@@GlorifiedGremlin the solution is simple. More trees and plants in cities, plus cities should be for people, not for cars or vehicles (looking at you the US).
I had to stop watching the show awhile back. I would feel exhausted afterwards. it felt like watching someone being tortured, even though they chose it.
Dr. Mike! Chest compressions saved my cat! 🥺 A few days ago, she suddenly collapsed, went stiff, and wasn't breathing. When I checked her pulse, she had a faint heartbeat and I immediately did chest compressions until she started moving and breathing again. We brought her to the vet and turns out she has pneumonia. Less than an hour into the examination, she could stand again. She's doing OK now, and I'm just so amazed by how chest compressions brought her back. Thanks, Dr. Mike!
But if she had a faint heart beat then that means she wasn't "gone" and you're only suppose to do chest compressions if there is NO heart beat at all... the chesst compressions might've helped but definitely not the way you think 😅
@@biancajc no you do need to do it even if there is little to no heartbeat. I am CPR certified. A small pulse and no breathing can easily have led to brain damage for the cat. They did the right thing.
I get stuff like going out with tools and trying to survive as long as possible. But going out with no clothing, food, or anything? Sounds like a nightmare. Especially in the type of environments that these guys have to try to survive in.
For the one at 5:55 Me and my dad watched this scene- For context, the girl had a ton of training with a machete, and knew what she was doing. The guy basically got super embarrassed cause she was doing way better than him, and tried to show that he could be helpful, too. They had to pull him off the island, and the girl basically walked on her own, all the way to the pickup area
The soldier ants thing is actually a thing still practised in a few countries. They bite down on your skin, you cut the rest of the body off and the head stays attached, biting on your skin. Basically, they're DIY stitches.
I remember one very early Naked & Afraid there was a big navy dude, very prepared, strong, knew what to do. There was only one problem, they were left on an island, on a very, very hot weather, and he was from the Baltics. In a a few hours he was all burnt and messed up by it
As an emetophobic, I appreciated the vomit warning before that one clip 💀 Still have no idea how people can go on shows like this, eating random fruit you find outside is never a good idea. Great video as always, Doc!
Me too, I came here to say the same thing! He gave enough time to turn the volume down and block the phone screen with my hands. I’m glad I’m not alone.
if they got a medic there, why didnt she treat the god-awful sunburn? It's also funny to me how we see someone fainting, face-plant themselves on the ground and the only thing we could think of is ask "you alright?" -- DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M ALRIGHT? lol
When the sun burn become apparent and that bad. She should of been pulled off the island. Because she wasn’t only sunburnt but the cycle was repeating every time she stepped out of shelter.
Right? The girl basically dived face first on the ground like a doll with broken strings and the guy asks if his obviously passed out partner is all right, it was also his idea eating that questionable food, a bad ally is worse than an enemy
@@hypercrow9563 some of the stuff on this show was a little “production “ But some these injuries should of seen them pulled by a doctor especially the heat stroke, the sun burn and the infected body parts..
It's possible it's our knee-jerk reaction to confirm If they might still possibly be alive? I mean that obviously will cause worry and your brain can just go "We need to get a response, any verbal response means they can be ok! they totally didn't just die on me!"??
@@EraidFreefire In first aid, the best thing is to get a response anyway we can and it helps tell us that this person didn’t just kneel over and die on us.
THANK YOU TO THE EDITOR FOR THE VOMIT WARNING. People put trigger warnings on everything BUT vomit it seems like. As someone who is super sensitive to that kinda thing I really appreciate the warning! I've never been warned about it in videos before.
just want to say a very large THANK YOU to the editor for the warning before the people threw up! i truly appreciate that i can know your videos are safe to watch as someone with emetophobia ❤
The ant head-suture thing is actually something several cultures used to do. Usually, it was species like driver and army ants, but if a person is feeling particularly bold, bullet ants will work. Speaking of ants, I highly suggest reacting to some of Coyote Peterson's bite/sting videos. Those are pretty wild.
@@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686 well, nobody's perfect. And he has done videos in the past owning up to being wrong about things, so at least he sees the opportunity to learn and grow.
@@anasazidarkmoon How about he do some research or giving people the benefit of the doubt instead acting like people are inherently stupid for trying to use natural ideas or remedies. Had he given a little credit for it actually working it wouldn't have been so bad. He always talks like he's an expert on everything medical and he's not.
