Well, I'm never going outside again. I knoow of a place where you never get harmed. A maaagical place with maaagical charms. Indoors, indoors, iiindooooors. Take it away penny!
randman you mean the place where bed-bugs, flies and spiders live?
That penny has the most beautiful voice. 😭😭😭😭
+Mikolaimcwhateverman we have guns
randman This is the least nightmare fueled thing I've seen about parasites. It was pretty tame. You should spend an hour or so with Google on the subject.
Nikolaj Lepka don't forget the possibility of moths, cockroaches, ants, and house centipedes.
Well, that was 10 minutes of NOPE...
"If you haven't had enough parasite information..." Yeah, I think I've had quite enough, thank you. Now excuse me while I go watch "2 girls 1 cup" and "Blue Waffle" pictures to cleanse my palate...
Jandau85 All right, that's it, I'm out of the world.
Some red pancakes would help
Jandau85 I'm so going to regret looking these up again.
Blue waffles are fake...
*****
Then my work here is done...
Makes me miss watching the show "Monsters Inside Me." Parasites are both terrifying and extremely interesting to me. It's amazing how an amoeba, something so tiny, can take down something like a human, millions of times its size.
Craig Brooks Millions? Try hundreds of trillions. And compare that to a virus which usually clock in at a good million times less massive than an ameoba.
I love that show! And untold stories of the er lol
Craig Brooks I used to watch that show a lot! I was a little kid when I saw a lot of it and it kind of freaked me out for a long time.
I am never going out side ever again... Now if you will excuse me, I need to go shower in boiling water....
"You made it the whole way? You rock!" and disgusted. Very much disgusted. 😭
Conclusions?
>Don't swim anywhere
>Don't touch anything
>Don't get bitten by anything
>Don't get a wound
>Don't eat anything
>Don't drink anything
>Don't breathe anything
Funny how the Intelligent Design camp doesn't have much to say about the wonderful world of parasites.
Paul Keefer actually, they do. Don't turn this video into a religion flame war. There's no need for that.
Paul Keefer nice b8, m8, I r8 8/8
They probably do but they call parasites demons.
And people mock the intelligent design types for commenting on videos like this, when here we have a prime example of provocation. Whatever your views are, it's free speech, people.
Heather Richardson While I agree with your overall sentiment... Thaaaaat's not what "free speech" means or how it's implemented. Also, this is the internet, which isn't American, thus no "free speech" law of any kind governs allllll those of different countries watching videos and commenting.
The worse thing about this episode is that these are just the parasites that we know about. I'm sure there are plenty worse out there. Oh Yeah :(
isgdre So, let's talk about botflies...
isgdre Oh yeah there are. I highly encourage not googling on it if the stuff mentioned here made you quesy
DuizhangLu Let's not and burn *everything* to get rid of them instead.
I thought the worst part was that John Green wasn't hosting.
*gets spagetti*
*watches youtube*
"Hey! Another video! Parasites? Eh, why not?!"
*sees worms*
*looks at spagetti on fork*
"NOPE!"
The fluke goes through a "host" of animals, you say? hehehe, nice pun :)
"You can feel them in your eye!"
NOPE! I'm done. Bye.
10:00....yes, I see...*precedes to light everything on fire*...we'll be safe now
This truly makes me want to lock myself inside a bubble for the rest of my life. 😶
Lovely.
dafthouse indeed
dafthouse Quite.
dafthouse Surely.
Wtf
Lien Nguyen
C-c-c-combo breaker!
My whole body started to itch while watching this episode.
Rhett and link did this yesterday. Y'ALL GET READY TO PUPATE!!
Every new fact I learn about bedbugs makes me realize how similar they really are to Floridians.
Episode 314?! I was expecting more from you MentalFloss.
Why not facts about pi?
Why not 3.14 facts about pi. And cut to credits .14th of the way through the last fact.
That was terrifyingly fascinating.
Terrifying when humans were mentioned, fascinating when we were not.
one of the more entertaining episodes of mental floss. i love it when Aaron gets super sarcastic
#01 - welp, that's enough internet for today.
These are all terrifying, but the most terrifying parasite to me will always be the Ceti Eel from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan
This guy is awesome at explaining things.. best ever i seen. 11 thumbs up!
Well, I already knew all of that information, but it was a good refresher! I guess I'll just have to head over to Healthcare Triage to watch more!
