I now have the profuse desire to clean my coronary heart vessels with a pipecleaner
Lenny I know right
@G0Ji
Up your crotch or trough the armpit?
Just swing by your local feed&seed for some ivermectin. I prefer the green apple flavor.
That sounds extremely painful...
Big mood.
Heartworming to know meds exist for this.
*ba dmm tss*
I love you
Ohhhhh... :P
I wish I'd come up with that!
thanks i hate it

This guy is slowly evolving himself into a Smashmouth reboot.
Underrated
He looks like 2003

Lmao this made crack tf up
Will he eventually do a video about how humans could walk on the sun?
I would’ve done fine without knowing this
So why watch?

Forewarned is forearmed. You can't avoid dangers by not learning about them. I don't even know why we have that instinct for ignorance. Not just you as it seems to be a human reflex.

Well done SciShow! One of my Parasitology professors at the U of MD was the one who worked out the life cycle of D. immitis & also helped develope a treatment for Heartworn disease in dogs. He was an amazing individual.
Oh WOW!!!! I am legit excited by learning this!! Soooooo cool!!!!
@Oshe Shango First off, I am not "taking" it anywhere. Secondly, it was just an interesting fact that I thought some people would find interesting. Well, except for you I guess.
@@sapelesteve I found it super interesting. Some people prefer to not ingest information.
good lord that title is like anti-clickbait
click-repellent
???
Yet here we are,
I don't mind spoilers
@@thstroyur For education, I agree. For fiction, I don't like spoilers. But if it can't still be enjoyable with spoilers, then I hazard to say it's not really that good.
Magneto was beat by a wooden gun.
Imagine just doing a routine x-ray and (surprise, surprise) your entire heart is just a single, large tumory mass of worms
And your blood is worms, your organs are worms... the doctors scream and flee in terror as you split into a million wriggling forms.
Look at that, now we know how Eldritch horrors are born
@@waterunderthebridge7950 A very minor villain from a Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode. I really wanted that character to be more of a threat than he was.
That would certainly be lethal. But imagine an M.E. opening up someone on the autopsy table to see the heart explode into worms. I suppose real M.E.s have seen worse.
You have been watching too much X-Files my dude
hold up, parasites in the lungs? Wolbachia? METAL GEAR SOLID V
Reference found. 😉
Was looking for this comment here have a like
So, this raises the question of why people’s immune systems are so good at dealing with worms? I could be wrong, but it seems to me that humans are LESS good at handling bacterial and viral infections in comparison.
Maybe because humans evolved in tropical regions, where worm parasites are more common?
DrD0000M
That could be it. I wonder tho why it seems like people are MORE susceptible to bacterial and viral infections than dogs and cats tho
The human immune system isn't generally better or worse, it's just different than that of a cat or dog so it's better at some thing and worse at others. House pets don't often congregate with other members of their species the way humans do on a daily basis, which I presume would decrease their rates of infection.
In general human immune systems are very good at dealing with invaders. The issue is that certain microbes are adapted specifically to attacking humans or have tumbled across a good general strategy. If you stand on a rusty nail more than a thousand types of bacteria, vriri, fungi and other creatures will invade your body, nearly all we be gone in hours. Only those who have our immune systems figured out in some way (Looking at YOU tetanus.) have a chance. (And even then often only once before we get immunity.)
I'd recommend looking at Kurzgesagt's video on ebola which shows the many steps the virus takes specifically to shut down mammalian immune systems.There the human immune system falls to elaborate sabotage rather than incompetence.
Fun fact: nicotine is poisonous to insects, so smokers are extra protected against worms.

