dragonfistbs hundreds of thousands of trans men can do both

No no. Men was correct. Trans men are women transitioning to men. Thus trans men can have babies. Trans women can not, they have been born male and cannot have a baby growing inside them. Ever.
Tanya Van Der Merwe The Tapeworm still does not care! :D
Tanya Van Der Merwe i don't think ever is the right word, you should use yet. Because we don't know how far will technology will bring humanity to
moral of the story: your parents were right when they said that playing in the dirt helped toughen your immune system or whatever lol
But too much also isn't good either
In this case, it keeps a bored immune system occupied.
Heh heh, I’m in danger. (I’ve eaten dirt as a child)

My old college professor was allergic to pretty much everything, he tried parasite therapy and he went from a super lanky weak body guy to almost average weight within one semester.
Didn't fix all his allergies, but his milk and nut allergies went away and he could put on weight because he could actually eat.
That's so cool to hear about! Do you know what parasites he used?
@@conlon4332 I Necator americanus hookworms.
Earlier today I was in my clinical microbiology class. We talked about parasites and how some experts think that allergies are due to a lack of parasitic worms. I thought about mentioning you guys to her, but didn't. Then I come home, and "1 hour ago". That's it, this is my calling in life. The universe said so.
More prone to is not the same thing as caused by. Obesity makes one more prone to develop diabetes, but it is not the cause. I was healthy weight and still developed it.
@@noahmeme2 yes please, and then tell us how well your allergies are. Lol. Crimany the common sense on this post is terrifying. Parasites are good for you!!! Lol how can humans be that gullible?
THE IDEA THAT YOU NEED PARASITES TO LIVE INSIDE OF YOU TO HELP YOU BE MORE HEALTHY IS LUDACRIS ..... YOU ARE RAISING YOUR BODY ACID LEVEL THROUGH ANIMAL PRODUCT INGESTION......... YOUR ANIMAL PRODUCTS CONTAIN PATHOGENS ....WORMS ...... THESE WORMS EAT AT YOUR LOWER INTESTINE/ COLON....... THIS IS COLON CANCER........ THE WORMS ARE CONSTANTLY INFESTED YOUR ENTIRE BODY.... THIS IS TAXI AND DRAINING TO YOU IMMUNE SYSTEM..........WHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS CONSTANTLY FIGHTING MILLIONS OF WORMS INSIDE YOU'RE NOT BUILDING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM YOU'RE WEAKENING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BY MAKING IT WORK AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY.

B ees t comment eva !
Well, I guess thanks for waiting until 5:07 to tell me NOT to infect myself with worms...
XD not those worms
It's to teach you to listen to the whole video. Darwin.
And then, he tells us one fairly efficient way to infect ourselves.
Tapeworms can be definitely dangerous. They lay eggs, which then may hatch in your bloodstream anywhere in your body, liver, muscles, or brain. You better wait for the scientist to do something with this knowledge instead of trying it yourself.
If you needed him to tell you at all, how have you not already done the tide pod challenge?
I saw the title and was like “Oh crap! I got rid of the 8 hookworms in my feet” but then I saw the rest. Now I’m glad that I got rid of Billy, Terry, Sarah, Andy, Jacob, Emma, Paul, and Bernice.
How?
Hey did you make sure that Hookworms' Cousins Festus, Leroy, Cletus , Daisy and Leeanne and yes Billy-Bob too, are gone as well?
You named them?
I wish you would have mentioned that in most allergies, a Th2 response is initiated, which is the same response elicited when you have a parasitic infection. So, people who have allergies have an elevated Th2 response, and may actually be better at fighting off parasitic infections.
Yeah i still don't want worms....
SDD525 i still don't want worms! I can still accept something but not want it.
SDD525 did you not just read what i said. Let me phrase it another way: You can not want a thing but prefer it over something else.
Either way me being a "wuss" is of no concern to you.
Bye.
The thing is he briefly mentioned that some of them are completely harmless, like you could live a healthy life and not know you have them. I for one would like that for my allergies
jami s Why?, you already have many other living things inside you
@SDD525 once you get it maby but for now most of us are okay. I don't want something living inside me until it really is the last option.
"If it ain't broke don't fix it" -The Worms
So is it mutualism or parasitism...?
