just eat it straight out of the container.
Good to know!
@@ravengatos7844 but you refrigerate it, right?
Depends on the source of the meat too. If the meat is from a single animal it's much less likely to have a disease than if they have a 2 ton vat of ground beef they use to extrude beef patties from. Best thing to do if you can afford it is buying whole cuts of cheap meat and grinding it yourself using a normal food processor. It tastes better and is safer and usually much healthier at a small cost increase.
Any difference if the vege is cook or raw???
Doctors: "Ma'am, you somehow managed to make a full recovery!"
Burger lady: "See, my dad was right!"
Spoiler alert, gosh. I'm scrolling through the comments while I watch the video.

A few weeks ago I was cleaning my espresso machine and thought "I wonder what the forbidden cold brew tastes like?" The next thought to cross my mine was "A man drank the contents of the spill tray of his espresso maker, this is what happened to his organs". I did not try the forbidden cold brew.

I've never heard the slop tray being referred to as "the forbidden cold brew", that's pretty funny!
As fragile and sensitive humans are, it's still pretty damn dope how much our bodies can regenerate and repair damage.
Unfortunately for me there are some cases where a kidney can't regain function, like when nephrons inside the kidney become scarred from high blood pressure or diabetes. Doctors will have to keep tabs on a person's eGFR (estimated Glomular Filtration Rate) to make sure a person isn't going into kidney failure. When a person does eventually go into End Stage Renal Disease, they can get dialysis to help keep the patient alive, but the longer a person remains on it, the less likely a kidney transplant will be successful. Right now in the US, 600,000 people are waiting for kidney transplants. Sadly, most will die waiting for an organ that doesn't come.

A person binge watched chubbyemu, here’s what happened to his anxiety.
She learned a valuable lesson. Stay the heck away from raw vegetables.
Great details of E.coli poisoning. Lessons learned: stay abreast of food/veggie recalls and refrigerate leftovers promptly.
The fact that it wasn't even the fact that she just leaves food out and eats it throughout the day and _next_
IT WAS THE BAD LETTUCE
*If it was uncontaminated lettuce she would have been fine*
Don't tell her, she can't keep getting away with this!
Might not have caught it in the video, but I don't recall her habit of leaving food out contributing to the incident. I'm kind of religious when it comes to covering up/refrigerating food and I caught a light case of e. coli from contaminated lettuce once. Desn't seem like different habits would have prevented what happened.
Yep
@@MrNorker77 It would have made a difference of number of bacteria. Bacteria multiple over time. She may not have had an emergency room disaster or may not have gotten to bloody stools point had she handled it differently, as Dr. Bernard mentioned most cases of E. Coli result in feeling bad for a day (up to 7 days) and moving on with life.
Her habits are what made it a dangerous hospital trip.
@@MrNorker77 I don't think the video really stated it, but here's what I think was intended. She could've gotten sick from eating the contaminated lettuce straight out of the fridge. But maybe she wouldn't have gotten that sick and might not have even gotten noticeably sick. Bacteria grow well in warm, moist environments. Putting contaminated lettuce on a burger that starts out hot and slowly cools to room temperature creates an optimal environment for the bacteria to reproduce. The longer it's left in that environment the more it will reproduce. The more there is when you ingest it, the harder it is for your immune system to successfully fight it off fast enough to avoid serious illness and possibly death.
Of course some bacteria are so dangerous that even extremely small amounts are potentially deadly. In this case, it was just a matter of there being a lot more bacteria initially than there would've been if it had all been eaten immediately or if the leftovers had been thrown out or even refrigerated. Because there was a lot more bacteria, a lot more cells were infected right away making it a lot harder on the immune system. But there's no way to say with 100% confidence that she would not have gotten just as ill if she had thrown the leftovers away. Maybe her immune system would've had a hard time fighting off this particular strain anyway, the lettuce might have been stored improperly before she bought it making it a lot more dangerous even without her eating the leftovers, etc. Just my thoughts though; I'm not a doctor or a biologist or anything.
as a nutritionist hearing someone saying that food poisonning isn't real makes my body shiver
The ignorance and curiosity kills us the most
As a food handler myself, me too!

@chubbyemu thank you that these videos have a happy ending. It would be hard to take if the patient never recovered.