I have a friend that has a pretty nasty allergic reaction to sandflies specifically. She swells massively within seconds of getting bitten, the pain is really bad, and if not treated immediately with hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointment, she WILL get infections and then hyperpigment in the spots.
This is a “fried chicken mushroom”: it’s poisonous This is a “Cheeseburger mushroom”: do not eat it This is a “Hawaiian pizza mushroom”: it’s actually fine
I feel like knowing more about the human body and how dangerous these places are can be quite terrifying if you have to go to such places and survive without any equipment
Part of the challenge is that they go without even basic clothing and shoes. That makes it like 10x harder. Even if you'd wear some jeans, a shirt and some worn-out shoes, you'd already be quite a lot better off.
@@hasoonnine Point is that it isn't about particular survival gear. Rather basic clothing that you'd wear in all circumstances. Not wearing pants for example creates a big problem with UV and bug bites. Normale legs and torso would have basic protection. The shortness of the challenge also means there is little point in trying to create any of these items. It really is just about the pain of plowing through not having these items.
@@4Curses If you ever watched the show, you'd realize that shoes made from these materials last about as long as they take to make. Some contestants tried that. Realized it's not worth the effort. Sometimes they prepared one or more pairs of shoes for the final leg of the challenge, and otherwise avoided walking where it is too painful, for example at noon in full sunshine. The only ones that had longer-term success with shoes were those that had either duct tape or animal skin/hide available. Which only very few contestants had. But shoes made from grass or leaves are just garbage, and will barely last a whole day, let alone most of the challenge.
Of course I’d heard the title of the show but I’d not thought about the consequences that would carry. I just can’t believe that is a tv show. It seems so dangerous. Some of those injuries will affect those people for the rest of their lives
I feel like mushrooms are very much a no-go in a survival situation. Even if it's literally the only food you can find for some weird reason, unless you're like, two+ weeks into it without having eaten anything I very much doubt they're worth the risk considering how freaking dangerous and difficult to accurately identify they are. Like, you can go a REALLY long time without food, but without kidneys, well, you're down in days, not weeks (and kidneys are one of the organs certain mycotoxins are known to damage)
Well, that is unless you live in one of the countries where mushroom foraging is a very popular autumn activity and every other five-year-old knows how to identify edible and inedible mushrooms.
That incident really shows how past generations had to experiment and test what was fine or not. Bob found God, Jane found tasty ones Jack found the deathy ones. Thanks Jack, you're a hero.
So true! I live in Norway, and here I know 3 safe mushrooms that I feel safe picking. But I would never pick these in other countries, because that can look a lot like other mushrooms that we don't have in our country. Here lots of people, specially eastern europeans get severe food poisoning each year here because they are used to picking a safe white mushroom in their home country, but when comming here they pick amanita virosa thinking it's the same safe one, but it's one of the most dangerous mushrooms we got here in Norway.
My ecology professor gave the same survival tip about the ant heads. He's used them himself and spent so much time in the field he discovered a new species. It really is something that can be done.
Hi Dr. Mike, I have a suggestion again! I'd be interested to see your interpretation of / reaction to the BBC sitcom 'Quacks'. It's a short series following 4 Victorian-era medical practitioners - a surgeon, his wife (who wants to become a doctor), a dentist/early anesthesiologist, and an 'alienist' (early mental health professional). There are some fascinating things regarding late 19th century medicine, from the (public!) operations, to the instruments, to the philosophies regarding health!
I get that the concept of naked and afraid is that they have almost nothing including clothes, but are they not allowed to fashion body coverings? That sunburn was ridiculous. The first thing I would do in a situation like that would be to cost my whole body in mud and leaves. No sunburn and it keeps most of the biting insects off.
Thank you for the "vomit warning". I love your videos and I appreciate your editor for doing that. Seeing/hearing people vomit is a bad trigger for me and makes me want to also.