It's still parasitism. It releases those proteins to keep itself protected against our immune system, but the proteins they release has a good side effect. Think of it as this: if having a tapeworm benefits every single human, its then mutualism.
Symbiotic parasitism
mutual parasitism
parasitic mutualism
@One Blue Boi eh, still kinda wrong. many parasites have some mutualistic tendencies but only to prevent it's host from dying while it needs it. as someone else had said, it's symbiotic parasitism. it works with the host (symbiotic) only for its own gain even at the host's detriment. (parasitic)
@@zonyae29047 couldn't we stimulate that without worms?
I want the worms Fry had
we all do
Lmao Yeah the worms will exercise your muscles. (I saw that episode a while ago.)

That is the most horrifying thing I've ever heard in my whole life.

[Dinner at the in-laws]
Husband (patting wife's belly) : "Remember you're eating for two now."
Mother-in-law (smiling) : "You mean..."
Husband : "That's right. She got a tapeworm"
Lol
It's per definiton not a parasite, if it gives positive effects back. It's a symbiotic relationship, not a parasite
mreeeeeigf That's also what I was thinking
Symbiosis has different types and one of them is parasitism; the one we usually associate with symbiosis is mutualism.
The worms presence may be useful but the worm itself doesn't help you out so I think it counts as parasitic
Smarthead Genius the chemicals produced by the worm supposedly help humans, that is symbiotic.
No the worms don't give positive effects. Humans have evolved to live with them and some problems occur because it's not used to have no worms.
maybe my dumb unhygienic practices as child, like eating things that fell on the ground, were actually me instinctively building my immune system for the future
or maybe I was just an idiot
You were just a non ick sensitive child
My parents’ encouraged the “five second rule.” Half of it was a “don’t waste food” + “play in dirt” mentality
…then again if you don’t soak and thoroughly rinse things like rice you can ingest an apparently cancer-causing fungus or something over time?! And legumes like peas, lentils, and beans have an “anti nutrient” coating which is why you should apparently take the time to soak&rinse those for hours…
(And here I always did Some of it with the rice to try and get it fluffier.)
Would that not make them Symbiotic worms, instead of Parasitic worms?
gotem
Killer.exe it kinda sounds like that!! mabye its a finer line than we realised ☺️
Cue the stargate SG-1 theme.
Parasitism is a form of symbiosis
Fruits: Oh, is it? Interesting, did not know that. Yeah, now that I read about it Symbiosis is a blanket term for long term interactions between different species. So I guess what I ment was Mutualism
Im a celiac, and I know plenty of celiacs who have intentionally gotten hook worms. Apparently the treatment works well to prevent reactions from cross contamination!
Tim Pool's Beanie hahahahahah
I don't like needles but they seem like heaven compared to when the doctor starts giving me worms
Parasitic Worms turn off/dampen the signalling for the immune system when you have them *(so they don't get attacked). as a result all your inflammation goes down, it's not because your body likes having them inside you as sci show suggest.
This is awesome. I have been researching how we work symbiotically with bacteria for a long time, then got into how viruses are essential for all life to even exist. Worms add a new layer I had not considered! Looks like we need more dirt!
Pasteur lied paid by Bismarck, Bechamp was right but didnt include Parasites to Terrain theory
And viruses. Pretty sure that's considered wrong think nowadays😅
But regulating the amount of parasitic worms in your body is problematic to say the least. They quickly multiply and having too many of a given parasite is unhealty and sometimes even dangerous.
If I had parasites I'm asking the doctor to get them the hell out of me.
SDD525 The very large number of harmless bacteria inside the human body aren't considered parasites.
SDD525 sdd525 wouldn't that be more mutualism though?
choose life lol
Kathryn Mercier I had pinworms and it scared me so much. But they didn't effect my health at all.
SDD525 I meant like harmful parasites but ok?
my ex-gf had MS. She was also a PhD student in the medical field. MS really scared me. The unpredictability of it and how it might affect her. I wonder if the cure to that and other relevant illnesses might be found in the research outlined in this video. Great segment!
Worm: "can I live with you?"
Me: "um, no..."
Worm: "please... You won't even know I'm there."
Me: "I don't know..."
Worm: "C'mon, I can help out around the place. All I need is nutrients and a home."