Aaron nailed this. I was fascinated, terrified and laughing (sometimes nervously) the entire time.
"You rock!" - Yes, I do. But I now feel the urge to scratch. A lot...
That was gruesome Aaron. Thanks for those horrifying images.
This was actually one of my favorite episodes of mental floss. You guys should do one about bizarre diseases (unless you already have and I'm just a dummy).
IN YOUR EYE!
Not only did I make it through the entire thing, I did it while eating a meal, which included beef... it was a narrow thing though, the food was significantly less appetizing. It got easier after we got out of the human parasites.
Me- "Ahh ill just watch one more vid before sleep."
*click*
-10 minutes later-
"I have made a terrible mistake..."
lol im hyper sensitive to touch right now, I can even feel my body hair
It was just lovely that you shared this stuff with the world.
Very well done, new guy! Good job. Welcome by the way
What a perfect video to watch right before bed..Thanks doc!! :-D
Fact 1: They live in the comment section of CZcams
Oh my god, I saw the title and I just though "If John is doing this episode I'll just die"
None the less, he must have LOVED this topic.
Great job Dr Carroll :D
Well... I'm never touching, eating, breathing, or looking at anything ever again... this was awesome.
This dude is awesome.
The fact about naegleria fowleri, the parasite that infects drinking water, really shocked me! I use a neti-pot all the time for my sinus problems, and I've always been told to use distilled water, or if I have to use tap-water, to boil it first. I knew it was a health thing, but I never really knew the true consequences of not taking care with water. Scary.
Thanks for sharing
That is really cool. I'd like to point out that some of the organisms you mentioned are technically not parasites, but parasitoids (they kill their host). Despite that little discrepancy, this is one of my favourite Mental Floss videos for sure.
Neti pots are amazing for cleaning out your nasal cavity when you have a sinus infection. Use bottled or filtered water only!
My eyes started twitching and everything... glad I wasn't hungry cuz I don't think my appetite will recover from that vid any time soon. Thanks Dr. Carroll
I used a neti pot for a while (~3 months) because I have really annoying indoor/outdoor allergies that causes me to be congested more days than not. I always boiled the water first and then let it cool before using it.
If I didn't have an unhealthy phobia of germs, bugs,and parasites in general, I certainly do now!
Could you (if you haven't already) make a list show about the origins of some common sayings/expressions?
First Good Mythical Morning and now Mental Floss/Healthcare Triage!? Man I'm going to become entomophobic this week.
You made it the whole way? You rock!
Not only did I make it through, I was eating the whole time. Still surprisingly relaxed...
Nice that they ended with parasites that don't infect humans. It went from near-vomit-enducing horror to really interesting and not that creepy.
lol this dude is awesome...this video rocked..
GOODNESS, I can't believe I handed so much. I feel sick. Thanks Dr. Aaron! You're awesome hahahaha (seriously, though, you're awesome)
For certain congestion and sinus problems, neti pots can be great. BUT ALWAYS BOIL THE WATER FIRST.
After a few minutes I was like "you know, I do not think watching this video will enrich my life in any way" and noped my ass out.
Now you've seen that Guinea worm and you'll never look at that Rod of Asclepius on your doctor's diploma the same way . . .
I've heard a lot of information about bee colony collapse and unexplained disappearance of entire hives and I was wondering if the practice of removing the hives' entire supply of honey and replacing the honey needed to nurture the colony with fructose or sugar water, has generational consequences? Could that practice be the equivalent of generations of humans living on nutritionally deficient diets? Thank for your research and informative channel.
Guess I'm used to this stuff because didn't bother me at all. Also I've seen those 30ft worms get removed from someone. Its SLOW taking it out because it can break and go back inside you.
Well, now I'm going to spend the rest of my life terrified of horseflies.
Come on guys,
How did you skip Toxoplasma and Cordyceps?
They feed on our fear and you didn't pay tribute...
WE'RE DOOMED!!!!
PARASITES!!! I'm absolutely terrified of bugs but I have a strange fascination with parasites and in fact, one of my favorite books (Scott Westerfield's "Peeps") features chapters named after various parasites and gives brief info on them. I think that was the start of my interest in parasites and microbes, immunology, all that fun stuff. Needless to say, I have a slight case of hypochondria (which is not the accurate medical term/diagnosis anymore I know) so I decided against majoring in it.
