taco good 🌮
Yum
sometimes
Truck goodur
Yes
Not pork though
I love the way moustache truck man gives him an evil look after giving him the taco like he's deliberately making people seriously ill 😂. He is in league with the tapeworms. 😈
Just feeling a little devious 😈
That sounds ridiculous, until you recall that several types of parasites can indeed control the brains and behavior of their hosts.
lol it’s true
That's because the tapeworms were fully controlling his body. The guy was actually an engineer before he got infected, but the tapeworms forced him to change careers to infect as many people as possible.
@@Shawn_Babcock we do a little trolling
As a single person living alone, I can't afford to eat gas station sushi or from sketchy food trucks. If I pass out for a while in the bathroom, that's it for me. Gotta be careful.
trying to be progressive and inclusive at the expense of your own health and wellbeing is essentially the modern liberal experience. there's a reason they're illegal. they can't pass sanitation standards
AMERICA
The irony is that these people survive to pass on their genes, because cooperation trumps paranoia 😁
@@lisajohnson5516what do you mean
@@lisajohnson5516 If you get a tape worm infection from eating food from a food truck, and other people also get tape form from the food truck.
And someone tells you that there is ass sweat in the food.
it is not paranoia to not eat the food.
I love how every time you described the guy's bowel movements, you added a shot of a can of tunafish, because i really needed help imagining poop with "chunks of undigested tuna meat" in it. Thank you.
SERIOUSLY EVERYTIME HE MENTIONED IT AND SHOWED THE PICTURE OF THE TUNA I GOT SO FUCKIN SICK 😭😭😭
Guess what I'm not eating for a while. 😂
you made me lol 😂 😂😂 so hard
😂😂
right I wanna throw up 😂
No more Tuna for me lol
"Oh, you have a fever? Probably allergies."
Bro.
Revoke his medical license fr.
He just wanted to move to next patient and charge the insurance❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ fuck 30% of doctors out there
This is very common but if you think u have parasites they call u crazy
In my experience, I get feverish when I have allergy attacks, so that's not too far fetched for me 😅 but maybe it's just a me thing, Idk I'm no doctor, just someone who suffers every spring 😂
@@feathers8233yea no this can happen for sure especially on REALLY bad days but idk that I would say it's a common thing for anyone without moderate to severe allergies.
Sadly some doctors are like this.
I like how, after feeling weird ever since he ate there, and hearing about the weird rumors and MULTIPLE other coworkers feeling weird after eating there...
He decided he should go to that truck again.
Never underestimate the impact of a good 🌮
those tacos must have been sooo good
I mean... good fúd is hard to come by...
Worms made him go back to pick up their relatives
This man has no survival instincts
Eating pork tacos from an illegal foodtduck is tight. Making a full recovery from brain shut down is super easy, barely an inconvenience… he thought.
So you got a movie for me?
Yes sir I do!
I would love a ryan george and chubbyemu crossover
Wow!!! Wow! Wow. wow...
@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 so what happens in this thing
Yeahyeahyeah!
The fact that he ate the taco truck again my reaction was “then that guy was an idiot” it makes sense on why they have to have a license and inspection to sell food in New York City alone
Being sick isn't proof, tho. Can be right away or WEEKS later you get sick with different kinds of food issues.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 that part is also true. I remember eating some thing that went bad and I didn’t start getting sick till about a week later.
I love how quick doctors are to say it's allergies. I went to urgent care cuz my eyes had swollen shut. I had to hold my eye open to drive just for the doctor at Urgent care to tell me that it was allergies. I was experiencing anaphylaxis. It just hadn't spread to my throat yet. Still to this day no idea what caused it. Don't know if it was something I ate or if it's just something I'm allergic to in the air (betting the later), but it caused a severe allergic reaction and all they did was label It as allergies and told me, "you're good to go, just take allergy meds" as if I hadnt taken multiple different types and none of them worked so thats why i went to urgent care, They never even gave me anything for my allergies so they didn't even give me anything to possibly treat what was causing it. And I told them that I can't even go to work or classes and I am in college. I couldn't see at all. Unless i physically opened my eye with my fingers and it was extremely painful.
Before anybody asks it was not pink eye and it was not an eye infection because they gave me nothing and it eventually just went away as winter came. And it wasn't just my eyes that were swollen shut my nose swelled up. My cheeks had swollen up and parts of my forehead were swelling up as well. My eyes were incredibly itchy along with the rest of my skin on my face and I literally could not sleep. It was getting really hard to eat food because it was hurting to open and close my mouth. My eyes were swollen shut for several weeks. Once the swelling started to go down I developed permanent wrinkles from how poofy my face had gotten and having nothing to get the swelling to go down. I looked like a 20 year old that had done meth a couple times with how much i aged based on before and after photos.
