"Parasites are so cool!!"
Uh-huh... sounds like something a parasite would say
A normal tech-nerd person,that's already by been taken over by some pro- microbial crazed parasitic entity.🤺🦍🐜🦟

ferretyluv I agree.
Don't even mention the History Channel.

Right, guys?

Guys?
"The trade off is that these lady bugs can heal. They can regrow their internal organs and go on with their lives".....that's not a trade off at all. A trade off would be "Oh hey I have super powers now that the parasite is gone."

No, no, you see, you get the sweet, intrinsically worthwhile experience of having been eat alive from the inside by parasites and live to tell the tale.

this guy sounds like he's really stressed out about having to say all of that in front of a live audience but at the same time he has a weird niche interest that he's SUPER passionate about and I relate to that on some spiritual level
How would you feel if parasites killed someone you loved? Or affected their brain so they could no longer think? What if your child had one that caused dementia type symptoms but didn't die, so the child didn't grow & the brain never developed so they are like a 4 yr old for the rest of their life? How would you feel spiritually then?
I ask because I am spiritual as well, & I'd like to know how you handle trauma/grief/loss as a spiritual person. Much Love

That's the Sound of the point flying way over your head.
@@julielea8344 interesting comment... studying the parasites that killed a loved one would be a long spiritual journey. the need to understand is spiritual. so is finding a cure or a way to help the infected people.
in about 3 more years this man is going to climb a giant building and release spores.
And he’ll be wearing his “I love parasites” shirt while doing it
Commissar Gamza one year to go lol
IM DEAD 😂😂
1 hour and 10 min from 3 years lol
Even creepier, instead of releasing spores he will release "knowledge".
A parasite has been injected a parasite....How ironic
Whiterun Guard Poetic justice at its finest
Now all we need is for another parasite to inject that parasite that has injected the other parasite.
PARASITECEPTION
Oh how the tables have turned
Whiterun Guard lol
It is called "parasitinception".
*sees a poor lowly ground creature creeping *
Wasps: *its free real estate*
Although my skin literally felt itchy for the entire 23 minutes of this vid - it's an amazing presentation and Anand Varma is a true professional!
Cool talk but he definitely failed in his goal of making me like parasites more. Now I think they're even more horrible.
I don't think anyone has ever liked parasites anyway
it just made me fear the outside world. I had only known about leeches and that one wasp from the movie wild wild west (newest version).
So I'm guessing the new universe you made doesn't include parasites...
homunyan yep
I don't think his goal was to make you like parasites, but to make you understand the beauty of their complexity, instead of just being grossed out.
appreciate this guy's work, mad professial
Mom I'm pregnant, a wasp bit me
John, are you smoking dank memes?! Your mother died sixty years ago!
yeah, it's an erectius dickotopus species of wasp
Ok now your scarring me.. im wondering if you can get infected my wasps
@@nightnday6675 what of you could
Cosmic Draconian I wouldnt be surprised and i would hate wasps even more than i do now
Parasites still make my skin crawl, but he did an excellent job on this.
Since I hate cockroaches, spiders & ants, this video is like therapy for me. Now I know my nightmares have nightmares of their own, and that makes me happy inside 😄
Spiders might be disgusting, but they are one of the most important animals of this planet.
Linus Linuthorax always some smart arse trying to educate me on the matter like I don't already follow National Geographic for years. I don't care, fuck off
madness3200 does knowing that you have a higher chance of being killed by a vending machine than in a shark attack make you want to go swimming with great whites? Knowing an arachnid's role in the ecosystem doesn't make them less unappealing to me. And besides, he's telling me what I already know from all my years reading & watching National Geographic. You too can fuck off
madness3200 stop projecting, and I told you to fuck off already.

And I must give a fuck on what you told me because ....?

"Sometimes I still miss her" is a great song to choose for a video about parasites. I don't know why, I just- YES.
It's official; I'm never going outside again. Damn nature, you scary!
Guy at 15:00 *_"How do I find a more interesting way to light these creatures"_*
Me: *_"Try using a flamethrower to light these creatures next time"_*
TheFelish33 I literally read that as he said it in the video.
I know it's a joke but nah😒
Lol
This is legitimately one of the coolest videos I've ever come across on CZcams. Absolutely fascinating.
This was super interesting! Makes you wonder what we don't know about the mind. I have heard that our gut bacteria control much of our behavior/urges, especially food choice.
Our microbiome also seems to control our weight. They've done studies where they remove the gut bacteria from an obese rat and a skinny rat and switch them. The obese rat becomes skinny and the skinny rat becomes obese, while they both still eat the same amount of food
@@emilyporter1186 Fascinating
This has to be one of the best docus produced in a long time, im sick of watching the mesmerize docus that only show great photography and play some awe inspiring music to dazzle there audience, yet learn almost nothing.
What ever happened to great documentary's.

