- What actually makes you feel sick? Discover how your immune system and proteins called cytokines respond to infections.
--
It starts with a tickle in your throat that becomes a cough. Your muscles begin to ache, you grow irritable, and you lose your appetite. It’s official: you’ve got the flu. It’s logical to assume that this miserable medley of symptoms is the result of the infection coursing through your body - but is that really the case? Marco A. Sotomayor explains what’s actually making you feel sick.

Shout out to my immune system, thank you for trying to keep me alive
I have Evans syndrome, so my immune system kills itself rather than the virus usually. But ok
@@crazybrickstudios7482 Thank your long line of ancestors that had immune systems that allowed you to exist.
Didn't realize you were dead
big ups macrophages and cytokines

@@Sky-gf4wf hope you get better! Feeling sick sucks.
The way your body does all this, without us even initiating or noticing it, is just insane
Well there is a society in our body that wants to live aswell lol of course they’d protect their home

You feel awful, until you realise that you're sick on a school day
ikr
actually that makes me feel moe awful
haha
Bagas Tjahjowidodo HAHAHA SO F*CKING TRUE!
not really, that means its worse
Somebody PLEASE explain to my immune system that pollen and 'spring dust' are not dangerous!!
Anyone wanna volunteer to explain that penicillin is medicine designed to HELP?
could you tell mine that eggs are not evil!
If someone can do it, please say the same to mine!
Say to me both of those...pollen and nuts
Thank to the Lord mine learned that the cold isn't an evil from remote lands brought to freeze me.
When I get seriously ill, I become depressed.
On the other hand, I frigging love the feeling I get when I get better!
I hate it, when you come back from illness its more depressing than during it. You come back to regular life
@@shrekeyes2410 regular life feels great compared to sick life though
Same 😔 being sick is the worse feeling for me
@@_d2082 yes I am feeling awful currently i hope it gets better i don't want a awful night
Same I get really depressed then I can’t tel if I’m sick cause I’m depressed or depressed cause I’m sick
Im sick today and Im here to be grateful for my body. Man immune system rocks
So your own immune system effects you psychologically making you irritable and sad. Perhaps this is to make you steer clear of people to prevent the spread of infection?
duuuude
nice thought, mindblown
makes sense since our brains evolved to be social and cooperarative
But there is no evolutionary advantage to preventing others from getting sick unless they are blood relatives.
Amphiuma III i don't know about that. If there are more sick people, the more likely the rest are to get infected. Plus why do you say that about blood relatives. Our brains have evolved with societal cooperation in mind. Why would this way of helping others not be a thing? Not to mention evolution is simply surviving organisms passing on traits. It has nothing to do with blood relatives as such.
Anyone else watching this when they are sick?
Victoria Wheat me
me! 😷
Does having an autoimmune disfunction count? 'Cuz MS gets on my nerves. (In case you didn't gert the joke: ms is when your immune system attacks the insulation on you nerves causing signal disruptions in the body with no cure and an unknown cause ect. Ect. Ect.)

Fish Custard you're username is amazing 🔷
*3:09** amount of details in these animations is just insane.* Look closely - after our patient coughed bacteria to those three guys, it bounced out of second guy onto the first guy (meaning, immune system of the second guy is still good and able to fight) but then it bounced back to the second guy, meaning that immune system of the first guy is way stronger. On the other hand, the immune system of the third guy was the worst as both of the bacteria he took right away and nothing bounced.
And all that secret information delivered in just a second of this incredible animation, that most of the people won't even notice.
*Hats off, TED.*
The first guy even backed off after our patient coughed, the detail of this amination is top notch.
What are you talking about you nitwit. A good immune system doesn't mean the virus bounces off you like some kind of tiny pogo-stick jumping maniac, you still absorb the virus, it just doesn't do as much damage. Certainly the bacteria doesn't survey your body, and turn around if it's too harsh a landscape to look for a new home like some kind of intergalactic species searching for something resembling their homeplanet that was consumed by a nearby star years ago, god damn
@@Teh_Boi To be exact, when the narrator says "diarrhea," lol
3:08 watch in slower speed