Me: "Ugh, fine... For now. As long as you aren't a bother and can help out around the place. If not, I will remove you."
Worm: "Thank you. Don't worry, after a while, you'll be glad I'm here."
*a while*
Me: "Well, you've held up your part of the bargain. You can stick around as long as you want."
Worm: "See, I knew you'd grow to like me."
The next time when i go to the doctor and being diagnosed with a worm inside me.
I'll say" Is the worm useful?"
"If it is then let it do its job"
seek your fate Is it often that your doctor diagnoses you as having worms?
Theron Gilliland It happened a long time ago, the worm was dangerous so I had to remove it.
Maybe in another universe the very same worm I had might have been a good one.
seek your fate that's so weird because my worm was diagnosed with being covered in human! well we removed that pesky human right quick,with there "like being totally woke" and figet spinners!
maybe you were that human!
@@seekyourfate4497 , I got these long whitish worms from undercooked fish . I THINK they're gone now. A buddy and I felt like eating raw venison ,so we did. I was told that was a guaranteed trip to "Wriggling Weird White Worms" adventures. So If I have worms and something eats me , whatever did so will have " guests" .
Interesting. I would like more research done so we can have more concrete evidence because I am very intrigued now
Kyan Lawrence sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm a zoology student in college. I already know about the human microbiome, what I was referring to in my original comment is the phenomenon described in the video where the other species are larger parasites, like worms.
Loura Canisara It's true being too clean can cause allergies and for your immune system to attack yourself. I read about this before. It's good to be exposed to dirt every once and a while to build a strong immune system.
Also I'd like to add that I'm more comfortable with traditionally "gross" bodily functions than the average person, so the excrement thing doesn't bother me at all
Soul Purpose I don't know... I grew up with dogs and took care of a rabbit for several years. So I was decidedly surrounded by dust and such. Yet at five it was clear I am allergic to perfume and after my rabbit died I became allergic to grass. I was 13-14 years old and had never reacted before. Yet the summer after my rabbit had died I developed a pretty bad allergy to grass.
Sometimes exposure can cause allergy. Especially over a long period of time.
Dealing with sniffles > parasitic worm infection
The internal biome is such a fascinating place. Legions of friendly micro-organisms thrive within that tube running through us, helping us digest food, fending off pathogenic species by not giving them a place to grow, and doing all sorts of other interesting things that affect our well-being. I never thought that larger companions (parasitic or otherwise) might actually be beneficial. Thanks for this thought-provoking video, SciShow. This is exactly the sort of thing for which I subscribe.
That's amazing. I first heard about this potential effect from a study on South Pacific Islanders in the 1980s and have thought about it ever since. We need to hear more about this, and it's nice to see the research is progressing. It has potential application to all sorts of autoimmune diseases.
Also, like fecal transplants, the idea is gross, but potentially helpful.
that is mad interesting, areas with less rates of parasitic infections have higher chance of asthma and allergies... I stopped getting really bad allergies when I started farming... I thought I was getting used to the pollen....
Deliberate parasite infection is a fairly common alternative treatment for inflammatory bowel diseases. I looked into it, as I was very reactive a couple of years ago, but my inflammation settled down once I got the right medication, so I never took it further.
LOL! Too late, I already infected myself with Necator Americanus (human hookworm) for my multiple sclerosis. Love my little buddies - they've been very helpful. ❤️
How are you today? Still symptom free?
How are those rabbits from your profile picture doing?
Two theories: 1. We'vr always had these conditions, but we were so busy with all the other parts of not dying before the advent of modern medicine that things like asthma were simply ignored. 2. As we have improved hygiene, our immune systems have slacked off, evolutionarily speaking. 3. Our immune systems have gotten bored with the lack of compelling enemies and have started taking pot shots at our own bodies (I.E. energy that our bodies would normally devote to keeping the parasite at bay is now being turned on the body; with no obvious threats, the immune system is now tackling anything it sees as foreign.
Something that's always crossed my mind is the fact that we have so many 'anti-bacterial' products such as hand sanitizer and sprays that 'kills' 99.9% of bacteria on surfaces and/or hands, which exempts our bodies from actually 'learning' everyday about new and improved viruses/bacteria and halts our immune system from building stronger antibodies each day (which i logically assume, weaken our immune system beyond the capabilities for self immunization against developing more powerful and efficient defences) I wonder, where would humanity end up with constant and/or abusive anti-bacterial product usage?
