Some more info on fluoride from Anne!
"The whole reason that they found out that fluoride can help prevent cavities is that beginning in the early 20th century, scientists linked high levels of naturally occurring fluoride in certain community water supplies to low levels of tooth decay. Since then, fluorination has been recognized as an easy way to drastically improve oral health. Actually, parts of India, China, and Africa have areas with high natural fluoride levels in their water, and are taking measures to remove the fluoride. Some countries have programs that fluorinate milk instead of water. There has been more recent evidence that suggested pregnant women should not drink fluorinated water, as it may result in lower IQ scores in their children. But, how much is too much - has not been fully determined.
Should you - or should you not drink fluorinate water is a different issue than eating a tube of toothpaste. It should be obvious that eating a tube of toothpaste will make you sick.
Thanks again!"

“Did you know that toothpaste is fatal if consumed?” “Yes, I did.” Honestly the funniest toxicologist I’ve ever met.
She says it so matter-of-factly, it totally sells how funny it is
It's funny that a toxicologist knows this, it's almost as if it's her job
To be fair, you've never met her :P
@@vinchinzo594 you don’t know that~
i've eaten toothpaste before...
Can't believe no one asked whether a poison is more or less deadly after it expires.
😮 I won't be able to sleep tonight, gotta find out
@JeEr MuCe Well, that’s a great info
Yeah, it depends on the particular details of the poison and the "state" in which it's stored... Mostly it's about the chemical "reactivity" of the stuff, but things like "volatility" also effect it...
Highly reactive chemicals degrade over time, and in many cases there just isn't anything you can do to really change it... They're charged ionically to interact with more and more of the environment around them, to a point that you just can't stop the degradation as bit by bit reacts and turns "inert" over time...
Highly volatile chemicals are substances that "vent" into gaseous form over time very easily or at relatively "low" temperatures... You CAN usually slow this process down, but it's not so much that they get less dangerous over time as they just escape containment and the vapors (gas) go away with every breeze...
AND some chemicals are inherently hazardous BECAUSE of their timely degradation. In these cases what is normally relatively safe to play with BECOMES MORE dangerous through chemical interactions that produce more and more hazardous chemistry as a result...
A fairly common example of this last one is common electronics. They're everywhere and we frequently rely on the electronic products we use everyday to be "safe"... Obviously you wouldn't sit down and eat your smart-phone or Tablet, since that's just silly... BUT frequent over-heating causes the wiring and insulation to break down... Some of those non-conductive materials produce HYDROGEN CYANIDE as a direct result of "thermal decomposition" (commonly burning, even slowly)... It's most obvious in the acrid smell and burning sensations you might get if you're around an electrical fire in a car, since automotive electrics are RIFE with this hazardous (and often under-rated) hazard...
NOW, before we go outlawing electronics that can produce Cyanide "ffs"... Relax. Cyanide binds with hemoglobin in your blood and displaces oxygen. That's really how it kills... AND it takes a fair amount of exposure to do the "job"... SO JUST DO NOT hang out in an enclosed car with the electronics smoking up inside for any longer than absolutely necessary...
ONCE YOU'RE BREATHING FRESH AIR, you'll recover fairly easily. You might get nauseous or cough for a bit, and oxygen might even be highly recommended, but generally just avoid breathing the smoke... That's where the "bad stuff" is... AND since cyanide smothers you chemically, it takes awhile (3 to 5 minutes average) to actually die of it, though to fall unconscious can be considerably shorter... Worth a note of caution, but cars have been equipped for DECADES with that grade of wiring and little risk posed to most common consumers. ;o)
“This isn’t even my final form.”
Most likely less deadly. Most expired medications get weaker so i assume the same for poison
this woman looked so serious at the start that I genuinely did not see the taco bell joke coming
Can you pls explain that joke to non-US citizens? I googled it but found nothing reliable(
@Pray4MePls gosh😅 thanks a lot! I thought there was some kind of an accident. This much easier though. No TB in USA, got it!
I honestly question if the joke was even her idea...
😂😂
I had a delayed response to that joke, it caught me off guard. I literally LOL!
When I was a kid, I thought food poisoning meant that someone had literally poisoned your food (I read a lot of medieval stories), and I remember being very confused because I thought people didn't really do that anymore... 🤔😄
SAME HERE
Wait it's not
ITS NOT
@@roseackackack8547 IT'S NOT???
@@abdefgh8191 no 😂😂 i used to think the same too
Basically, it is an illness caused when you consume food infected by pathogens aka disease causing microbes( bacteria, fungi etc)
The number one thing I learned in my general toxicology class is "The dose makes the poison" meaning u could consume some of the most deadly poison in the world and still be fine as long as you don't consume over the lethal threshold.
that doesn't mean anything if the lethal dose is so small, like pufferfish. Just don't eat any poisonous things goddammit
So, that means if i overdose on something that you drink everyday like cola, then it will be come poison?
Very true. Dosage , almost for anything really, is the main point that determines whether you get intoxicated or not. This applies for not only toxic chemicals that you are obviously not supposed to ingest, but also for medication, vitamins or food.
Even drinking water can kill you if you were to drink 5-10times the daily recommend amount.
@Alex K that means we can lick Cyanide?? lol
@@sultankahn9784 by licking cyanide you would die within minutes. Not a painless one to add. Every substance has a lethal threshold but they vary a lot in the range of concentrations that would result in intoxication. Meaning 1g of cyanide would kill you, but 1g of paracetamol wouldnt. But if you were to take over 5g of paracetamol at once (or more) you would face a serious liver damage within hours and without administering an antidote soon enough, a very painful death.
I wish more media outlets would realise people are more interested in specialists than famous people with very little knowledge when it comes down to obscure topics