Funny part is I was going to school to become a doctor. Because of all these experiences I've had with doctors, I decided not even going to touch the medical field for career. Instead I double majored and now I'm going with environmental engineering. Less gaslighting.
Another sidebar I went to an allergist about a year after because that's how long it took for my insurance to find me one and the allergist was baffled that they didn't stick me with an EpiPen at the urgent care because if I had gone home and ☠️ it would have been their negligence. I don't even know how many kinds of allergy meds I took or the sheer amount of each one I took. Eventually after dosing myself up so much with the allergy meds, the itching eventually stopped, but the swelling stayed until winter.
I hope you continues to find out what causes the swollen. Sounds horrible that the Dr just dismissed it as Allergies and yes that sounds like what usually assume without researching. They should do blood test instead. Glad it went away. Hope you don't experience it again.
Kinda late, but did you do any physical activity before that breakout of symptoms?
As someone with no allergy history, suddenly at 27yo, I experienced a few bizzare cases of sudden severe allergy symptoms following physical activities.
I would break out into hives, welts, swollen face, puffy eyes, severe itching all over, swollen throat.
After a few ER visits and an allergist visit, I was prescribed 2 epipens and my episodes were diagnosed as exercise induced anaphylaxis. There were no common allergens I tested allergic to.
I'm 32 now, and still carry the epipens, loratadine, diphenhydramine, and ranitidine.
I hope you find the answers to your mystery one day. Thought I'd share my experience so you could compare and see if it may be the same thing. GL!
I remember seeing a doctor and they assumed I had a sinus infection, but 2 days later I ended up learning it was a really bad pneumonia infection. Missed a school week due to that shit
Some drs are just weirdly not into doing their jobs. I had a visible deformity that a dr insisted was nothing, then growing pains, then it was I dont exercise enough, and finally it was my fault cause I sat weird. Just accepted that I would be taking tylenol everyday of my life, couldnt run how other people did, and sometimes I couldnt go up stairs my knees would hurt so much. Changed drs cause of insurance, that dr took one look at my weird legs and sent me to a specialist where I got three major surgeries to make my legs useable. Also, on a petty note, the weird way I sat was in fact the only direction my legs could bend.
I’m sad you didn’t stick with it since we need more doctors who really truly care and work gaslight! But! I’m glad you’re doing something that’s probably better for your mental health. I had something similar ish happen and was told it was allergies. It was actually my thyroid swelling up, possibly from Hashimotos. The doctor that had said allergies seemed to really dislike cats and kept insisting I was allergic to my cats for 1 week out of the whole year lmfao
Not only is Moustache Guy running an illegal food truck, he's also running an unlicensed medical practice!
Nevermind wrong person

This kind of story makes me grateful for food safety regulations. I feel like that's something we take for granted nowadays
But youll eat mcdonalds anyday of the week😂
@@jean-pierresteenbergbro that shit nasty either way
nah, those turban heads and ninjas are nasty tho
Yeah I don't eat meat anymore. If it's not t.solium it could be a spontaneous mutation of the PRNP gene of the cow you're eating (you'll die of vCJD in this case eventually because of PRPsc proteins) . There was a BSE case in the Netherlands not too long ago, so this is a real and persistent danger. (I don't want to know how many people diagnosed with CJD actually have vCJD because the symptoms are identical, cows are slaughtered before you even have the chance for a save diagnosis, (long incubation times) and animals can now be fed with other animals again... (at least in Europe) It's only a matter of time until the pig version PSE will effect humans as well...
@@jean-pierresteenbergpork is the worst meat out there though. Beef tastes better, chicken is more sustainable and leaner, and fish is healthier.
I have a degree in parasitology and as soon as I read the title I knew exactly where this is going. However, I'd like to say that the source of the cysts didn't have to be the ass-scratching cook... I find it much more probable that it was an auto-infection from the patient's own feces. This is how most cases of cysticercosis happen - that's why it is always dangerous to catch T. solium, even though the taeniosis (having the adult worm in your gut) itself has mild symptoms. One doesn't have to be some disgusting pig (no pun intended) to get their hands, and subsequently food, contaminated by their own feces. We come to contact with it every day after all.
👏
One word...."bidet".... Why North Americans are so against them is beyond me.
Thank you Miss learned more from your comment than from the video.
let`s be honest , THAT VIDEO WAS REACHING, TRYING FTO SELL THAT GOD AWEFUL BOX OF SPRAYED GMO FOOD
no but who comes in direct contact with their feces daily
My kitten had a similar story of sorts. She started to develop seizures not long after I adopted her and where she also has cerebellar hypoplasia it was suspected that they were an unfortunate side effect so she began treatment of phenobarbital which eventually included gabapentin as they were still happening. She was not too thrilled about it especially since it didn't seem to really help.
