i just sit there and wonder "could i have gone to school today"
currently thinking that
Homeschooled😂😂😂
I just came home from school. I guess I couldn't :(
Zoe Miller same
I’m sick during summer break
The list of what I do when I'm sick
1) go on TH-cam all day
2) not sleep
3) yell at my mom to get me things
4) act like I'm still sick the next day and not to go to school
5) eat junk food all day
I've gotten so sick that when I eat things I'll eventually vomit then I had to go to the hospital and they needed to see my vomit so I vomited while the doctor was talking
This is the truest thing I've ever read. I do this too 😂
When I'm sick:
1) Watch Yotube as I normally would
2) Sleep as I normally would
3)Get things myself, normal
4)Still go to school
5)Eat what I normally eat
Maybe drink tea more often.
Basically being sick isn't my excuse to cut my daily routine.
Yeah lol!! 😂
My mom tells me no electronics when I'm sick, but I usually sneak them anyway. I never eat and stay in bed. I only eat if my hunger gets super bad, and in that case I either eat a mini pretzel or tell someone to start some soup for me.
So much hot tea. Endless hot tea. Soothes the throat, warms you up, herbal calms you down.
All the time :D
When I'm sick I watch TH-cam… I'm doing that now… *cough*
Lol
Same haha!
6 Sick Myths. Hm, quite the tongue twister.
Same
ZambeCacti Princess | same:P
I have never heard that cough and sneeze in your hands myth, I always sneeze + cough in my elbow.
I know right same here but people around still do it 😡
Its so gross to think about :(
+Corbin Bishop It's what we were told as kids. Cover your mouth (with your hand).
dancepiglover schools say not to do that.they say into the elbow
Now they do, but not when I was growing up.
I don't usually get sick so I don't know what id do when I get sick but I think that's because my parents didn't raise me in a sterile environment "bubble". You guys should do a video on the effect of being raised in different environments and its effect on your immune system. Well thanks for reading this if you do great video :D
i was raised like that too and i'm basically never ill! but my dad was raised in a very "clean" one and he's never ill either so i'm pretty sure it's also genetics and not just environment, cuz my mum and brother are sick at least twice a year.
Surely it's got something to do with your current social/working environment, you could have a 'clean' upbringing that resulted in you being in a germ 'bubble' but if your out a lot socially or work in an environment with a lot of people I.e an office - sooner or later you will catch something of someone .... Unless your superman.
Sean Raynard i'm a student so i interact with a lot of people all the time, i'm constantly opening doors, touching stair railings, so i probably come into contact with a LOT of germs, and i have very questionable hand-washing-frequencies (whoops). whereas my friend has a super clean house and uses hand sanitiser every hour, and she's ill at least every other month. i say it's just genetics and i'm just very lucky. :)
I think they already did that video actualy
that would make an interesting episode!
Them- What do you do to make yourself feel better?
Me- Watch fail videos
lol yeah true
Laughing is healthy isn't it?
+Mathis yes
Who is watching this when your sick
Izzy Cox yes I have a bad case of binge watching
Izzy Cox me
Me ;-;
I'm genuinely sick too 😷 My throat is the first part of my system to get affected.
YOU'RE*
I wonder if anyone has a CUP of milk in their fridge instead of a jug or carton or whatever...
InterStella Maybe there was a little bit of milk on the carton so i guess they put it in a glass
Melannie Correa That sounds logical
InterStella Maybe they didnt want to waste milk
InterStella i have a bag of milk, im canadian.
Brendon Urie has lots of milk in a cup
AsapSCIENCE i cover my self in duck lard ostrich feathers and goats blood while dancing in perfectly symmetrical hexagon while sing my little tea pot backwards in Icelandic. then i take Airborne, zinc, c energy and orange juice.
i guess your dancing is really effective.
There's actually a lot of truth in this, I used a circle for the longest time but it's very hard to get right. Ever since I switched to the hexagon it has been a lot easier.
Great tip: if you can't get hold of Ostrich feathers, Emu feathers work just as well for most ailments.
I see how that could work, however I just stick to some good old voodoo-magic. Swinging a dead chicken over my head three times on the night of a full moon always does the trick.