In Czechia it’s actually very common to go to the forest and pick mushrooms. In many cases we are taught as children by our parents / grandparents which ones are edible, but we also have a lot of those ‘pocket size mushroom guides’.
Same here in Austria. I went foraging for mushrooms with my parents as a kid - and I don't even like mushrooms. :-D
Of course they were always checked in our book (which helpfully compared them to similar dangerous kinds), if they weren't one of the easy ones to tell apart. :-)

I'm so glad you mentioned the delay for food poisoning, so many people that feel sick after a meal will think it was that meal that made them sick like 30 min later. All of this was helpful, I had no idea about the visine, seems like a good thing to warn parents of small kids about.
The gut specialist that replies to questions in the very same Wired series says that you can actually get intoxicated very quickly, like immediately. I recall he said "you can feel sick before you even finished your plate".
Well there is not always a delay
@@AliEtSaMaman Yeah, as somebody with IBS (therefore I deal with this very often), it’s crazy how I can eat something and IMMEDIATELY the reaction I get ripples all the way down. Your gut contains a “second brain” with more neurons than a lot of animals, so needless to say, it can pick up on disturbances almost immediately.
Don’t underestimate how soon you can get food poisoning OP.
@@rubyy.7374 Indeed. I've experienced that myself. Take good care, Ruby.
If you feel sick 30 minutes after eating something, almost definitely you just ate a bit too much and your stomach isn't quite used to it. Or maybe you're slightly allergic.
My mom was bitten by a brown recluse and didn't know it until a few hours later when she was in the er. At 8months pregnant she started the morning being able to walk with a bit of pain, by 12pm she was in the ICU her leg almost having go be amputated due to her developing a neputizing fasulitis that was eating away at the muscle in her leg. Ended up having an emergency c-section, 4 years later and she's still not 100% but she is very lucky to have been able to keep her leg at all. Walking is still hard and her leg swells at random but it's better than the alternative
I think she's the type of professor who really gives great lectures but gives difficult exam questions lol. Still I would love to enroll in a class she would teach.