It was nice to hear some real medical explanations for different conditions on this show. Some of the things they say on this show make me want to jump through the screen, and correct them! Lol This was my first time watching your channel, and I’m sure I’ll check it out further. As a former ICU/ER nurse it’s great to hear some things set straight
I used to watch this show but after awhile the injuries started bothering me, lol this was hard to watch! I felt bad for the lady who got bug bites. I get eaten alive in the summer and sometimes the bites get infected. Sometimes the itch is unbearable. Also the poor lady with the sunburn, I can’t imagine that pain! Thank you for another great video!💜
No, you don't understand, Matt was the nicest guy in that entire season! He basically took everyone under his wing and people saw him as a kind leader. And he did really really well on the show. And then he stepped on a thorn, got an infection and had to be evacuated.. The way he went out was so upsetting. I really wanted him to win.
The bullet ant jaw suture is actually a commonly used technique by jungle natives 😄 obviously when you’ve been born and bred things may work better for you, but for someone who’s body is used to being clean and protected…it’s a recipe for sepsis 😂
As someone at an increased risk for skin cancer due to my sensitivity to the sun and numerous sunburns as a result of that sensitivity I always cringe when I see people with really bad sunburns like that because despite my sensitivity I’ve only really had a couple of burns that got close to that and I do everything I can now to prevent it from ever happening again but it still gives me the painful sensory memory from my own experiences and I hate it, ugh.
Same here, i burn incredibly easily, even with protection. Before i learned better i had some nasty sunburns that I still remember the pain of to this day, ugh 😣
Survivor was one thing. THIS is...😔. Oh and the ant bite therapy is legit. I remembered seeing something similar in a documentarynyears ago and being fascinated. I mean, some hospitals use certain bugs to eat off dead skin. Also, those bananas are too young. We grow and eat green bananas regularly and those are too young for consumption.
About the mushrooms In Norway, some years ago, there was a story about an entire family who destroyed their kidneys because they ate poisonous mushrooms. According to the news they all got admitted to the waiting list for a transplant and will be on dialysis treatment until then... That taught me to only eat the kinds I know well!
It was Cortinarius rubellus, which is super common to mistake for chanterelles when you're not experienced. I'm guessing people just get so hyped, thinking they've found "the gold of the forest" that they forget to double check that what they picked is what they think they picked.
I always enjoy watching you reacting to these type of shows.I will never understand why people will put themselves physically through such scary situations,and all for money.each to their own I guess...great medical insight as always👌💗
I think there are some people who think they need to do this kind of thing in order to have some philosophical epiphany or spiritual awakening. However, I can have deep thoughts in the comfort of my own house, so I never understood going out to extremely wild places and risking your life just for some introspection. You can question the purpose of life in A/C as well as in the arctic circle. 🤷🏻♀ The physical and social isolation, and lack of distractions, can help, but again, you can do that stuff alone in a house or hotel room or wherever within driving distance of medical care. It's like when people go out west or to South America to "find themselves". You don't find yourself in the desert or rainforest; you find yourself within. The setting hardly matters. Nature is beautiful but there isn't really a need to risk losing a whole arm to a simple cut. Even cavemen knew better than to try to survive alone. Humans have always needed a tribe/community/society to survive long-term. Also, constantly focusing on how you will get food is not really conducive to deep thought, imo.
thank you for the vomit warning, it’s better now but when i was a kid i literally would be like. mentally off for hours if i saw anything like that. it’s appreciated!! i love this show so it’s rlly cool seeing you react to it!! i’d really like if you did more of survivor injuries! Survivor is such a good show
I love how Doctor Mike can immediatly explain everything. We have one hospital in my city and everyone I know (myself included) who has Bern there has at least once went Out without a diagnosis or sending to a specialist ect.
I mean he either A: selects only incidents to watch that he knows about or B: selects the most interesting thing and then does some research before filming
5:15 it's Banana Mike, I can confirm I'm from a tropical country. First they grow a Huge cone shaped bud, size of a coconut, they have layers like Onion. After a while flowers pop from these layers and eventually turn into Bananas like the one's the video n then your regular Banana. Also after growing enough Banana, the bud will fall out.
@@deebestest100 Yeah instead they should've looked for the bud, that may have fallen out. It's edible and if they're lucky there'll be flowers and they've sap in it. Or simply chop the banana tree, it's fleshy, chop and slice em into little pieces, boil it and you could eat em like salad. It's a delicacy in my country
@@catastrophic666 oh that’s interesting! I know that the bud can be eaten but I didn’t know the tree itself was edible. That’s really nice to know 😌 do you mind saying what country?