Kinda wish they touched on the IgE antibody and how it is pretty specific to helminths. If the IgE antibody is not activated by a helminth, it leaves IgE to be activated by an allergen.
My parents had worms (idk what kind) when they were young. No allergies their entire life. But then my father developed serious allergies (mostly pollen) after about 15 years living in the U.S. Then my brother and I were born. We both had asthma, but my brother grew out of it and is now as healthy as can be. Unfortunately, I had eczema, and later developed psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. All my cousins in the states have had asthma or eczema (or both) in their youth. My cousins in the Philippines have no such worries.
If they are beneficial then aren't they by definition symbiotic and not parasitic?
Perhaps the increase in symptoms has other factors such as increased exposure to pollution and/or side-effects from the medication to get rid of the worms.
There's also been the opposite shown too. Parasitic worms may cause asthma and allergies..
*Some* doctors have found *connections* between parasitic worms and a decrease in allergies and arthritis. Correlation does not equal causation, just wanted to remind everybody
Futurama is way ahead of you, 'Parasites Lost' Se3 Ep2, Jan 01'
So, give a parasite thousands of years of side by side evolution with its host and eventually it becomes a symbiotic relationship? Makes a ton of sense actually
eah why would it kill its host? Then it would also die. Kind of counter productive. Take a bit of the food (extremely minimal amount) And keep the body "clean/healthy" so the host doesn't die before it does.
Noone wants to destroy their home. Unless it's for insurance fraud.
I might need someone more informed than me to help:
How exactly was the connection made between having worms and the hygiene hypothesis? My impression was that the worms themselves would try to prevent inflammation by producing compounds that protect themselves from being discovered as a foreign organism. That would mean that worms and not humans were the ones that evolved to keep the parasitic relationship working, the worms that produced anti-inflammatory compounds survived and the ones that didn't died because of the reaction of the hosts immune system.
References are welcome
It makes sense. The parasites would evolve to prevent the immune system from attacking them and eventually even take it a step further and start helping the host. If it becomes a sybiotic relationship rather than just parasitic the host would not try to get rid of the worms and even go as far as to seek out the worms to gain the benefits from having them.
Bro how? The body well still see it as a threat
@@Titancameraman64 Bro, the video is 5 years old. I don't even remember what it's about. What are you doing with your life?
Wait wouldn’t it be considered a mutually beneficial relationship at that point making them not parasites
Well in regards to tapeworms they can actually grow so big in your body that they can rupture your digestive tract. They can also grow to more than 82 ft!
the real question is whether you prefer to get your anti inflammatory drugs from pills or from worms inside of your body. Obviously we should be going for the natural option, right?
"Great. Now I want to eat more parasitic worms now." Said no one ever. rofl
Why some one fricking eats worms. They eat the eggs. Lol
I never get ill. And I've always put it down to the fact I used to chew my toe nails and pick my nose and eat it. Thoroughly recommend making your children do this if you want their immune system to be bulletproof. 🤪😇
Before watching this video: So glad I never have to worry about allergy season :D
After watching this video: Oh god... I never have to worry about allergy season D:
Another theory is that a lot of our modern health problems can be blamed on the rise of chemical farming practices. And the timing does seem to correlate.
2:35 WHAT?! How do I find out if I have it then!?
Side note: the hygiene hypothesis has been reconfigured into the biome depletion hypothesis :) you can search scholar.google.com for peer-reviewed work about it!
I’m planning on making a show called “The Helminth Saga” which basically includes the 4 main types of worms: Tapeworm, Hookworm, Whipworm, and Pinworm.
5"10, 24 year old male, I can eat anything and can't gain weight. Idk if it's my metabolism or what but I wouldn't really be that shocked to find out I have a tape worm.
I swear I've read "why you might want COSMIC worms" xDDDD
I want cosmic worms now lol
" Cosmic Worms" I wonder what THOSE would look like !
My allergies had gone away for some years... Such an amazing feeling. Then I got some Anti biotics prescribed to me, which I should never have taken. Because my allergies returned after I used it for the two weeks. :( Been having it ever since again.