in finland we have this saying: "there are brave mushroom hunters and old mushroom hunters but no brave AND old mushroom hunters"
Wow so true
Not related to the phrase but this comment reminded me to continue learning Finnish 😅
That’s a super accurate and great, succinct way of putting it. This is why, before the modern spread of information, folklore was a thing.
I've always heard that phrase with the word bold. Probably because bold rhymes with old.
All mushrooms are edible. Some are only edible once.
Rule #1 when foraging for anything: Leave it be if you cannot identify it with 100% certainty.
In my opinion, taking kids foraging actually teaches them to not just put stuff in their mouths. We were never allowed to take anything if mum (or grandma) wasn't sure what it was. My mum has also taught us how to identify the poisonous stuff just as a precaution (like looking at the underside of a mushroom, looking for certain discolorations etc). It was tons of fun and I've loved foraging ever since.
I will never forget the time my boyfriend and i were walking through his schools field, when he saw a quaint little mushroom on the ground. I remember squeaking in terror as he folded over to put it in his mouth. He didn’t even pick it he just “ *slurp* “ I was less worried about it being poisonous and more worried about the fact it was in a school field where people, animals, and bacteria ran around all day but yeah he’s still alive.

"if you've been bitten by a brown recluse spider.. KEEP THE SPIDER"
My arachnophobia would be crying
Keep its smushed corpse, maybe, cause fam is getting STOMPED
i’m not afraid of spiders but even i was like “uhh i don’t think i will” when she said to keep it
Ikr! I don't think anything could save me because as soon as I'd see that it was a spider that bit me, I'd probably die of a heart attack..
Also, so glad that they didn't show a picture of what that spider looks like for those who don't know. I so often end up throwing my phone across the room when watching informative TH-cam videos
@@SMJSelena Its a brown, one inch spider with a sort of violin on its abdomen. Also, brown recluse bites won't kill you unless you're allergic. The problem with brown recluse bites is the fact that the venom can cause necrosis at the site of the bite, which could develop into sepsis if not treated with antibiotics, but the venom helps stop the necrosis.
On the other hand, It's really men that should be scared of this spider, because it can cause the pp painfully swell.
So if you're a girl, just go to the hospital, or at least have antibiotics on hand to kill of any potential infects after washing the necrotic wound. If you're a man, be ready for 4 hours of pain and possible permanent damage.
Remember, Black Widows have a more potent venom, and if you get bitten by one, HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY!
I'll keep the spider as long as they sift it out of my vacuum cleaner

I just want to say that I watched this video for the first time 2 nights ago (I've been binging the tech support vids), and when Anne discussed calling poison control for a suspected poisoning, I thought "eh, better write that number down just in case" and paused the vid to add it into my phone notes.

You are so interesting to listen to, your knowledge is fantastic.
I really loved how she read the question about the vitamin gummies 😂😂❤️.
Activated charcoal will also absorb any medications you're ingesting. So if you're on a prescription medication, don't take activated charcoal or it will neutralize it.
Just like birth control as well.
Grapefruit messes with meds too, it's v dangerous
What's Possum Reviews doing here?
Thanks for the medical advice Possum, when's the next review m8
Good to know. We have a real activated charcoal ingestion problem in our society. How am I going to take my meds now? I'm not giving up my activated charcoal habit one bit!!!!
Ugh when she schooled Kerry for being a Facebook mom scientist and shot the facts, ugh loved it.
Hahaha that was the best part. "Not necessarily.. Kerry"
Wait where did she do that I missed it and wanna see it 😂

The Visine information really shocked me. Entire video was helpful. Thanks for posting it.
surprisingly, these are some of the most entertaining episodes of Tech Support! she's very personable.
I had to call poison control when my dog ate all of his arthritis meds and the lady was SO NICE and incredibly helpful!
replying to add that i was concerned about inhaling it mostly bc i had gotten my tonsils removed like 3-4 days before that happened so i was scared it had a straight shot to my bloodstream
Lol dogs will eat anything
@@guillermococofrito9196 fr he also ate a tarp and a mask that same time…and the wall another time 😅 he goes in his crate now when we leave lol
Try feeding your cat just the one it’s supposed to take.
@@kellydalstok8900 I do feed my dog just the one he’s supposed to take- he gets really anxious when we leave and found the bottle.
As a follow up to the mushroom question, could we have a Mycologist do a video about mushrooms? Mycology seems to be growing in popularity these days, so I'm sure you can find enough questions for them to answer.
I was just gonna say the last question definitely needed an answer in its own vid and I could tell the specialist was like 😳 ‘we don’t have time for that’