Brandon Cochran Don't be stupid. That's the cure for herpes.
Tim Hempleman Aw you're right! The true cold remedy is sleeping it off. But you must sleep inside lion pens for maximum comfort.
I sneeze into my elbow so I can dab while I sneeze
I do that and people shun me but I can't resist.
I applaud you
Dabs are stupid
*claps* Amazing!
+graham eikenberry (kingsville2000) thank you thank you 😄😄😄
Having a mom helps when your sick
unless she's useless like mine
@@andrewjabr_ Same lol. Idk why I commented this like I had one lol.
I've never heard anyone say that people should sneeze into their hands. My whole life, people have always said to cover your sneezes with your arm.
i always hear it in the context that you should not sneeze on other people so you put something in front of your mouth/nose.
I honestly forgot how to sneeze in my hands. I mean I know how. But it feels weird
I automatically use my arm when I sneeze... Like as if it is now instinctual...
Unnecessary spacing provided by:
Absolutely Nothing...
Some people don;t hear shit and do it on instinct.
Geoffrey Brunell I either use my elbow or I pinch the lining of the neck hole of my shirt, pull it up over my mouth, and sneeze into that. It's all completely by instinct too so... * shrugs *
Who already bought the book? If you have, we think you're awesome and want to send out a HUGE thank you :)
I might
Oh my gosh i have that same brown teddy bear! I have two of them!
I loved your videos and I take soup to make me feel me better
AsapTHOUGHT I'm sorry guys I love you and im a fan but im not bout to type that long ass title in my Kindle and if i decide to its gone take awhile #lazyfan

yes
Ikrr

Really? I’ve never tried it.
When i saw it i was like "ew" but i was also like "mood"
Funny, I am sick right now
Sameee
Sicksquad
same here :( get well soon guys :)
Ive been sick for 4 days! AHH KILL ME NOW
Me too!
I can't exercise when I'm sick. I just get exhausted way too easily and can't lift worth a damn. Never thought of it as a bad thing when you're sick, but nonetheless, I can't perform well under an illness.
Not to mention, you already feel like shit so adding anymore stress on your body doesn't help. That's why I hate getting sick. Cuz I can't do shit. Hey that kinda rhymes!
lifting is not the type of exercise they are talking about lifting over exerts your body which is why you feel tired the mean play soccer football or even go on the trampoline
+garciagaltxa I don't think you understood my comment. I was saying that I hate being sick because I can't work out b/c I feel like shit.
***** Moderate not modern, so like jogging for 30 minutes or some jumping jacks.
I've been there bro, being so weak and the burning fever and constant head aches. But still you gotta get a little active man in encourages your body to produce more of your natural defenses that fight off infections.
What about sweating out the flu? Literally, what's the science on being under a bunch of blankets and sweating out the flu?
Zinervawyrm sweating out the flu who tought you that?
Zinervawyrm just have more rest and eat healthy when youre sick (even if youre not sick) eating healthy can help the immune system of your body (idk thats what i heard) and while youre having a good rest a huge battle between your immune system and bacteria/virus is happening. If the immune system wins then they would pretty much kill theirselves (except for memory cells) so i dont think sweating is the cure here
Increase in temperature is body's way of boosting immune system temporarily. Increase in temperature enables the white blood cells (cells of the immune system) in your bloodstream to move more rapidly, therefore they can reach the site attacked by the virus in shorter time.
My mom, and it always seems to work for me, of course, I also stay hydrated too.
Really? Cool, so it does have some scientific backing after all. Thanks.
3:01 the only good reason to dab
Usually when I get sick I just try to drink a lot of water, and do my best to just function as normal, which includes going to school, because with the way I get colds I would be out like once a month of I stayed home.
"Which includes going to school"
You are the worst kind of person :)
+Sasha S gotta say, that's even worse.
when i get sick (wich is often) i have to stay home cause i puke alot and my school restricts you from going to school within 24 of the incident
+Sasha S same
Recently just recovered from a cold virus and I've got to admit that watching films are a great way to pass time for our immune system to fight the unique cold virus.