There is a medical TV show that is on it's last season this year, which would be great for you to review next it is called Doc Martin, it's a British comedy drama, he was a vascular surgeon, but becomes a GP (family medicine Doctor same as you), the show is medically accurate, and to top it off it is hilarious.
I felt like I wanted to know more about why the woman collapsed after throwing up from the "bananas"... it just kinda cut from her collapse to the next person without any kind of closure about what they actually ate, why it wasn't okay to eat, and what her actual diagnosis was.
She passed out from dehydration. The bananas we’re not ripe yet so they are all starch and their stomachs can’t handle that after not eating for awhile and not drinking enough. She’s was ok. 😊
You know how to lure me back to the channel! My favourite is "how they can diagnose if they exposed themselves to everything, sleeping on the ground in ants next to poison ivy". It is basically what this show is. I miss some comment about a participants' comparation before&after, how those rapid changes affects body. But I like this episode anyway. Thank you!
You should honestly react to an episode of Kings of pain lmao. It’s a show about how a wildlife biologist and an animal handler get bite by a bunch of different animals so they can create a pain index to potentially save people.
That’s the reason we have a scale for how much different bug/insect stings pain levels are. A guy went around and got bit by everything and wrote a list lol. It’s called the Schmidt Pain Index!
Best mushroom foraging advice I ever got. Always cook your mushrooms. If you get a poisonous one then it will make you less sick if cooked, but even the non poisonous ones can have poisons on them and can still make you sick. People will also react differently to various mushrooms. I do believe they said there's only really one mushroom we know of that will flat out kill you and it was in either Africa or Asia, I don't remember exactly
i still appreciate you so much for the fact that you do the vomit warnings, it makes me able to watch these without fearing that someone is gonna get sick at any moment
I learned about those ants in entomology class! Their bites are painful but they're great to use as stitches when you don't have anything else available because they bite and hold on
Thank you for putting the vomit warning as someone with emetophoba(the fear of vomit) it saved me from a potential anxiety episode and sadly I do not see those warnings enough in videos…. I even just gagging triggers reactions from me so again thank you so much.😊
WElL... after such a *brutally* disturbing video (which I though enjoyed), I'm sure we all need some laughter. My suggestion, Dr. Mike, is that you react to Tom and Jerry. It will definitely be a hilarious and great video! Love you.
Hi, person with *intense* emetophobia here. I thank you so greatly for giving a vomit warning, I don't see much around in other stuff I see nowadays. THANK you! 👍✨
Hey Dr. Mike. I love your videos. I'm wondering though if you've ever done a video on a fear of Doctors (I think it's called White Coat Anxiety or something like that). Meaning my daughter has such bad anxiety of going to the doctors, they can't even get vitals on her because her blood pressure soars. I was once told (when she was 11) to just tell her not to be scared. Genius response. Never thought of that (SMH). She's 19 now and knows that it's an irrational fear but still has a hard time. We would love to see a video on that and what can help.
My SO and I are Naked and Afraid addicts! I've seen all those episodes! Cracks me up that Gary was on 2x and neither were his worst! 🤣 This was so good!! Thank you for making it!!!PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE!! There is an unbelievable wealth of injuries to comment on! EJ getting his scrotum ripped open when a tree branch broke! Got stitches in the field!!! The poor trans person who accidentally got their nipple ripped off while using a bow and arrow! As a woman, I cringed so bad!! That had to be awful! Gary, the guy you had on 2x, he put alligator or was it croc or cayman eyeballs ON his own eyeballs!! Seriously! It's absolutely endless!!
@@mrblack5145 yeah, kind of. They drew the bow, released and it caught their nip! Literally ripped it halfway off!! Medic came and stitched it back on!! S14 E3 Air date 3/6/22 It's actually a really interesting episode. It really shows how much difference hormones make in the transition. I have to admit, it's serially impressive that this person knew they would have to stop hormone therapy to be on the challenge. I'm impressed with their mental fortitude, dealing with such a swing. Also of note, it highlights the fact that one can never literally change their gender.
@@amandawade8003 that's commitment to say the least, the thought of an injury like that is enough to make my toes curl. How someone knew enough to make a remotely functional bow in the bush but not know how to draw it safely is.. well.. reality TV I suppose. Thanks for the reference, I am gonna have to see how that even happened. And I feel like the gender thing is shockingly obvious.