Antibiotics wouldn't get rid of parasites tho, they kill bacteria.
It seems to be difficult to restore gut flora after antibiotics
The way he says "you might want parasitic worms inside you" is a cursed mood.
What did the neurons say to the immune system attacking them?
"Quit that! You're getting on my NERVES!"
Sounds like that Futurama episode LOL. Fry being a superhuman.
I mean also there’s the weight loss aspect 😱
imagine this: every time you eat Peanut-butter and Jelly sandwich you keep throwing up for half the following night and have a migraine for two days
would you consider sharing half that sandwich with the worms to not suffer for two days? especially when stuff like the tapeworms are almost completely symptom free?
666Tomato666 sounds like someone’s had s worm
666Tomato666 heck yeah I love peanut butter
Larger tape worms, especially when there are plenty, actually stimulate more eating and weight gain ;)
But they make you hungry cause they starve you of your essential nutrients. But always being full cause they take up room in your belly.... Not to mention the eggs.... The eggs that crawl out your butt hole. Yes they move like little inch worms, flailing around in their attempt to find a place that is nice and moist, where their next host will put them in their mouth. Yumm.
Then when you actually POOP you have hundreds of wiggly things reaching desperately out trying to find a new host as well.
Thats just the tapeworm.
I was a dog groomer. These are the same tapeworm you can get. They didn't believe us. We were just "lowly groomers". But when there is a live, moving, worm is hanging out of the dogs butt, im sure im qualified enough to diagnose your dog with a worm, okay?
The owner comes in saying sorry 6 months later embarrassed. Owner also got the worms. From the dog.
Where did the dog get them? Fleas. From having fleas, and accidentily eating one.
It sounds less like our bodies evolved to be somewhat symbiotic with worms, than our bodies evolved to *compensate* for the presence of worms, so that they could still function, hence the warning at the end. Kind of like how the body becomes less susceptible to the intoxicating effects of drugs or the lethality of poisons by compensating for their presence when they're introduced consistently & with non-lethal doses. Taking small amounts of poisons to get high might've stopped an assassin, but that sure as hell doesn't make intentionally ingesting toxins a good idea. It's just that in this case, our bodies are so used to being screwed over by parasitic worms that, with our cleanliness, the natural selective processes have turned into cases of overcorrection.

This is incredibly interesting, but my daughters asthma has remained pretty bad through all her childhood ‘infections’ (including various unwelcome parasites!)...
I'm taking Hank's advice and getting worms right now!!! Thanks Hank! Message RECEIVED!
I deliberately dosed myself with human whipworm for ulcerative colitis in 2011. I've seen colonoscopy pics where the worms seem to have halted decades of inflammation. I had other infectious health problems going on unrelated to the worms so I killed them off to avoid adding insult to injury.
No thanks, I already have a civilization of probiotic bacteria in my gut, most of them live in Lactobacillus City in the Stomach District
I have heard of this (I have my ear to the ground for things involving autoimmunity since i have a few AI conditions), This is prob the best explanation I have seen of it though. It is such an interesting concept...holds promise! There are so many exciting theories in treatment for autoimmune conditions on the horizon...It makes me happy to think someday others may not need to suffer as I have....

SPACE MEAT!
Dyexmax no no look up I posted that the worms knew deh weh!
The worms excrete a chemical to tell the host "hey everything is good here" but it can also make u anemic. I think this would definitely be worth a try in someone suffering from Crohn's disease like my daughter

OMG that shirt is painful to look at. I'd rather have worms than that shirt.
Early birds WANT the worms
I've been saying this for a couple years. Not the worm thing but that we're trying to be too clean. We're using too many antibacterials and sanitizers so that viruses and bacteria get stronger trying to evolve and survive but we become weaker because are immune systems don't get the chance to evolve along with them
my tapeworm: its weird, ive been alive for a month and i know nothing of the world outside this human's stomach, but skitty is still my favourite pokemon
Brodas, it's no worm.. It's Ebola
3:25 its de wae
So, in actual who is called a healthy person.
The never time I suffer from hay fever I will recall this video....thinking 'yep I'm good without parasites I will live with the allergies' and maybe one day we will evolve smarter immune systems that don't need worms for commands.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and at this point the pain is so bad that worms might actually be a better option. I'll take part in that study!