Mitch and Greg! I am so incredibly proud of you two and happy that you're still putting out these videos. I know this one in particular is old but I am sick right now, and was googling remedies and such, and came upon it. I just saw that you guys have released a book, so I went onto Amazon right away and bought it :) Gotta support my fellow Gryphons! Congratulations on all of your success guys, your work is amazing! xoxo
Congrats for your book dudes! You guys are really doing great stuff for science and interesting content spreading :D Keep it up
Best remedy for me is to sit around watching youtube videos and playing video games...works every time. In fact, I think that method can be proven to be a good preventative method as well! (I'll start the testing now)
I do that every day
Dairy is disgusting. It's for babies, but cow milk is full of pus and blood. Do a video on this!
***** Not only that, but they filter it several times to remove the hostile components making it safe for consumption. Also, dairy is not just for babies, it's for everyone. As Tommy said, it contains many essential nutrients the most prominent of all being calcium. Although there are other ways of getting calcium, milk is one of the best.
Jo Blo just don't forget to have a steady amount of vitamin D. everyone always forget vitamin D when they say how good Calcium/milk is for you
I love milk, cheese, and yogurt.
I drink raw milk because it contains healthy fats and vitamins and minerals. it contains a lot of essential nutrients and tastes good
Raw milk would be the best, but it's still gross.
ASAP Science,you are so awesome!
In fact,this video helped me with my cold problem !
You guys are amazing! I was admittedly hoping for more outtakes ;)
1:01 Damn, how much money did you spend in TF2?
XD
Ninjawa _All_ of it.
Ninjawa that scene was made for TF2
LOL
Ninjawa Amount? Ghastly Gibbus.
I'm sick right now and all I'm doing is wandering around my house sitting somewhere random and watching TH-cam and playing ROBLOX and sleeping and eating some cookies 🍪🍪🍪
and turning the fans on and off covering me with heavy blankets
My Awesome Videos same XD
My Awesome Videos & Unsoundrook UR Finally! people who understand!!!
same lol
My Awesome Videos lol best
I just ordered your book and nice video!
I’m sick right now with a fever, aches, and a sore throat. I’ve been up all night balling my eyes out; until I watched you guys! This was very entertaining and it distracted me from it! Now if you’ll excuse me; I’m going to watch more of your videos...
When I'm sick I watch Supernatural. Crying (which regularly happens in the action of watching Supernatural) helps make your nose run, riding your nose of snot temporarily rids your nods of said mucus.
What about most people, humans, being generally lactose intolerant. I always feel inflammatory effects if i have *too much* dairy---which really is just more than once a week. I used to break out a lot on my back and face, and since reducing my dairy intake....i break out far less....and i also dont get much phlegm in my throat if i do come down with a little bit of a virus. so. i dont know about that one
If you are lactose intolerant you shouldn't have any dairy at all.
Jason Harris everyone is mildly lactose intolerant. some people are just severely lactose intolerant.
In reality though there are people that are so mildly lactose intolerant that it would be more accurate to call them lactose tolerant.
vanessa benoit no, that’s nonsense
this is still probably one of my favorite asapscience/thought video
Not only was this super helpful, but it was really funny, too! You guys are adorable :)
I got sick a day ago an now I'm desperate to heal asap, since I have a long flight on saturday ! People give me some good advices ! And yes I'm drinking tons of water !
Draw a small circle anywhere on your body. The virus cells will get curious and check it out, and get trapped inside the ring. All you have to do then is to wait for the while blood cells to come eat them up. Make sure to wipe it off so the white blood cells are freed, otherwise they clump up and die, forming a cyste.
(seriously, just drink lots of fluids and chill out, really isn't much else to do)
Tarudizer Wait.. what marker do I have to use? Is the color important? Are viruses color blind? Do white blood cells need to have a drink with their food? Should I put few drops of cola for them?
Thanks.. I was hoping for some garlic extract nose drops or something like that. Yes I'm ready for that extreme.
Check the latest ASAPScience video, they talk about food that really helps when you're sick.
During my last cold, I took a Vitamin C pill the first day I started getting symptoms and I've never had a cold go away faster. Only lasted about 2 days, if that. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but give it a try. Exercising also made me feel better. I don't know if it made it go away any faster, but the symptoms weren't as bad after I'd exercised.