@@mrblack5145 They didn't make that bow and arrow in the field. They're allowed to bring 1 personal thing that'll benefit themselves and their team in their attempt to survive. In this person's case, they brought their bow and, I believe 5 metal tipped arrows. Matt Wright was in this video with the toe cellulitis. That's all he ever brings is his own archery set. He's a legit expert.
Naked and afraid is so ridiculous. You should react to alone, the producers do is nightly message them if they're okay and the contestants have set responses they can respond with l, and then like a month or so in they have regular check ups because of the lack of food and the cold etc etc.
@@a_potat Well the crew for Naked and Afraid is there, so they probably do/are healthy pretty much all the time. On alone they have a receiver and they're able to press a button and get help, if they miss a check in the crew comes, and if they come for a medical check later in the competition and you're not in your base then they search for you
As a person who lives 29 years in Baltic sea area, in cottage between river and forest, i literally have so mutch fun watch people going nuts when i show them how to pick berries, mushrooms, go fishing, farming, 🤭 Pick herbs for medicine, and when i was little, catching wild duck or rabbit wasn't illigal, so, dinner ready 😀 i woul survive in europe forests pretty well, cuz i lived there for most of my life.😀 So sooo mutch fun give someone from city that wildlife/cottage expirience.
ok as someone who lives in the Caribbean (St Luica) it hurts me to see how non-island people think ,feel, and treat green bananas i mean yeah you dont know but like really
I love how in all my years of being an avid daily watcher of youtube videos of all kinds (From professional use to social use), this is the first video where youtube had to give me a warning notification asking if wanted to watch this graphic content 💀 [I’m on my phone. I’m used to seeing the age-rated notification on browser but this the first time getting a notification in my phone I had to tap yes to lol]
Honestly, sometimes it's good to watch shows like these so that we learn to appreciate how amazing modern society and modern medicine are. It also especially highlights the idiocy of the "Oh, but it's NaTuRaL" folks, whether it be people who insist tap water is "dead" and they need "alive" water (AKA unsterilised) or those who think you can replace those nasty chemicals and vaccines with oils and prayer.
I love the way you explain everything so well! As a med student i love your content and just like your energy!! I wanna know if you have any advice for me! Take care Dr. Mike, stay incredible as always
Wait, leishmaniasis isn't that serious? I remember some (possibly grossly exaggerated) story about someone getting an infection on their feet then having their face eaten off a decade later when the larvae hatch in their soft tissue. I'd love for you to do an episode on tropical infections- including Dengue, Malaria, TB (as they're especially ignored in the first world).
I love Dr Mike videos, but I have to say it annoys me when he sort of criticises people for asking "are you alright?" when something's clearly wrong. It's the first thing you're taught to do when handling a first aid - even if you can see that they're definitely not alright, you have to ask because a) you can assess how bad it is based on their response, b) it makes sure they're conscious, responsive and mentally engaging with you for follow-up questions and c) it's the decent human thing to do.
Hi Doctor Mike! I hope you do some content on Long COVID. Although it has gotten more media attention in recent months, I still feel the average person does not understand how devastating this condition is for so many. I also hope you can touch on ongoing research into treatments, and in particular why research into anti-virals as a treatment is so slow to get off the ground. (Love your channel
8:22 it depends if it’s a swarm of if it’s a few bites. The sensation feels like pinching it’s different then a radiating pain. And when the itching begins the constant irritation to the surface causes them to feel pulse like but not deep. It’s really not an issue unless you get really bit up by a swarm. Then the sensation is overwhelming due to surface area. It’s not like a bee sting more like a bunch of fly bites from tiny horse-fly wannabes. I think she was more having a anxiety attack with dehydration and pain. Her throat might not have been closing up but I’m sure she was feeling her pulse and monitoring the pain a lot for possibly multiple hours. And with every step on sand you notice those little bites pretty quickly. Between her toes is kinda rough it’s a good call not to walk around and create more blisters on your feet. Lemongrass/mint/catmint produce oils with natural chemical insecticide causing insects that crawl on it to feel itchy/irritated as it coats their hairs/body/breathing openings. It can be mixed with alcohol so that it’s more mist like/vapor like and affects bugs differently and coats you evenly. (These grasses/mints are also what many animals rub against as natural insect repellent keeping away flies,ticks,fleas,and lice. Hence why one of them is cat-mint.) Funny enough the itchy-insecticide for bugs coincides with a skunk/musky scent usually in multiple plant species meaning it’s an adaptation against pests by plants. Neat. Also in Florida it’s why a lot of things like lotions will randomly smell like lemongrass as it keeps away some bugs as you wear it through the day. Some brands capitalize on that.