This person makes me sit and he makes me want to hear his speech for 23 minutes and 27 seconds in excitements
And in horror
Really well done. You're the kind of researcher that doesn't stop until you've figured everything out, assuming you ever stop.
See, now here's the thing, I love insect normally. The only problem is, at this moment I am incredibly high and cant tell is the tingles on my skin are just me being manipulated by the thought that some of those insects might be crawling on me.. or tripping out..
...I should just not be watching this
+ZukiChaaaaan Lmao i feel the same way bud
ikr
+ZukiChaaaaan yah I feel tingles to
+ZukiChaaaaan - You should check out "A Scanner Darkly" if you haven't already read it.
+ZukiChaaaaan OR maybe you should seriously consider NOT Getting High because, I promise you, reactions like the one you are discribing only get worse !
To the people who wants you to eat crickets as a protein, show them the horsehair worm!
delicious.
Poorly cooked beef, pork, chicken, fish and lamb are just as likely to make you sick.
The difference? Insect parasites usually have a hard time in mammals. Mammalian parasites don't give a fuuuuuuuck.
Don't forget to mention sushi
That's what killed Herod Agrippa, just as he was about to proclaim himself as Messiah to the Jews (Act 12: 20-23). Watch that pig-meat...
Phane the FDA is pretty strict with stuff like that.
For some reason I feel the need to lightly scratch myself every few seconds because it feels like these things are on me :(
I love him. He has done such a brilliant job. It nauseates me but I have an appreciation. Mission accomplished
Doesnt it look all cozy in those cocoons though?

This lack of self control I fear is never ending
A tribute to Chester Benington God speed.
This just pretty much made parasites more horrifying to me. But I do appreciate and respect this mans work ethic and point of view.
“Parasite dubstep” I like it 😂
Could not be his roommate. Never know what kind of critters might be around.
spectacular photography !...
That thing on the thumbnail looks like Trumps hair move to Canada i guess
*watching this is making me itchy everywhere!!*
James Bond me too
Humans react to audio and pictures as if they are there and it is happening.
Thats what paranoia does to you mate

Excellent video! Congratulations for you all, and thank you so much to disable english subtitles,the quality and everything else.
They cut out the sound clip of some poor bastard throwing up.
It's kinda fascinating actually. If you look at it in a positive kind of perspective, it's kinda cool.
Graustreif Elvanien this is why humans are quite pathetic, lacking the insight
Kill or get killed
@@screwmuckduck8905 yet, you're human and have this insight?
In my opinion, it's fine if you use a host for a short amount of time then let it carry on with its life but killing them is a big *no no*.

Amazing! I came across the thumbnail of the vid and thought to just take a peek but i ended up watching the entire thing instead of just checking it out and studying Diencephalons for my exam next week hahaha. I'm not even into parasites but wow. Just wow.

idylle♡doll So true! Especially if you are insectophobic.
The Muffin Lord I have insectaphobia and this terrifies me. These should be made into horror movies.
Its called Entophobia not Insectaphobia lol
This was just awesome to watch this wasn't boring it was just badass to watch and learn.
Mr.Nibbles said it for me
Mr.Nibbles I'm a little freaked out but same
This is absolutely amazing. I didn't know parasites were this complex. I'm not sure if this made me like parasites more, but it definitely increased my respect for them.
It is amazing that a wasp can know, innately, how to do reach into the brain of a cockroach and do microsurgery on it's brain and paralyze it. That seems insane ! There is much more to their intelligence than we can even imagine .Mind blowing !
Ne dioo
Timon and Pumba must have been riddled with allsorts of parasites after eating all those bugs

When Crabs have Crabs
LOL
this looks like a general *PBS Eons* video's title
That's what they get for giving us crabs
Barnicles!! Spongebob makes sense, the parasites want money
That why girls get crabby, the have crabs 🤤
It's so cool and interesting..but also scary at the same time
I love photography and was Investigating about parasites, this is just awesome, many thanks, very inspiring.
I'm going to bed, fuck this.
Very fascinating. These parasite and the things they do are like straight out of a Sci-Fi horror movie...
every sci fi horror movie is ripped from nature.
This is such an incredibly fascinating and entertaining presentation. I had actually seen most of the Nat Geo stories about these scary yet extraordinary parasites and of course marvelled at the stunning imagery so to hear the story and dedication behind them is amazing.
I love the guy’s photos at the end with the dubstep music. This guy is talented
Anyone who is a fan of The Last of Us kinda knows already what cordyceps are