Get tons of sleep and I and a lot of other like ginger, lemon and honey tea (basically all those ingredients + hot water); it seems to help.
I watch the asap channels when im sick
as a nursing student, all of this is entirely accurate! showering makes me feel the best when I'm sick, especially because nursing school is so hard it's not easy to miss one day. so a nice steamy shower makes me feel so nice. for a while I thought it was just me however, we learned in class that showers make everyone feel 10 times better when they're clean and fresh so bed baths and showers for mobile patients are extremely beneficial for the patients recovery.
this is so funny and it really helped me out. Thanks!🖒
I rarely ever get sick, maybe once a year or so, but whenever I do contract a virus I get very sick. To the point where my head is throbbing with a thought destroying migraine, and a sore throat bad enough to ruin my appetite. I usually just go about my business as I normally would though. Making sure to wash my hands and use hand sanitizer whenever possible. I also don't take any drugs to alleviate my symptoms. I always drink a lot of tea and coffee but I cut back on my coffee intake as much as possible whenever I get sick and try to drink more green tea and eat more foods that are rich in vitamins.
same here but when i get sick its usally the stumic flu
2:18 me as soon as I get home from school
I love you guys so much... hahah! Stay awesome! Trying to get well here.
Lmao I literally watched myth #3 part like 4 times! You guys are so funny. Happy to have found your channel today
I dirnk tea when I am sick.
It's spelled (drink)
Jonathan Martin me to
Jonathan Martin yea with honey and lemon it helps a sore throat temporarily
i drink tea always.
Uhh... dirnk?
It may be the Mexican in me talking but I really feel like drinking hot honey with lemon and rubbing vapor rub on my body truly helps when I'm sick!
vapor rub and 7 up for me, I'm part Mexican too
me too, but i'm from Nigeria.
YAASSS!
Christian lol what does this have to do with being Mexican? I always do this
my mom says not orange juice if I am sick
You guys are awesome.
You guys are so funny and informational at the same time how do you do it
1:06 his hat game is too stronk
*s t r o n k*
LotadLover 12 he was over exdatusting
*s tr o nk*
My mum read that putting an onion near you helps. So she gave me this onion to sit next to me... My brother came home a few days later and saw the onion... My mum didn't think about the fact that you have to cut it first 😂
You guys are so funny and great! I watch all of your vids.😜
got that book its great .i've read it about three times! :P when will you be making another one ? if you are.
Myth - colds are a winter thing... truth? the cold virus can only survive a fairly short time outside the warmth of the host, so in warmer weather it can survive longer and therefore stands a better chance of infecting a new host, so colds are just as prevalent in the summer, if not more common. Thoughts?
you smart!
I've heard you get more colds in the winter because people tend to stay inside more and have the windows closed preventing circulation so if someone has a cold it's easier to catch, whereas summer is the opposite.
People are indoors in closer quarters with the heat up incubating viruses during the winter.
Also like they said in their other video. Say that they were out side. The cold weather brings down ur immune system. So ur even more prevalent to get a cold then than in the summer
I drink chamomile tea with honey 🍯.
Amazing!!! Thank you
I love y'alls humor!
One time, I was sick, and I had a show coming up, so I was trying to rest my voice. My mom packed some Mac and cheese for lunch, and my friend was dealing out because I had dairy😂
2:10 How are the crisps and icecream them?
+Drycclia yeah it tastes tasteless :D
Loving the intro
You guys are such dorks. That's a compliment, by the way :)
I didn't know that the one about being most contagious before you show symptoms was false. I originally heard it from my mom, who is a nurse, so I assumed she knew what she was talking about.
I usually rest and read/watch TV/play games and drink lots of water. If I'm throwing up, I'll drink pop so I can have some calories and electrolytes that probably won't set off my stomach, as well as eat whatever mild food I can keep down. I also limit myself to one blanket to avoid driving my fever up. With colds, I usually just go about my business as much as possible. I only take medicine if I'm miserable or my fever gets high (101 or higher), or before bed so I can sleep, so that I can just fight it off and be done with it.
Warm milk, honey and garlic mixed together.
Latino magic.
OKNO. l know my family uses it sll the time
This works! Tastes like poop but works.