Damned Wolbachia! Some of my best men spoke Kikongo!!!
*cries in all units leveling down at least 10 levels because of an incapability to finish metallic archaea*
@@sleipnirpemolspa2287 I 100% the game and only am lacking the FOB unlocks. I suggest LMG, your usual stealth suit (Whichever one grants you increased healing speed) and DD.
Explossives will hurt you more than them and are too slow so their armor regens, you may also kill code talker.
You're unlikely to have armor piercing shotguns at this point though they work well too.
Quiet is useless even if you have the sinful butterfly as she does NOT auto-target skulls EVER.
Battle dress barely reduces damage taken and it's better to have faster movement and healing instead.
Just run around and try to get them 1 at a time then unload on them like a lunatic, kiting them around the hangar is a good idea as it reduces their usability of thrown rocks and even underground pillars.
I'd record a go through to demonstrate but sadly my gaming pc dieded so I'm stuck in a poopy rig that can't run MGSV. Good luck Boss! o7
@@godqueenbidoof I finished the mission long ago when I found out that D-walker with a minugun worked well, but that was after 2 days of play time making me lose a lot of good men. Though I'll try your strat and if it's faster I'll definitely use it because nowadays metallic archaea is a GMP grinding mission for me
@@sleipnirpemolspa2287 Well if you find out which language they all have in common and yeet everyone speaking that language off motherbase you don't lose anyone afterwards. (Well until the most heart wrenching mission in the game) I never used D-walker so I wasn't really comfortable with him, probably why that worked poorly for me. Glad you're not stuck after years!
I work in a natural food store with the pet stuff. It is extremely difficult for me when someone wants a 'natural' treatment for heartworm. I try to explain to them the dangers of not treating ahead of an infection and poor efficacy of so-called 'natural treatments' for live infections. I usually end with suggesting they talk to their vet and if they don't have one I suggest my vet. My hope being that if they know a natural food store worker goes there they'll consider going there too and get real treatment for their pet.
I do this with vaccines, flea and tick treatments and bobcat fever too. I've gone out of my way to have information, not fear, to give them.
4:08 "Dogs get the short end of the stick." 😂
That's why it's the cats plain for dogs to get heartworms so we can get prepared to rule the world.
3:07 Vocal chord.... Parasites
Wolbachia is real?
METAL GEAR
I honestly thought Kojima made it up. Nah, he just made up what it does, the actual species itself is real and very different.
well researched. awesome. Great work!!!! setting an example for your collegues!
Well that's comforting...