I don’t even know what to think anymore I might as well just go get written books at the public library written experts because I have heard that sinus n arthritis etc can be all caused because of having parasites and candidad in your body, so I don’t know what to think anymore. But I know my ear itches n body parts out of no where I feel something in there for sure!
There is a possibilities that a person will just have both after doctors prescribe parasites. Two pains instead of one.
Now talk about stool transplants.
Simple Rule
Live and Let Live
Unless you're James Bond.
Basically balance of being dirty and clean is a way to live a healthy life.
Under definition, a parasite is a creature that takes things from a host without providing benefits, so if there are benefits, they are not a parasite.
As a crazy scientist, I say: Let's infect people with MS with worms
Maybe that's why more women than men get MS, because they are far less likely to be playing in the dirt. Strangely, I've read that both having worms and taking Ivermectin, which is a dewormer, can possibly help MS.
When you have a eternally young Goa'uld that doesn't mature in your belly.
…are you telling me if I had parasites I possibly wouldn’t have what’s probably arthritis in my hands that’s bad enough it’s mimicked classic carpel tunnel syndrome symptoms for YEARS?!
[glances at pig] “Sorry, buddy, but I might need to stop being vegetarian, and you’re notorious for being a tapeworm carrier.”
Four things should be considered before drawing these conclusions with stats.
A. areas with less access to healthcare and proper facilities which have higher parasite exposure.. *Probably have lower quality healthcare.* I.E. less cases of asthma are diagnosed because of improper diagnosis. Less equipment coupled with underpaid/overworked/under-educated medical specialists means less accurate diagnosis, and less patients making it to the doctor at all to BE diagnosed. These parasites are often easier to diagnose, because samples can be sent off to a lab and tested en masse, while asthma patients require an extensive diagnosis by a specialist using expensive equipment and treatment. I can imagine a stressed healthcare system prioritizing the much more common and present danger of parasitic organisms which can easily be prevented over asthma, which is less common, and a lifelong condition.
B. these areas have worse education. Plain and simple. When someone has breathing problems, they may not think 'Oh no, better go to the doctor,' or even 'Oh no, I have asthma.' They may think 'Oh no, I have a spiritual problem which needs mending' or, 'Whelp, better keep this to myself and tough it out.' It is a hard and uncomfortable reality, but look no further than the easily avoidable 2014 West African Ebola epidemic to see how spiritual beliefs and superstition exacerbated it from a few isolated cases to almost a country-wide pandemic.
C. people with asthma in these places may *die from an asthma attack before they are diagnosed.* This plays into A and B, because well, if you can't get someone with severe asthma the treatment they need, misunderstand their issues and don't seek treatment, or the doctor simply doesn't render the right care.. Especially in such a stressful and dangerous environment? *They're going to die.* And likely die without being properly diagnosed and added to that statistic. We've seen a similar thing with cancer statistics, but in reverse. More people than ever before being diagnosed with cancers in developed countries, at least in part *because the technology to diagnose and understand it has improved drastically.* Now, about the statistics.
This isn't even to touch on geopolitical problems like corruption or lack of funding which may skew these statistics. Maybe reporting higher numbers of parasite outbreaks than observed earns more donations and funding? When we use these statistics to draw conclusions, we should also discuss the accuracy and possible lack thereof, and other factors which may set these demographics apart.
So you're saying, that we might have worms in our bodies that may be beneficial for our immune system?
Well...ALL HAIL APOPHIS!!! JAFFA KREE!!!
Lol
My ancestors came over on the sandwich!
😂🤣💀
We breed clean green bottle flies when we want to use their grubs (their larvae) to clean out necrotic tissue (grubs eat necrotic tissue, and some differentiate between dead tissue and living tissue).
So, similarly, we might want to breed clean healthy tapeworms so that we know what's infecting our guts, rather than depending on natural infection to sort things out on its own.
Of course, before we do that we may want to nail down what parasites are doing what for us.
Orrrrr, the worms have evolved to know when a host is sickly and they abandon ship.
Correlation is not cause. We need those double blind placebo controlled trials.
They already exist for some years ago and are a lot of epidemiological and animal models that suggest this.