I smoke weed when sick. Makes me feel warmer, happier, and in a better mood.
Allanon I smoke weed when I’m sick with a little bit of bleach
tysm! I stopped doing the wrong things and became better!
When I'm sick I watch ASAPscience, it makes me feel a bit better
Im at home sick rn. And i laughed so hard at this omg
I take a bath in the hottest water that I can tolerate. I also don't take drugs (tylenol, sudafed) during the day. My rationale is that the drugs merely alleviate symptoms, but don't do anything to fight the infection, but the symptoms are the result of my body fighting the infection.
I will take drugs before bed if I'm having trouble falling asleep, though. Sleep is more important.
You two seriously make such a cute couple! Your interactions brighten up my day. :)
I'm sick you guys are life savers but what is worse is I have only been in school 2 days UGHHH that's a lot sister for giving me this cold
Avoid getting sick: stay away from all people, as well as areas frequented by them.
How does it feel to have predicted the future
@@6543sean Heh. One of these days I should see if there's still a sun in the sky.
2:10 me when I'm sick
Me everyday
I have a cold in my sinuses that has been giving me a sore throat from all the coughing. I hate how sweet honey is so I tried MOCHI to try a non dairy way to cope. Me likey. And now that I've seen your vid I'll be sure to indulge in ice cream next time. Love you guys!
2:40 THANK YOU. It drives me crazy to see people sneezing and coughing into their hands!
I make myself some chicken noodle soup. Always made me feel better.
I'm sick right now and I have no idea what to do PLEASE HELP!!🤒😷😷😷
That book cover..it kinda connects with me on the deepest level I cannot explain it..
you guys are too talented
2:16 OH MY GOD ME *Trisha voice*
i also get worried about the no dairy rule! yayyyy! milkshakes for all!
can i have one
sure lol
I never do. I LOVE MILK # VEGANS SUCK
I'm actually sick right now. Anyway when i am sick, I drink A LOT of tea and in the early stages of the cold, or whatever I have, I go for a run. I have heard that you can "sweat out" the germs and you can feel better faster. I swear to this. It always works for me. This time I wasn't able to because of the weather outside but I almost always do.
I do a type of yoga when I'm sick, it helps my body rejuvenate and feel clean and focused. It usually helps me a lot throughout the day. Please make a video on the benefits of yoga
Pretty cool! I've never heard the first one, but I guess that can be more of a cultural thing
I've never really heard it, but I know that I don't crave dairy when I'm sick.
IhaveWoodforSheep
me neither :)
I have, I remember my mom always told me not to eat ice cream when I was congested.
Yeah I hear it all of the time living on both sides of Canada. Lame times.
BLACKNEND
back home (Brazil) it was mostly about cold stuff, so ice cream was forbidden as well, but for different reasons :)
0:00 - Every single asian commercial EVER in 15 seconds..
you guys are awesome
i got the book and it is AMAYZING
2:10 me with food
When people don't cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough or uses their hands to cover it disgusts me
My grandmother has a trick for fevers she would do with my dad and uncle. She said it sounded mean, but she would fill the bath with cold water, which did cool them down very quickly.
Low key loving that intro
Subtle plug at the beginning. I almost didn't notice it.
Woah, this is so _sick_
I once went to a highschool where even if you had pneumonia you had to run the mile(in the cold morning block) and you weren't excused from that otherwise your grades went down so if you missed a mile you still had to make it up later. I'm pretty sure all that running and morning mist extended my pneumonia because I had it for like 2 months and ended up missing more school(and transferring)
I'm sick rn watching this nd that ice cream looks so good
When I'm sick, I drink bleach.
Çrescent sounds effective
They predicted Coronavirus in 2015
I watch your videos to make me laugh and smile
I drink lots of lemon water and eat a spoonful of local honey. I love your videos. You guys do an awesome job together. Thank you
The thing is, whether or not it's true, I personally believe that if my brain tells me "this will work" or "this will get me feel better faster" then I'll start to notice it actually working, even if it's just me imagining it... So... Good enough for me!

You rebel. I like you
0:41 I laughed my head off!SO FUNNY! Great video!
I really like your shirt! Where did you get it from?