Let's not. You can't learn enough in a video and people will think they did. Happens all the time. People need to talk to the locals
@@WeatherManToBe that’s so weird I thought we were all here to have fun while learning something, it’s almost like we’re here to watch videos we find interesting,,, hmm. Obviously anyone who wants to seriously get into foraging isn’t gonna use one video as their main source LMAO
@@rachelbear7262 Honestly, the best advice you can give someone about foraging for mushrooms is "don't." She's right--it's extremely easy for a novice to mess up and end up dead. A brief overview (of a single video) will *never* be enough.
I like her energy, part 2 please!
I bet she's so interesting to hang out with, like her knowledge may be slightly terrifying, but still fascinating! She also just gives off a pretty great vibe
"Here is a really easy way to [identify edible mushrooms]... if they're at a grocery store, you can eat it." ROFL
"Well first, you go to Taco Bell,"
This lady has got a good sense of humour
@@XCodes no fast food service is good so it’s really not a competition 🧍♀️
10:51 " KeEp TThE SpIdEr " made me chuckle 😹
This is my favorite series in all of the internet. WIRED kills it with these. Top tier content.
Something about the “Not necessarily, Kerry” has me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
It's like "Shut up, Karen", but polite.
She deserved it. Kerry has so much Karen energy.
Anytime someone talks about someone they don't know with a made up name (or, in this case, by their actual name) it's funny for some reason...
As an aspiring pharmacologist, its so cool being able to answer a lot of these questions with her.
Heyyyy im studying to be one too! well, will be soon enough >.>
I’m going to do biomedical sciences too! I start later this September
What a wonderful way to immerse yourself in a bit of fantasy/roleplay situations, and practice the things you've studied.
Tbf a lot of these questions are easy to answer if you're not an idiot.
@@dean5422 It’s not nescesarily about the questions themselves, it’s more about the explanations she gives.
This is actually very useful
OMG i love her, we need more
“Not necessarily, Kerry.” Savage.
I think Anne was being nice considering Kerry could potentially kill people with her wannabe "viral life hacks".
@@n67637 also it's just super cocky and rude to say "I just saved your life"
Yeessss....was looking for this comment. I can't stand ppl like that
@@adamnielson42 100000% agree
@@Masteralyssa twitter in a nutshell 🤷
If she wasn't a toxicologist, she d be a voice actor.
She s THAT cool.
definitely could see her as a voice actress for the mom of an anime protagonist
Actress.
Thank you, anne Chappelle for your answers + explaining why, in really logical and simple language!!! I think you're the BEST of experts in their field, who can make everybody understand your knowledge!!! WOW I adore you!!! You are so good!!! Thank you again, that is why I subscribed to your channel today (July 7th 2022) and I wish you happiness, good fortune and a healthy and long life! Please upload lots and lots of videos on this channel? Kind regards by a grateful viewer, Kathy van Bommel (Im living in the Netherlands, Europe)
I love her....she seems mean, but actually is really kind
My dad’s a toxicologist of almost 30 years. He used to tell me weird things about different poisons and stuff to frighten me for fun. He stopped after I told my friends what ricin was in 3rd grade.
Frighten you for fun? 😟
Haha parents really been like that :'D
My dad frightened me for fun too - he’s a paramedic. He used to tell me about horrific conditions and diseases.😆
He was not justfrightening you... he was educating you
😆
One of the best of these "Somebody answers questions" videos. This gal's got a really fun sense of humor and this advice is pretty damned important ("If you find a mushroom at the grocery store, you can eat it"--gold!). Bring her back for part two!
This is the professor that grades hard and their exams are difficult- but god if you pass them you are sitting on a goldmine of knowledge
this video was actually very informational. i learned some very important stuff :D