Time to go take a bath in UNINFECTED water
The Ichneumon Wasp does a similar thing as the Emerald Wasps but with caterpillars.
It wouldn't be fun being a bug.
I'm actually surprised at how few of these facts I didn't already know.
I'm amazed at how the larva of the Jewel Wasp knows in which order to eat the organs of the cockroach to keep it alive as long as possible.
I'm on a diet and I haven't eaten anything in 7 hours. This video was very helpful to me
why, why did I watch this? I started twitching and itching half way through
Lol I've had 3 years of animal science in high school to not even freak out.
Thanks, it's not like I wanted to sleep... Ever again.
I thought I would be fine. I've never worried about parasites. I was wrong. That was horrifying.
Yesterday it was rhett and link talking about parasites and now this... Makes me wanna play the last of us
Oh God!!! makes me want to just hide under my covers..........I kinda wish I'd skipped this one.
.
A minute after finishing, whatever amount people decided to watch, missions of fire were stared across the world! Thanks Mental Floss you made global warming worse with this video!
WHYYYYY
Nature is bootiful.
randman your picture fits your comment
That's cool. Didn't plan on sleeping tonight...or ever.
That was 10 minutes of nightmare fuel....have to go shower this feeling off me now
Very interesting video! I'll lock myself in my room now.
I love parasites, they're so interesting. If you liked this, I'd recommend reading Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer (nonfiction) or Peeps by Scott Westerfeld (fiction, vaguely zombie/vampire-esque, but mostly the emphasis is on parasites).
the only video on this channel i haven't finished watching. BLECH
You forgot about the cat shit parasite (It's a totally scientific name, toxoplasma if you want to be anal about it). it starts its lifecycle when the eggs of the female are shat out by the cat, then they try to get eaten by mice, when in mice they start producing hormones so the mouse no longer fears cats in order to be eaten, which cats do and that completes the cycle.
What's the bad part?
It can also infect humans and it does have an effect on humans (it's correlated with schizofrenia, alzheimers, and suicide, not to mention higher rate of traffic accidents).
It's estimated that over half the world's population is infected with this.
How do they get in you?
Your cat is an asshole and when it walks all over its shit in its shitbox and then walks over your tables, or over your face at night, or when it licks its ass and then your face or hands, or licks utensils.
Sweet dreams!
Spliter You don't even have to have a cat. A study in India revealed that a sh!t ton of cat-free people with vegetarian diets have it because of critters on the farms and plantations.
Spliter And I have 6 cats... Am I going to die?
Parasites, parasite, parasyte... the.. maxim? Awesome show
I made the great decision of watching this as I had to quickly have breakfast.
I didn't have a lot of breakfast. And I'll regret that soon.
If this video is your cup of tea, you should try reading the book "Peeps"
I don't remember who it's written by, but it basically suggests that if Vampires are real, parasites would be the reason; and has a lot of pretty cool parasite stuff in it, including the last one mentioned in this video.
I'm so glad I decided to watch this while eating lunch. I feel sick :(
I saw the eye-crawling worm on "Monsters Inside Me" and the thing making ants climb grass blades on "Animal Planet's, The Most...Extreme".
Thank you for the warning, I think I will watch something else, but I wanted to like and comment to show my appreciation for the warning.
Well that was completely terrifying.
I wrote a paper about Cymothoa Exigua in my invertebrate zoology class during my first semester of college! They're terrifying and cool. Apparently there is a horror movie about them, too!
Can't...unhear...
Such a good sport for a doctor who hates bugs
Frogs with extra legs
the french: * heavy breathing.*
I want to see this video's view time analytic and see what made people quit the most.
This is the first time I noticed this wasn't just called Mental Floss. It's called The List Show.
Thanks a lot, evolution!
The emerald jewel wasp is my favorite one.
This was great.... in a horrifying kind of way.
What we can all learn from this is: Inside good, outside - bad
Yep, this was a bad idea, the ones I already knew only drew up bad memories
Watching this video at 2.59am right before I go to bed was one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life... Please excuse me while I attempt to drown myself in cartoons in order to cleanse my mind & stop me from dozing off x.x
My favorite was the wasp. It tortures cockroaches and consumes them alive. That's a net service. Is there anywhere I could buy some of these?
This was truly horrifying, thanks, I think