the terms "cool" and "terrifying" are interchangeable here

wonderful...work you have done on parasitic insects...you showed us new world.
thank you. Anand Varma.
Absolutely loved this, most interesting talk on these parasites and the pictures were stunning
The effort and time he spent on that is just amazing. You are an amazing hooman u hear? 💪👌
Probably the best presentation over parasites to show that they're actually much more intricate on the microscopic level. Impressive
i'm gonna adopt a caterpillar and protect it as my son! or daughter
Oh no, not you as well!
Ha! You idiot, you have been zombified!
And I'm going to lay eggs in your caterpillar.
the importance of what he's doing its so great i don't think many people will realise until they do
"Alien" in real life. This is a treasure trove of horror movie scenarios.
That shit was in resident evil 4
why didn`t we know this?
I have learned to appreciate the hard work behind these photographs today, my days, that's a lot of work and the level of creativity is beyond awesome.
What a research. Packed with excitement and interest it was watched without realising the passage of the time. 👍👍
Yo I remember like 6 or 8 years ago that I went the dentist and saw that exact magazine! It caught my eye immediately and I was both mortified by nature and so intrigued learning about these parasites and natural phenomenons!
Well done! Love the humor, info, the story, and progress!
Jesus, the zombie apocalypse is going to happen and this man will be too busy marveling at the zombies while everyone else is running away
i would die, from laughter, and also probably zombies because laughter isn't a good survivalist technique.
He'd keep a few zombies in his basement and feed them scraps so he could watch them.
it is really handy to know what all these parasites do, i'm getting so inspired!
and these pictures are absolutely gorgeous!
u think they are cute or beautiful. wait till they eat you
+Jason Colletti It was a joke...
donut toast who said I didn't know that... my comment was a joke to so chill
me too toast!!!!! absolutely fascinating
Please don't infect me.
Such professional, mad skills!
Anand's passion in this is very remarkable. It makes me wonder why I'd wasted my life on nonsense when this guy actually invested his in a research worth millions. I admire the mind blowing knowledge bestowed upon us he genuinely taught us. *Encore*

Found a ladybug with a cocoon under it on my property like 3 months ago
Kill it with fire
RIP lady bug
I'm glad I live in the city
Ending's pretty dope
Very fascinating and creepy! One discrepancy though with the cockroach and wasp - actually the wasp snaps off the antenna opposed to using it to drag the roach. Scientists believe it's to test the amount of poison in the system..
This is the most interesting video I've ever seen.
You dont watch out much.
I guess you learn to "like" these things is by knowing how gross, scary, and fascinating they are.
After watching this vid and writing this comment, I'm gonna go throw up and watch a kitten video or something.
Uggghhh!
just the diversity of biology. if you think about very own reproductive system it can be pretty gross too. a male pent rates a female then injects her with seeds to make a baby grow inside her then 9 months later this thing called a human baby forces it's way out of her pretty much. pretty gross right?
+supercooled Yes, bodily functions are gross, obviously, however, gross, they are fascinating just like in this vid.
The parasites are gross, certainly, but, as part of an ecosystem and nature, they are fascinating.
supercooled does a baby eat you alive from the inside?
Not "like", but appreciate diversity and complexity of life.
I hope you get toxoplasmosis
Beautifully done!!! Thanks for your efforts to show, how amazing nature is!!!!!
I find it amazing that a creature can evolve in these incredible and improbable ways. They are so specific and specialized that it is hard to understand how they evolve in these specific ways.
An excellent and important consideration/question. Thanks for posting it.
Bug babies:
Know how to control the hosts brain.
Know how to avoid vital organs in order to not kill their host and then themselves.
Know how to make protective cockuns (or however the fuck you spell it)
Know how to survive afterwards.
Human babies:
Shit themselves.
Don't know how to eat. Don't even know what is edible and what isn't.
Don't know what the hell is going on around them.
Can't go to sleep on their own.
They are always crying.
They cannot even walk from the beginning. There has to be some time before they can walk during which they cannot effectively move.
Where did we go wrong as a species......
TheLastTemplar Human babies *are* parasites. To their mothers at least.
I think this was epic! Great job dude
I honestly dont know what my reaction would be, if I was the chef and got that video in the end...
This is one of the most brilliant presentation I’ve ever seen !
This is simply amazing
Only intended to watch a couple of minutes - was so interesting watched the whole video through :-)
After this, I'm going back to watch videos about wolves.
Im gonna listen the music
What a presentation
So much value. Thank you so much for this
Amazing documentary! 👍
Very interesting...
Thank you!
shouldn't the wasp then be called "ladybug"? HAHA
I am amazed by the evolutionary implications of these creatures. Just imagine how that stinger must have evolved into feeling around the brain
Yes! Just what brain structures or other brain elements does the stinger seek? How could this ability evolve entirely by trial and error? And this was only one of several known examples of parasitic manipulation-of-host behavior!
He seems like a fun guy!
"So what do we do?"
"Bomb"...
Imagine the nightmares this dude has had. This is terrifying.
His art is something out of this world. Wow!!!