Sometimes the day before a cold or flu starts I just feel upset, depressed and/or irritable for no reason, then the next day I get more definitive symptoms. The brain seems to be the first to know.
My brother felt really sick so he drank medicine one night. He was so tired,sick and drugged that he wrote a goodbye letter because he thought he was dying. He woke up the next day and found the letter 😂
Lol
5 years later
Haha this made me laugh while feeling sick in bed, thanks
Also I wonder what the letter said
Herpes is not a death sentence just like it is not the end of the world. It has a complete cure. I recently got rid of both my hsv1 and hsv2 within just seven days on youtube by HERBALIST DOCTOR KINGSLEY. I’m so happy right now.
😂😂😂😂
I wonder if the irritability is a tribal survival mechanism to make other people avoid you, so the infection doesn't spread.
+Shawn Ravenfire Or it's just people being irritated because they want to do something against being in pain, and not able to do anything about it. People are generally like that, if they know what to do to make themselves feel better, they pull themselves together and focus on doing that, if not, they wish they did and start to hate everything around them.
i think is even more primitive, it may be about being more agressive so that predators dont single you out for being ill and eat you
Bob is sick!!!!! Maday!Maday!
I'd conjecture that it's mostly just the unpleasantness of feeling ill. Any kind of stress tends to make us more irritable, and a constant bombardment with unpleasant stimuli is _definitely_ stressful. If that ended up being an evolutionary advantage on top, I doubt it'd be that big of one. You could be right though!
Oh wow very interesting theory
Lighting a candle for everyone out there living with autoimmune and\or mystery disease.
Yes. My poor wife has lupus. It took us a few heartaches to know.. every time she got pregnant her body would attack the poor baby.. she had 5 miscarriages...
But here we are 10 years later with 10,8, and 5 year old! Drs were able to aid her

Body: Makes body temperature high
Doctors: ok so take take this and ur not gonna feel hot
Body: *Am I a joke to you?*
TCO Gaming no offence but the reason the body temperature goes down again after taking the medication is because the disease or sickness is goneeee ;)
@@evek5019 things like ibuprofen dont do anything but cool you down or make the pain go away, it doesnt actually cure anything.
@@evek5019 No the medication just lowers ur temperature, it has no effect on the illness. The medication for fever is just for comfort.

3:13 your reduced thirst makes you mildly dehydrated, diminishing the spread of diseases through sneezing, coughing, vomiting, or *diarrhea*
*takes step back*
ToastyAstronaut that was hilarious
ToastyAstronaut right because everyone goes through infected diarrhoea
I was looking to see who would point that out😂
I stopped watching the video after that and started looking for this comment...now I shall resume watching in peace

Que that one oh no song start up
Why is this so intresting i cant even get through a math lesson without yawning but when im watching this im writing notes and stuff...So confused
Because you find this interesting and aren't forced to do it, also animations make everything better
Makes since thxs
It uses more senses than regular old text books, so that's a plus. It also visualizes the topics in a way that is most appealing and easy to wrap your head around rather than accurate. The presenter and the presentation are also paced in a way that keeps your attention up which is something that, sadly, only few teachers know how to do. It also reduces the topic down to its most important parts without handling the basics of the topic, which most of the time constitutes the boring shit you have to repeat all the time in order to remember.
So, what these presentations do is reduce the topic to the things that are most interesting and important about it, which enables you to learn the most fascinating things about science without having to get through the boring shit needed to actually get to the conclusion yourself.
This makes it possible for these neat little videos to achieve what many education systems around the world sadly do not, which is make education fun and show how fascinating the things education gets us to knowing can be.
Just my two cents.
I think that it's also because, since you're doing this of your own choice, you become more invested in what's happening. I'd guess that's also why jobs become less fun even if it's regarding something you love to do.
Let's say you're an artist who loves to paint who sells paintings for a living. However, after a while of doing that as a job, you don't find painting as enjoyable as it was before. Even though it's a thing that you used to love doing, being technically forced to do it all the time dampens the enjoyment in the activity. However, that doesn't happen when you're not painting as a job, even though you might technically be doing it for the same length of time. Not to mention the ability to freely take a break whenever you feel like it isn't really allowed in a job much (especially not in an art-related job where you essentially need to make things 24/7 to scrape by if you're a normal person).
Basically, having to do stuff makes that stuff less enjoyable, even if doing it of your own choice results in you spending the same or greater amount of time doing that stuff.
Nightcore Fan its because you prefer usefull information you will actualy use in life unlike algebra knowing this may actualy help you in life.(sorry about speling im too ill to care).