Then, another late night where I had to bring her in to emerge (and gently hitting a deer along the way), the vet asked what her history was prior to being adopted at which point I said she and her brothers were outdoor strays but is now strictly indoors. Once the seizures subsided not long after being directly injected with phenobarb, she grabbed a box of Profender and applied the topical solution while explaining that this is something not often seen which is why it was likely misdiagnosed and how a parasitic tapeworm infection of the brain is possible under certain circumstances. One of the two active ingredients in Profender is praziquantel.
Spent about $1200 in total in emerge visits and medication to find out a $15 injection was all she needed.
Worth every cent and the deer was okay.
I had a cat that also had tapeworms. The vet gave us some medicine that made the tapeworms detach from her colon. She excreted about three tapeworms.
I'm a doctor from Thailand, one of the countries with the endemic disease. The moment I see the video name I immediately know what it is.But If you live in a first world country, it's not hard for a general physician to not think of it as a first diagnosis. The disease itself can manifest in many forms as the video said. If any of you would travel to a part of the world where cysticercosis is still a problem, I would recommend you to eat from a clean restaurant and fully cooked meat.
I never knew this could be a thing to think about. I'll remember this information for the future, brrrr
Thank you for the info! 😊🎉
Excellent advice. Thank you, doctor.
Guess I'll try to cook my own food if I can
Imagine my surprise when I see that the country I've just visited for three weeks is on the list of Taenia endemic.
Good thing that it was a mostly muslim country and pork was very hard to find. And I should be also out of risk because I only dined in non-cheap and expensive restaurants.
Man, I was getting worried with all the brain cysts. Good to know he made a full recovery.
He was very fortunate. Tonic clonic seizures alone have the potential to cause serious brain damage or death.
@@LadyLahdeedah I know. I was expecting "a recovery" at best.
I prefer watching the ones that have a full recovery. The body is an amazing thing
he didnt, he has brain cysts
Same!!!
I keep losing track in the video because my mind just jibbers over and over, "He only has little bits of sideburn, why would he keep just those tiny bits? Why would he shave everything but that?"
The truck driver had to 1) buy infected meat 2) undercook it 3) contaminate it with his own infection. That's a lot of bad luck for the buying guy.
I really appreciate the actors, settings, and camera work that makes this story feel more real. Chubbyemu's second channel Big Emus really widened my perspective for how much work went into these videos.
I didn’t know Chubby had a second channel !
He has three channels. “Heme Review” is the third one - it’s his “serious”/academic channel, where he talks about the same topics as the ones uploaded here, but without the memes.
@@misstinahamilton5714 he has two other channels

Awesome effort and talent
how this man has a full job as a doctor and makes stellar medical videos as a hobby is mind boggling. especially since these videos have really stepped up since the beginning.
I think we know where his passion lies. And I love every learning minute he's willing to make.
I remember thinking he just uses stock footage, it turns out he hires actors and directs the filming himself
@@f3rny_66yeah same, I wondered how he found the incredibly specific stockfootage, and him hiring actors made a lot more sense when I found out
He is a doctor, but a PhD one, rather than MD, as far as I understand - pharmacology and toxicology. It's a more academic role, rather than one that has contact with patients. However, not saying that to take away from your awe! I'm amazed that *anyone* with a full time job can put videos of this quality together.
@@Rebsterhaha
its funny because here in hawaii theres what we call the "manapua man", where most people are supposed to avoid white vans handing out candy, our sketchy white van is the locals favorite. manapua is local delicacy and the manapua man sells just that along with other treats and goods. however everywhere else in the world is probably not the brightest idea to approach or purchase from an unmarked white van/foodtruck
He had every opportunity to kick his ass but decided to order more tacos🤦😂🤣🌮
The tacos already took control of his brain
The guy playing the food truck operator deserves a raise
Yes, I particularly liked the grubby hat and apron, nice touch!😂
Let's skip the food ads plz
It was racist
@@Actually_Woke_6277 well a white taco man?? oh hell nah 😂😂😂
He also played the doctor
My ex husband was a pathologist. He liked to entertain me, especially at mealtimes, by recounting some of his most interesting autopsies. On one occasion, a group of friends went hunting, killed a wild pig, roasted it, but ate the meat rare, since it was getting late and they were hungry. Several of them died.
OMG my mom recounted stories of her youth when she went to her grandparents house with her cousins who hunted. They got a deer and it had so many worms in its poor liver.
I'm an RN who hasn't (thankfully) come across any helminths and hope I never will. They make my skin crawl!