What a heartWORMing episode! Gives me the warm-and-fuzzies.
*worm-and-fuzzies
Came here to say the same thing.
Really helpful, thank you for sharing.
1:24 Anyone else think of zefrank? "Stabby stabby."
I was just watching offtheranch yesterday and thought about this very thing.
Fun fact about Wolbachia!
Wolbachia male-embryo-killer caused over 90% of Acraea encedon butterflies to be female. This caused them to evolve lekkiing behavior to attract males. This is very different from close relatives of Acraea encedon, where the males lek to attract females. Even then, many females in these populations are virgins.
Shout out to Sci Show. I just showed this video to a client at work (I am a vet assistant). It explains Heartworm so concisely. I have it bookmarked now so I can give people a little visual information when they ask why their pet should be on Heartworm Prevention.
Wolbachia. Vocal cord parasite.
Eyes on Kazuhira
happy new year
Another heartworm fact people should be aware is that the heartworm will only develope in the mosquitoes when the surrounding environment is at a certain temperature for a certain length of time. Which is why you tend to not see heartworm infections in colder areas of the world. But due to a rise in global temperatures heartworms are starting to become more prevalent in areas where they previously were not. So even if you live in an area that has a history of low heartworm cases, I would look into how the statistics are changing in regards to that. Also cats can get heartworm too. Unfortunately though while they do have a different response then humans and dogs it is still an unsuccessful response. Basically their immune system solves the issue of the invader in the house by burning the whole house down.
Can't to unsee the title.
Ugh, parasites are the worst!
This was great! Sure, horrifying and disturbing but really in depth and cool
okay but that thumbnail is amazing I love dogs
Welp, they could be worse, could be carrion crawlers.
My concern is that people have recently been trying to inoculate more mosquitos with Wolbachia to stamp out malaria because its presence inhibits the parasites. Does this mean greater chances of heartworm infections due to more widespread Wolbachia-infected mosquitos, providing filarial worms with more chances to have bacterial assistance to infection?
Fascinating, but horrifying.
Does the twitch shirt mean anything ? SciShow on Twitch Pog ?
Worms, alright. Hearts, vital organ. The combination? Nothing good can come of it.
I appreciate this kind of spoiler!
Im a simple man, I see dog in video I click
So what is the mosquito's most endearing feature?
Read this as heart _worn._ I would have never clicked this otherwise.
Imagine getting heartworm.
People With Weak Immune Systems: Okay. Time to eat freaking fruits!
I'm glad.
They fly now?!
They fly now.
That's true for all disease spread by mosquitoes
Oskar Persson Yup. They fly now
@@limiv5272 Could you imagine if HIV/AIDS infections could be spread by a mosquito? Thank goodness there's a few exceptions.
Nothing a little knife to the heart won't fix.
MGS PHANTOM PAIN
Cats get heartworm, too...
This is the kind of topic to begin the morning with 😂, thanks pbs
The thumbnail artist deserves an Oscar.
4:26 Thankfully I'am a Deer
My dad never took care of my dog's health, so when I moved out and took her, I spent hundreds of dollars on her treatment and just came short of having to spend thousands more. She'll always be a little sick, but she managed to pull through and can live a regular life now.
@Oshe Shango I was a child, I didn't know, and I don't think he knew either.
I hope my dog is not infected with this one he is really showings symptoms of it plus its mosquito season
I like the dogtor in the thumbnail
SciShow ruins my day with SCIENCE!!! lol
thanks you just developed a new phobia in me
Secondary question, are people affected with AIDS more likely to get heartworms?
@@sneedmasters this is really old but op has a weakened immune system so he has a higher risk of getting it
Well this is horrifying...
yes this is just what I needed to know at 2am
Yeah I'm pretty sure I have this. I already know I have pinworms, but now I feel some mass in my heart area, and I also rarely feel something move in my chest that nearly knocks me out. I took this paraguard by zahler and mumica pudica seed (to kill the larger ones), and once I did this and took a dump then went in the shower, My left chest area went completely numb and so did my left arm, I was thinking of even calling for my dad it was that intense, any suggestions, guys? Thanks
Wolbachia?
*MGSV Intensifies*
it's like looking at a young neil degrass tyson
He shares about as much likeness to Neil Degrasse Tyson as a Tyson Chicken Nugget....
so am I crazy or did they not answer the question?
he said that the symbiotic bacteria encourages a TH1 response so the worm can thrive, but never said how the human immune system counteracts this. did I miss something?
I feel like I got invited on a date and left with the check ;-;
I've never been so proud and thankful to be a human
don't jynx yourself because you might be a dog in the next life.
@@dan78789 I got really proud to have that kind of immune system!
Im gonna go and get myself checked by a vet for heartworm disease
Twitch.
Is not possible just give to the dog the T2 thing to fight the bacteria ?
You guys didn't say it scary enough. Risk of death never gets a pet owner to buy preventive meds.
Look, it costs about $50-$80 a year to purchase preventive heartworm meds for your dog. Heartworm treatment, if your dog ever tests positive for heartworm, ranges from $2000-$8000 dollars and takes about 6-8 months to treat. The dog may even pass away from an autoimmune disorder brought about by the meds needed to treat the heartworm. At which point you would've spent about $2000-$4000 already. Prevention is the best way to ensure you're dogs never gets heartworm.
At every second I regret more strongly clicking
you are unlikely to get worms in your heart from your doggo... but worms still can permanently settle in ANY of your organs. Eyeballs, for instance.
I notice you wearing a Twitch shirt. Do you have a channel for you guys or are you just supporting Twitch?
A+ thumbnail
This is great
Oh, damn nematodes!
Nope nope nope no way in hell I’m watching this
Im a LVT & just wondered this the other day. I was thinking maybe we have bigger blood vessels & just pumped them out fast. Lol.
What about the THC responses
Thank you Michael. I am now more cat person
Wolbachia... metal gear
Please have your dogs on heart worm prevention! I worked at a vet and saw poor dogs suffering from such a preventable thing.... 😢 It’s more important than vaccines, yet some people will pay for those but not heart worm prevention.
How do in get the best value on the meds and what options are there?
Probably because they aren't looking for heart worms in humans.
Will heartworm still be destroyed even if you have HIV/AIDS? Or will the immune system fail to attack it?
Wolbachia is helping promote COPULATION??
Ahhh A parasite with a parasite. That becomes trickier. Interesting.
Dog-tor
It explained how they trick dogs immune systems, but not why human immune systems aren’t as affected by the bacteria’s trickery.
And this is why I vaccinate my dog and get all the preventative care for her
So the heart worms did not infect the heart but the lungs? My dog was put down in 2014 with lung cancer now I am thinking maybe it was heartworm because all the vet found out is the fluid accumulation in the lungs that caused the dog difficulty to breath.
No, they set up shop in the heart, hence their name. The lung part is talked about because that's where it's mostly found in humans when the "coin lesions" are found. Most heart worm infections are treatable with modern medications but the best thing to do is keep your animals on prevention year round and do routine testing because medications do not work 100% of the time!
1941?! That was practically yesterday 😬😰 shuts all windows. Bad barks.
0:56 excuse me what?!
What about the vh1 response?
Tells heartworm is quite impossible
Me:oh okay that's relief..
But we do have other worms..
Me:Aww come on!! How's that gonna make me feel good in any way!?
Hell to the NAH
NAH NAH NAH HELL NAH
as a dog owner, I feel something wrong with my heart after watching this (I might be overthinking and it could simply be me eating irregularly tho)
No pets less problems!?!?
anyone getting itchy?
Nobody wants to be that #121 so buy my insurance today just to be **sure** you're not that #121 person. Also I would like to know is SciShow sponsoring twitch?
So a worm with a bacteria in it that travels via mosquito's to infect dogs, can infect humans. Smoart.
And said humans travel inside a plane along with their dogs to spread the worm with the bacteria in it all over the world.
So *that’s* why my heart feels funny around this one girl!