Did Prince leave one ? i'm sick in both senses.
my sick comrades. Nice to see you all. hope you all get better soon.
And then there's me with a chronic autoimmune disease and my normal is what other people call a flu. My bad days were compared to the incapacity of a cancer patient. 🌟 If I ever get better I'll be the most chipper person simply for feeling well. I don't even remember what "well" feels like anymore.
Same here!Please God we will have good health soon❤
I get what you mean :( I hope you get to experience wellness one day soon 🫶
My son who is 7 years old woke up today feeling unwell 🤒 so I looked up this video and tried to help him understand what was going on in his body.

He wouldn't get sick if you got him vaccinated.
I have a cough and when he was explaining that your body aches are due to your body fighting off the infection, My body started to ache. Then I laid down and thought, “Do your thing, body. You’ve got this! 😼”

I contracted a parasite from the Rosemont MovieCo theatre in Illinois in 2007 and almost died from dehydration. I couldn't keep ANYTHING in so I just lay on the couch until suddenly I went weak and my instincts kicked in and I crawled on my hands and knees to the bathroom and drank out of the sink sip by sip until I could stand.
I went from "I just feel really bad" to my brain screaming at me "You're about to die! GO!!"
It was an interesting experience.
Can you tell more about how you contracted a parasite at a theatre?
The parasite was controlling your brain, it made you drink from the sink.
Wow that’s my theatre right there!! I know they closed it down and AMC took over
@@JeremyB1039 probably from the parasitic infection
This just opened my eyes to how complex we are. I am thankful for my body💜
I've never been this sick before from the flu. I got a flu shot on Tuesday and felt bad for 2 days but I felt okay the next day. However, the after that I started coughing, spiked a fever, muscle aches, and headache. It's been over a week now and I'm so fatigued and am still coughing.
Must have been a different strain.
takes a couple weeks before the shot is effective.
It always start with a cough. Man i feel the same since Monday. What amazed me in all of these symptoms is the lack of appetite. Since it does hit me i feel lazy and get tired quickly. The only difference between you and i is that I’ve not taken the flu shot.
There's your answer - my Mum was effectively dead 50mins after a flu shot. No pulse, no breathing. Fortunately Paramedics were in the next street and revived her. A week in hospital.
I too am the sickest I've ever been for the longest period of time with this flu. Slowly, slowly going but only after 2+ weeks. I have the flu shot every year, so god knows what this would have been like without it.
That one step backward at "diarrhea" at 3:18 is just the best.

I have rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune disease and during a flare it feels VERY similar to the flu. Whenever I try to explain the feeling of a flare (besides the painful swollen joints) i say it’s like the worst flu you’ve ever had. Shoutout to modern medicine for all the treatments!

watching this because i'm sick for the first time in almost three years :(
My theory; we feel awful when we are sick to not only aid in eliminating bacteria/viruses but also so we KNOW we are sick and something is wrong and can go lay down and help our body with medicines/water, also so others know we are sick and will be careful not to get affected as well.
Or life gives up on you for a while.

Shoutout to my immune system, it's constantly in a panic and continuously attacking my thyroid for no reason other than "hmm... this looks suspicious". Thanks Hashimoto's disease
There is a theory that this is due to viruses remaining in the thyroid even after the body has eliminated them elsewhere - general disruption of the nervous system due to chronic or acute stress can also play a part. Your body is trying its best.
i'm really sick atm...sucks that i slept almost more than half of the day and didn't study;( truthfully i don't even need to this much sleep usually, im off just fine on max 6hrs sleep and minimum 2hrs sleep... sigh. i just hope that i and everybody suffering from this feel better soon
i hope you’re getting better!! :-( i know how it feels, but your body needs rest! do not worry about studying and take time to relax. i know how hard it can be when u realize you aren’t studying, but your mental and physical health is MUCH more important!!! stay warm and take care!! 😊
There's a war going on inside
Macrophages be like "SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

I lost a friend who had autoimmune disease. For years upon years doctors thought that he had kidney problems that comes and go away. He only had several months to live after he finally found out about his disease. It hasn't been studied and applied well in my country. If it had, maybe the disease could be diagnosed sooner and my friend could still be here.
it’s been 3 years and i’m your first like. Rest in peace to your friend.
Rest in peace