They call it pork but it could be dog meat. You never know. 😵😩😖
@@catatetherat5138 those hunters had personally shot the pig earlier in the day. It was not a dog.
@@Elizabeth-lb2jf I still won't eat at a food truck never. 😖
Insane!
This happened to my son's father. He ate street tacos in Mexico and had Neurocystercercosis which is the tapeworms in his brain. He almost died and has a shunt in his brain with fluid on his brain for the rest of his life.
Im sorry this happened you thats scary😥
You just convinced my promise to myself to never visit Mexico 😱🤯🤢
My mom cooked me steak and it already had season in the meat and my mom cooked the meat really good but then I start to shiver and I had a stacks of blankets on me and I was still cold I had a sore throat my sister thought it was a stomach bug but i thought it was something else
Excellent description of what could happen. Wow. Thank you for the PSA
I laughed so hard when I saw Food Truck Guy was also the doctor, well played
Perfect business model😂
Play both sides so you always win
He survived taking 35 grams of caffeine, then died after injecting himself with a massive dose of antibiotics, only to both operate an illegal food truck _and_ work as a doctor. Incredible.
Based on the cast list in the description, I think those guys were played by brothers? They sure looked enough alike!
"Listen as your doctor I'm gonna be straight with you, you're probably deficient in a rare nutrient only present in pork"
I love that you made sure multiple times to inform your viewers that this was not a "Food Truck" problem, but an *Illegal, Unregulated Food* problem, and that in many cases, food trucks are in fact MORE regulated.
EDIT: BOY, am I getting a lot of weird replies here lol
You really love it?

really like how you broke down the medical terms so we could better understand! subscribed, you are a great narrator!
Thank you for the class!
In 2001 I was victim of this same case while living abroad after eating undercooked pork infected with this parasite 6 months prior to the event. I experienced all symptoms described in the video. I experienced seizures which took me to the emergency room and recovered hours later; subsequently, later that night I experienced further seizures, which landed me in a coma for about nine months.
This event had life-changing consequences in my life as I’ve developed multiple neurological issues that has affected me ever since, and had to learn how to live with.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this, and though it is not common in the United States for this to happen, it is something that happens often and third world countries and other developing nations.
Thank you, sure hope your redesigned life is going smoothly and well for you...!
Amen 🙏
Allah says don't eat pork for a reason
@@Hunredbandzmy brother in Christ, cattle also spread similar diseases, if not more.
Wow, glad you recovered. I live in nth east Thailand and was just wondering why I have never heard of this here...then I remembered people just suddenly get sick and die quickly here and it's not like a hospital would do an autopsy, if you ask why the die people just say he got sick and died so maybe I have always been around it....
Suddenly I feel lucky I have lived my life vegan .
My little cousin had the exact same thing when he was a child. Nearly died, managed to somehow survive with some vision loss. He'll be visually impaired for life, but man, the whole time he was in the hospital, the entire family was panicking. He was only around 7 or 8 years old, and nobody knew what to do or how/where he got it. By the time I heard about it myself, he had collapsed and was brought over from the countryside to the city where I live. Thank you for discussing cysticercosis! Not many people know about it until it's too late.
What a horrible experience for you all. Glad he made a recovery and is still here with us!
America?
@@Boulders911what does America have to do with anything? Wether it’s there or not doesn’t affect anything. Tons of states are requiring licenses for food trucks and everywhere you have to be flown to a bigger city for better medical help
@@Steve.._. wow you really took a basic question personally.
@@Steve.._.i think they asked that bc there’s so many restrictions in america that it should be highly unlikely
I love how the medical language has (more or less) subtle hints at the end of these videos.
"Made A recovery", "Made a FULL recovery", "APPEARED he made a full recovery"
As a german, videos like these make me appreciate our strict meat standards even more. Gotta get a myself a Mettbrötchen today (bread roll with raw pork and onions).
Making the Physician also the food truck owner was a stroke of economic and comedic genius

That's incredible that you can have that much happening inside your brain and still make a full recovery with just the right medicine and no surgery needed. Great work from the doctors!
Brains can be surprisingly flexible and durable
Ikr the medical nowadays is truly spectacular
Brain is surprisingly adaptable, morphologically.
@@chazzy_mitch Well it depends. Strokes can be devastating and lethal, but if only a small region of the brain is effected, sometimes the patient bounces back surprisingly well then too,especially if the patient's young.
A friend of mine from highschool had one when they were in junior high (likely due to a perfect storm mix of having chronic migraine - which increases stroke risk - being out in direct sunlight in Texas in summer, guzzling several Monster energy drinks in rapid succession, and having a pre-existing heart problem) and made it through pretty much completely fine other than losing the ability to percieve certain "rotten" type smells - the rest of their sense of smell works fine, just that specific range is difficult for them to percieve now.