Some bacteria, or the toxins they produce, aren't even killed or broken down by pressure cooking.
@@MushookieMan if the food is "spoiling" especially meats no amount of heat will help

It's insane that she would eat days old unrefridgerated food and the only time she got food poisoning was just because of contaminated lettuce
When I was a kid my dad had a similar view on food and would say people in old days survived like this and I would respond with "what was the life expectancy back then?"
of course people back then were more robust and tend to get sick lesser , but because of wars , poverty and and less medical care services , they were more death because of that , but now , dont think we are robuster than our ancestors , we have what i call "chemical crutch" , we depend on medicines and pills to extend the life expectancy , especially in westerner countries , in the same conditions , if you take two healthy man , one from back then and one from now , and tell them to exchange their place , who do you think will resist the conditions and who will fail ? no my friend , sadly , at least the westerners , are more weaker than the ancients and that's a fact !

I only eat hotdogs with an esophageal stomach dam.
I remember seeing signs up in the oncology ward of a hospital warning families not to bring homemade food to the patients. I understand their intent, but the recommendation to bring packaged treats instead was poorly timed. There were several recalls out for contaminated processed foods, and it felt like there were more every day. As family members, we were afraid to bring anything to an immunocompromised person.
Ahh yes ultra-processed foods. Kill them faster, but not TO fast.
Part of that is the level of control the care team can have over the patient’s environment. Hospital food isn’t strictly regimented, it’s not even good-the doctors’ lounges don’t get anything better, I promise you-but it is data and variables that can alter care.
Unrealistic. A pizza is gone in like 20 minutes, let alone 36 f'king hours.
It's especially sad when someone gets very sick from the part of the burger that isn't even good. It's just there to assuage guilt a little bit.
This is so crazy to me. I'm someone that has a hard time not immediately finishing anything on my plate, so to think about leaving food out overnight is such a strange concept
Right? At least cover it and put it in the fridge! I’ve had leftovers a day or so after, but never ate food left out days later.

What several of the outbreaks, involving leafy greens, had in common was the lettuce was grown downstream from intensive livestock feeding lots. Even if the livestock doesn’t have access to the canals, storms can wash the waste into the canals. Water from the canals is then used to irrigate crops spreading the particulates on the crops. Romaine Lettuce, being a loose head lettuce, is particularly susceptible for much of its leaves coming in contact with irrigation water. As the romaine is washed, more and more heads become fully contaminated. Tight heads of lettuce, such as iceberg, are less likely as the exposed outer leaves are stripped off before washing so there are far less pathogens distributed during washing. These outbreaks are identified by cooperating with health officials. Clinical samples are collected. Patients provide their food history and epidemiologists go through hundreds of interviews for a possible link. It takes coordination of city, county, state health departments and the CDC to identify the possibilities. Once possibilities are identified, FDA is brought in and begins coordinating sample collections, conducting inspections of the fields, transportation, equipment used in washing, processing and storage. State Dept of Agricultures get involved to help with the sampling. Identifying the pathogens has become much more accurate as whole genome sequencing identifies the specific sub species. It is important to report cases of food-borne illness so health officials can declare outbreaks much sooner and food is removed from shelves sooner.
Nice that was really cool to read

I used to work at a food lab. We routinely tested for 0157h7 and occasionally for Shigella. One of the issues with shigatoxin is that it's relatively heat stable; normal cooking temperatures will kill the toxin-producing bacteria, but any toxin already produced can sometimes remain active.
And anyway, who is out here cooking lettuce? Apart from the French, on occasion. Oh and that one restaurant that Gordon Ramsay lambasted for its grilled Caesar salad.

I got the worst food poisoning from prunes wrapped individually, like candies. I lay down on the bed, allowed myself to have whatever bowl movements I had to and prepared to die. It is amazing how the sweats come on in an instant. When body functions that have always been in your control, become involuntary, it is scary. I hate vomiting but the way the body works so fast and so efficiently to rid itself of the 'poison', is incredible. I never got sick from food unti that prune incident. That was in my mid-30s and I have had it 3 times, since, from various foods. One WAS Domino's pizza which had been out for no more that 4 or 5 hours...long enough, I guess, to become TOXIC! haha The 1st incident happened only an hour or so after consuming the fruit. The pizza poisoning affected me9 or 10 hours after consumption.Abdominal cramping/discomfort and a low grade headache not too long after finishing the leftovers, but the"FUN" did not start for some time.I always tried to push liquids in, even if it came ouut either end.