Good video. "It'll wipe out the infection before you even notice it." Tune up your symptom detector. As a middle school teacher I got really fed up with being sick at least twice a year from infected germy kids. I instituted COVID level cleanliness procedures (5 years before COVID): Clorox wipes of all surfaces in my class, and then whenever I even thought about it, I'd again wipe down desktops, chair backs and sides (where people touch them), etc. I put a two liter bottle of Purell on my desk and encouraged students to use it. Sick kids I sent to the nurse (on the one day a week she was there) or the office. They'd send them back. And I'd send them back again.
But THIS is the big step. While creating lessons on how to tell the difference between flu, colds, allergies, etc. I realized that when I got hammered with the flu I'd woken up that morning and had the thought, "I might be coming down with something, I'd better take it easy." And then at some point during the day flu hit me like a truck. So in the morning instead of my energy level continually rising, it starts to taper off? I call in sick and go back to bed for the rest of the day. The first time I did this I felt like a complete flake - I didn't feel at all sick. But that night I started to get the flu headache. _Uh oh, here it comes._ Nope. Next day I woke up feeling great. I'd just beaten the flu. (Because I have asthma usually when I got the flu I'd have it for about four days and then secondary problems for another week or two.) In Hong Kong February 2020, at the beginning of COVID I had one of those experiences, but in the evening. My temperature was up, it didn't feel like anything I'd ever experienced (two sort of 'knots' on both sides of my chest). Same thing, go to bed. All the symptoms, feelings? were completely gone at 1-2am when I got up to pee. 6 weeks ago I did this again, had to skip a class I'd paid $200 for. Better safe than sorry. Next day, felt great. Hope this helps.
Great points and I'll echo that: be aware of your condition, listen to your body and watch out for early symptoms. Sometimes I'm feeling a bit "off" and YES, it is always worth taking it easy, and staying home if you think you're getting sick. Cancelling your other plans and resting in bed not only can prevent sickness, but imagine if you were about to go to school, or the office, or to see friends ... you might be infecting them!!
It's smart to stay home when you're feeling sick or when you feel like it's coming.

It draws attention to infected cuts. Shows a picture of someones head beeing split almost in half. I darf to say that at that point a Virus infection might be the least of your concernes.
I returned to this video 'cause I got sick. I need to console myself that my body is working in its peak performance.
1:20 That sad wall socket.
Up if you watch this when sick
what's up?
Up.
up
Down
Zucchini!
Wow, our bodies are truly amazing things
Thank you for the precious information. It felt good watching this while having a flu. Much love from India.
I love this thank you! With panic disorder this helps me when I'm sick and just learned it can mess with serotonin levels.
You: Man I'm feeling sick gonna go lie down.
Hypothalamus: WE ARE GOING TO WAR, BOYS!
My parents actually told me as a child/teenager, not to take things like ibuprofen if my temperature doesn't rise higher than 39,5°C (everything above is okay for a few hours, but id it doesn't stop by itself I should intervene). This ensures my body "cooks" all the bad things in me like harmful viruses and bacteria to death so I don't have to suffer too long with that cold.
Yes, great advice. People drink far too much medicine far too easily (forgetting meds have side effects and health risks too). And with the flu, those meds are just treating symptoms in the first place. There aren't any meds to eliminate the virus. Only your immune system can do that so it's important to rest.
So then, why do I feel awful when I’m not sick?

Medieval doctors: *i told you spilling your blood out would work*
is it possible to give AK-47 to my immune system to help them win the battle?
The it's more likely to work like auto-immune disease since your body will be caught in crossfire with AK-47 bullets all over your body lol
Nah, it is too big. But if you make tiny robots holding tiny AK-47 and put them into your blood, this may work
They already have a better ak-47 , its called antibodies , the last line of defense. Although you can give them nukes tho , its called antibiotik , but it also kills some of your comrade .
In America immune systems have AR-15’s. To fight those terrorist viral invaders.
The incorrect grammar posed in your question made it funnier to read. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I always assumed it was the germs and bacteria ravaging my body.
Watching this as I’m fighting off Covid 💀
Same
What’s it like guys ?
poopchute 92 it’s not bad it’s overblown

The animation alone helped my kids understand how dis-ease works. Thank you!!!
It is astonishing how well our bodies can fight infections
I'm here obsessed over a guy deeped in depression my whole life and my body has been doing this the whole time? Wow, truly amazing