One of my uncles also had one a few years ago, and because it was pretty mild and he got treated quickly, he was in pretty good shape and complaining about the hospital wanting to keep him for observation just a few days later because he wanted to get back to working on the hot-rod tractor he was helping my other uncle build, and he was in his in his early 70s at the time.
Sometimes the brain is quite resistant, other times...*trips* *bonk* *dies*
Smooth transition to your sponsors ad! This video makes me never want to eat out ever again, and just cook my own meals forever...except Angie Burger, of course!

When your sketchy food truck vendor is also your doctor, you know you're bang in trouble.
In the description they have different names so i Think theyre brothers but thats still quite a buissness! One makes you sick and one makes you healthy
Reminds me of this one exterminator I knew. He would feed rats in the public parks slices of pizza and other food stuff until they got big enough to fill a dumpster then he would take a picture of them and ask the city for money to kill them.
the man even out did the undertaker/headhunter combo
Out of luck, I found my self in a food safety course for work in a restaurant... Fortunately the course was reasonably short and it taught me a lifetime of how to handle food safely, respect temperature and food prep area and most of all... ALL THE POTENTIAL ILLNESSES!!!
It's a course that should be taught in High School. It's just as important as health or science class!!!
Yeah I've had to do a few different ones over the course of my career, and you learn some really important stuff that most people don't even think about. Things like how long at room temperature things can be before bacteria start to multiply to dangerous levels, and the maximum temp your fridge and freezer should be at, in a time when everyone is trying to save money on electricity. etc. etc.
If you study enough biology, specifically microbiology and biochemistry, you're indirectly studying food safety
@@alienvomitsex yep, you lean a ton of micro biology in the more indepth food safty courses!
@@alienvomitsex Depends on a person's common sense. You'd be shocked at how bad some people are at drawing connections between academic theory and every day real life implications.
Most of it is common sense though, like wash your hands before you touch food, wash them after you touch anything raw don't touch your a hole, and then the food after, anything smell or look off throw it out, like it's not difficult to not mix raw with cooked food, store them separately, I think for most of it if you NEED someone to tell you not to do it that means you are quite stupid.
Great video! Very educational and interesting. Thank you very much!
Really enjoyed this😊 I learnt something new❤
I've worked in a food truck for 3 years, and the sanitation standards are ridiculously high. Beyond most fast food or even local restaurant standards. Health departments love to target us and fine us tons if we have any violations.
Meanwhile pizza hut employees be touching the pizzas with their barehands to adjust it (i work there).
The government only enforces the law on poor people. Not billion dollar corporations
This town had an anomaly.
honestly we're blessed they do though or this would be common

As a RN n former ER\trauma 1 nurse i found this fascinating. Quick story..my kids dad grew up really poor in the mountains of puerto rico ..they had no running water for years. They would boil it from the rivers n had outhouses etc. He got cancer in 2016 had chemo n eventually went into remission. Almost 1yr to the day of completing chemo he had a seizure out of no where. They originally thought the cancer had returned n went to the brain but after tests n a brain biopsy they discovered toxoplasmosis. They said he prob gotten it as a child from the dirty water, undercooked meat or contact with feces from the outhouses etc. But bc he had a healthy immune system it was dormant n he was asymptomatic. However since the chemo had lowered his immune response it attacked. He was on antibiotics n antiparasitics n anti seizure meds for awhile n eventually made a full recovery!
Amazing! God bless!
God bless both of you, wow!
I am an RN, also. It must have been so difficult to go through such a difficult time. I'm so thankful he persevered & recovered. It's disturbing that there have been well done research studies via human trials, which confirm parasites can 100% cause cancer. However, these imperative studies are not discussed or taught near as often as they shld be. Sharing his story is appreciated & I have no doubt it will help others. Thank you very much.
I was worried but glad to hear he made a recovery
Wow what story. I'm so glad he survived.
That's funny the taco truck owner became his doctor 😂😂😆 Oh shit. I'm in tears. Love the super Nintendo music playing in the background while talking about him getting sick. Noice
What an exquisite detail, that the food truck man and the doctor are the same person.
This may be one of the most horrifying Chubbyemu videos yet. The fact that the effects went on for MONTHS. Even the thought of parasites makes me cringe, and this one can cross into the brain... Amazing that the patient made a full recovery. Powerful medication
Funny. If you ever learned what eating ANY dead bodies/meat and dairy did to your brain or entire body, you'd prob suicide as you don't have the mental fortitude to change your eating habits permanently and go vegan to save your own life.
Patients almost always make a full recovery in his videos. I think many of them actually die but he wants to keep PG.
I was thinking the same thing.. During this whole video my brain was meming "The virgin true crime watcher vs The chad Chubbyemu watcher"
@@mesa9724it's either that or the dreaded "*A* recovery." Knowing that these stories are extrapolated from actual cases makes it pretty freaky, and sometimes he'll play it straight and tell you that such a condition left them with aftereffects for life!
@mesa9724 no, he'll say when they die. "At autopsy, doctors found..."
Dang! I once went with my boss to buy supplies for the cafe and we found a lady parked in her driveway next to her house selling tamales from her car. They were so good! Glad we’re still alive!
Those are cooked double so the risk would be very low. I wouldn't trust raw oysters even from a restaurant though.
don´t worry if the tamal has the right consistency the first time you bite it, it has been cooked correctly and it is even safer than eating a salad given how easy it is for it to not be disinfected the right way. The real trouble comes with food you can´t tell until your stomach tries to digest it.
Someone selling out of/next to their house is so much less sketchy than a truck in a partially hidden location
Those are the BEST tamales!
This is not a practice we have in Europe (afaik), but I know in some cultural segments in America, local grandmas or aunties run these household cookeries as unprofessional business.
These cookeries aren’t run by cutthroat fraudsters, they’re run largely as a form of community service. These communities don’t need the approval of some bureaucrat big shot from city hall, and you don’t need the government to inspect your mommas food.
A friend turned me on to this channel. Great content!

i was a south american kid in the 90s/00s, i hear "medium rare pork" and i get a shiver down my spine. idk if kids are still taught the same way, but i had the fear of tenias instilled in me at a very young age. it's one of the top gruesome experiences to study the parasites in school, combined with the traditional sti horror show class everyone got in school and tetanus.
Im guessing those sti horror stuff is for them to be homophobic, yes? Bevause thats just bogus
Medium rare beef is possible because we have the tool
But irl without them then you better overcook them , make it as thin as possible for easier cooking and to avoid overcooking
I think most Americans are overly cautious with most food below the border.
Some are too paranoid to drink the water. And that's at nice resorts.
@@ninjamaster3453 My Mom and I weren't paranoid enough. Drank the water AND had unrefrigerated custard filled donuts. Not doing THAT again. 🤮
Its definetly common knowledge that you dont eat undercooked pork.

Brain parasites are really the stuff of nightmares, even if they 'only' end up as cysts. Sometimes it goes far worse than that.
Pretty amazing that the case in this video ended up making a full recovery.
according to my team mates in CSGO i have no brain. so there is 0 risk, which im thankful for
My uncle is going for his 3rd brain cyst removal this year.
@@ebdgrI have 4 brain cysts . I was told it is better to leave them in than take them out due to possible complications. How many does your uncle have ? And how is he recovering . TY in advance
@@Dream7773 what’s causing you to have that many brain cysts?
@@Dream7773bro what are the symptoms
As soon as I read pork and brain I knew exactly what happened. These kinds of diseases are endemic here so we learn all about parasites in school, including both types of tapeworm, and the diseases they cause. It was also in school that I learned about the ever so lovely named oral-fecal route. Anyways, I'm surprised the guy made a full recovery because my teachers assured us that tapeworms in the brain are a one way street. Maybe they just wanted to make sure we washed our hands well...
Yes, that happy ending did not sound consistent with earlier parts of the video talking about the brain cysts.
Nobody washes their hands well, not even after all we learned with covid
@@LourdesGzz I started washing my hands WAY BETTER when covid happend and I STILL got covid twice! March 2021 (covid penumona w/ an 8 day hospital stay) and Omicron in Jan 2022. (8 days at home, it was no worse than a cold).
That's why I never eat pork
@@LourdesGzz for certain. I watched people when in public restrooms. I would actually thank people who washed properly.
8:25 its really cool when you advertising delivery service in the video about a man who got parasites by an tacos
Lmao at the side eye from the food truck guy, its killing me lol.
A friend of my dad had a tapeworm in his brain. He ate pork and that is how he contracted the parasite. He got surgery but he wasn't the same person as he was before.
You mean like he couldn't recognize his past memories?
Fuck no pork for me
Personality change?
This happened to me pork chops and I had blood in stool so did my dad I got parasites and my dad had colon cancer.
I was super impressed with the food trucks who came to our small town back in the COVID days. I've never seen such clean workspaces, but their glove usage must have been through the roof, lol.
Seeing how dedicated they were to cleanliness made a lot of loyal little food gremlins out of us town folk, though.
I'm pretty sure gloves in food are worse than continually washing your hands, though I suppose for a food truck that's not so viable
@@chicken29843 It depends. Can you rely on your employees to regularly wash their hands? If so, yes, gloves are worse. You a fast food place hiring randoms? Probably best to always require gloves.
@@chicken29843 Yup. People in the food industry who wear gloves generally wear them to not soil their hands with the food rather than the opposite and are more likely to not realize they're cross-contaminating for that reason since they don't realize their gloves are dirty whereas they would realize their hands are.
@@rangergxi But if you can't rely on your employees to 'wash their hands' then any further food preparation is a gross negligence of hygiene. There is no alternative to washing hands. If you don't trust the employees enough to wash their hands, to the point you shower them with gloves, its pretty much a given that these gloves are going to be cross contaminated anyway, as they touch and put them on.
Gloves are more like an additional hygiene step, not at all an alternative to hand washing.
@@BlackChad792 Obviously you've never worked in the food industry. It's easy for somebody to go from handling raw produce to picking up bread and then back to the raw produce without thinking twice about cross contamination. A good restaurant, with trained cooks and a quality chef, will know not to do this. A fast food worker, who is still in high school getting trained by somebody who barely understands what cross contamination means? They won't know the difference.
Cats and dogs can also get tapeworm infections. I had a cat that got them. This is also why you should always wash your hands after dealing with the cat litter box.
Was on a cruise ship to Mexican Riviera. Docked and disembarked to a vendor frying tacos in a 55 gallon drum for 10 cents a piece. These guys just ate all the tacos they could get their hands on. Later on the ship they got food poisoning and were quarantined for the rest of cruise. This was our first port so these guys spent 8 of 10 days locked in a tiny cabin fighting for facilities.

Yeah, there are a lot of local food trucks that help out by catering events at our animal shelter. They’re all very trustworthy and have great stuff.
Sounds like a nightmare. Also sounds very much like what happened to a woman in Northern Virginia, and underwent a surgery at Fairfax Hospital, to remove a worm, that showed in either MRI or CT scan. She was only around 26, and was in pretty bad shape by this time, and had been in the US since childhood, but did remember traveling to Colombia sometime as a child. I think it was when she was 5 or 12.
Thanks for revealing the secret to delicious street tacos I knew it was butt always it was missing, making stinkfinger tacos for the family tonight!!!
And then people wonder why I am so darn serious about food safety and sanitation even when I was just working simple jobs. I went to culinary school, I learned the importance of safety and sanitation guidelines, and swore to uphold the Culinarian's Code. People made fun of me for reciting it on the job, but I never had a customer come in sick from our food. I'm disabled and retired now, but I still practice it and still tell people about it all the time.
I’m always so genuinely impressed by people who take this kind of pride in what they do, from small things to bit things. I really love that, and it sticks with me any time I hear of/meet a person like that. You were the cool one, and the people making fun of you were the losers.
@@LiterallyJustAnActualPotato well, thank you! I just felt like the code was something people should take seriously: you wouldn't want to subject yourself to conditions or food safety/sanitation issues that could hurt yourself or others you care for so why would you subject others to it? It was the first thing I learned in culinary school and I took it to heart. It was an oath like the ones doctors took and I swore to always protect people I cooked for. I never understood why it was something to get bullied for especially when it was an essential part of food service.
It happened in Russia.
My nephew, when he was studying in typical Russian cook college, was on practise with other students during summer. They were putting meat through meat grinder. Professional meat grinders aren't the same as home grinders so you need to push meat with the special stick or hammer into grinder so it will be grinded better.
One day, some stupid male student used his hand instead of hammer to push the meat. All other students, including my nephew, were taken out of kitchen immediately. Cause the view of accident was so disgusting. This male student lost his hand and was forced to leave college.
Food safety isn't only about food but also about devices you use to make food.
Ahh shuddup you karen
May you be eternally rewarded.
This is actually something an old Biology teacher of mine's uncle had. If she's still alive she'd be in her ate 70s to early 80s rn. Said uncle used to cook pork chops and stuff by just cooking it on one side in a pan for 2 minutes and then flip it over and do the other for 2. He was also a raging alcoholic (important). So one day he goes to a hospital and complains to about feeling sick and the docs immediately notice he's got jaundice. They do a blood test and question his family and go okay, he'd an alcoholic let's tone down the alcohol and then that'll improve his liver function. The uncle loses consciousness 3 days later and then dies shortly thereafter. Turns out his brain was full of worms and the constant abuse of alcohol was probably affecting the worms too and helped keep him alive
Damn those medium rare pork chops... Not worth it! I'll drink to that.
My daughter, who was always vegetarian, at a chicken taco off a food truck. She got a parasite which lead to ulcer active colitis and now she has to have infusions ever few months. The doctors said she needs to do these infusions for the rest of her life.
did she eat it or did it just climb into her mouth
He went back for seconds 🤣🤦🏽♂️
"the mustached man didn't seem like he was from around town" the physician's disguise was perfect
I recall seeing a cook that had a cooking establishment and had prepared a huge pot of meat for tacos etc …. Left it to cool and when she went to put it away it was bubbling on its own. Like it was cooking but not. She immediately identified the meat was spoiled and had to throw 100s of dollars of food away. But thankfully she did rather than serve it.
Generic meat story is Generic
When it comes to pork dishes, ALWAYS be heating it. Leave it on room temp for a while and it's guaranteed to spoil, even more during summer.
So many managers and owners willing to serve disgusting product to save a few pennies
It’s counterintuitive, but the bacteria that causes food to spoil is not going to infect you because it evolved to live in rotting food, not in a warm living body with stomach acid and enzymes. BUT… those bacteria can produce toxins as a byproduct and those toxins can make you sick! Of course in this case the problem wasn’t bacteria or a virus, but a parasite.

I was eating when I decided to watch this ... big mistake .. luckily it wasn't pork though so I just about managed to finish it after pausing for a bit lmao.

Because it's so damn expensive, even with insurance!
@@WickedPhase i just noticed that all of these take place in america lol

Good to know. Thank you for informing.
P.S. This gives me another anxiety.😬 I don’t eat pork anyway… but still a thought that I can get infected because of someone’s poor hygiene is unsettling.
This is just a little fun fact from working in food service, if you can avoid it, never ask for a recommendation- we're incentivised to give you what's not selling or soon going to go bad. I'm not saying it's unsafe- unlike here- but still you're better off just picking something from the menu at random than asking for a recommendation if you're looking for freshness and extra safety
I always ask about the recommendation in order to avoid ordering it. Kidding but it may be a good idea.
So, if the kitchen is telling you guys to make these recommendations, saying we need to get rid of this stuff, so push it. Then you are complicit if you push it. So basically what you’re telling me is that servers are unethical? Really? I read Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential. I worked as a bartender etc. I am well aware of the shenanigans that go on in the kitchens. It troubles me, however that a server would knowingly try to poison me.
@@hopesprings4967 You must have misread the OPs comment. They said they're told to recommend whatever is "not selling or soon going bad" Nothing unethical about that; the food is safe to eat, just not popular or there's excess!
The pork tapeworm is such a fascinating parasite. Mostly because it can use humans both as a definitive and intermediate host at the same time.

When I was an icu nurse, we had a boy that came in with Neuro symptoms like this. They thought he had meningitis, but the ct scan showed these cysts in his brain from disseminated pork tapeworm infection just like this. They tested the whole family for tapeworms. Apparently they had eaten pork at a luau while in Hawaii a month or two prior. The kind where the pig is buried and cooked for 1-2 days. The boy was probably scratching and not washing his hands after and reinfected himself just like this man.

Yeah, this is literally my worst nightmare. Literallly, I went to sleep with a migraine one time and had a nightmare about having brain worms and the hospital inexplicably not being able to find a neurosurgeon or send me to another hospital. That shockingly was the most out of place thing in the dream, as my actual doctor made an appearence, and there were even brain MRIs that my subconcious inaccurately labeled "X-rays". I can usually tell when I'm dreaming, but for some reason I didn't pick up on it that time, since my dreams are insanely detailed, and I was experiencing head pain when I fell asleep, it was a perfect storm...
@@Amy_the_Lizardruhh the part where you said your brain inaccurately labeled it as X-rays reminded me I had a dream last night that I had some amazing Mexican food that my mom saved for me in the fridge when I was a child, and I had finally gotten around to eating it this year in the dream. I looked at the side of the takeout box and it said from 2009. I was like wow, this food was 14 years old and it was still amazing??? And then when I woke up I realized.. how the actual hell did I get that math correct in my dream? That 2023-2009 was 14 years? I’m not too bad at math but idk it just shocked me. Dreams are so cool man. But not when I dream about having a terrible day at work. I had a dream 2 nights ago that I was working at my dollar general job and I got shot at 5 times, and that it was pouring down rain and a huge sinkhole opened up in our basement and I was scared shitless. And then when I tried to leave my car wouldn’t start and my seatbelt wouldn’t unbuckle. And then my brakes stopped working while driving and I got into 3 car accidents. This was all in one day in my dream. And one of my customers had the nerve to tell me he was stressed out, I was like HA YOURE stressed out???? Wait till you hear about my day! And then we closed at fucking 2 am for some reason and I was pissed cause we usually close at 9. And this whole dream I had was when I was on my day off in real life and asleep all day. Wild stuff man. I think it’s because I drink so much apple juice before bed when taking my meds, I heard it gives vivid dreams