That first video is actually super interesting- there is some evidence suggesting that ants produce a natural disinfectant in their saliva. As far as an on the fly treatment goes, this one may be pretty damn smart. I’m going to now search for the outcome of that episode and possibly a way to watch this show lol(I’ve never seen this incredibly entertaining series before)!
Some subjects I would be interested in seeing you cover: fibromyalgia, Sjogren's with nerve damage, dysautonomia, Ehlers Danlos type 3, allergic reactions to spider venom, anaphylaxis to Benadryl, eczema, migraines, rare conditions.
I once had a kidney infection and let me tell you.. It was NOT good at ALL! I was in the hospital for at least 2 days. It hurt so much!! I'm 9 right now and when I had it I was eight years old.
Mike, it would be greatly appreciated if you put a warning before showing a picture of a spider like that ( or better yet dont show it at all). Im quite sure that all the arachnophobians out there, myself included, died a little bit
fellow arachnophobe here - agreed! I'm glad they put a warning for any emetophobes before the vomiting scene, but his editors could definitely have put a warning before the full screen spider 😭 I feel itchy all over now, I had to block my screen and that still wasn't enough since I was too late and saw it anyway
@@kaylieheath6766 same here. I covered my phone screen and looked around my room as if it would be in my room lol. I also didn't skip forward fast enough when it said vomit warning in 3 seconds, and I was like great now I feel sick as well lol.
I would never go outside like this because my body has a bad reaction when its outside for too long and i even pass out from the heat very often because my body has trouble producing sweat like normal.
I wouldn't be able to live 1 hour being naked and afraid. I get one rash, pimple like, I get panic attacks. One whole leg having rash, I would consider myself dead.
Thank you modern society, for allowing me to live without experiencing anything remotely close to these injuries
Agreed Mr. Virus, hope skyblock is going well for you

It is painful to simply watch ten minutes of this without feeling some unsettling feeling. Thanks, Mike.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Good soldiers follow good orders.
I couldn't even watch. Spent the whole video in the comment section.
Yeah, I honestly don't see the point of reality shows like this. It's just watching people suffer for fun
Sadists, and masochists, in a jungle, "having fun"
I had to stop watching the show awhile back. I would feel exhausted afterwards. it felt like watching someone being tortured, even though they chose it.
i feel bad for the clavical girl, she told the guy to wait up and he was like 'nah fine' and she got hurt because he wasn't considerate
For real. That guy messed her up. I hope he got some sort of karma for that.

and thats the experiment, she signed up
Wonder what the legal implication of that are. Hope she got something out of at least. This injury can absolutely ruin your life.
Regrettably, an incompetent partner becomes a you problem incomprehensibly fast.
Dr. Mike! Chest compressions saved my cat! 🥺
A few days ago, she suddenly collapsed, went stiff, and wasn't breathing. When I checked her pulse, she had a faint heartbeat and I immediately did chest compressions until she started moving and breathing again. We brought her to the vet and turns out she has pneumonia. Less than an hour into the examination, she could stand again. She's doing OK now, and I'm just so amazed by how chest compressions brought her back. Thanks, Dr. Mike!
Congratulations and god bless
But if she had a faint heart beat then that means she wasn't "gone" and you're only suppose to do chest compressions if there is NO heart beat at all... the chesst compressions might've helped but definitely not the way you think 😅
@@biancajc no you do need to do it even if there is little to no heartbeat. I am CPR certified. A small pulse and no breathing can easily have led to brain damage for the cat. They did the right thing.
Im so glad to know your cat is okay ! Thank you for sharing i would never have thought to do cpr to an animal but now I will
I'm glad she's ok ❤️
I would never understand why people decide to put themselves through something like this voluntarily
Literally, I'm a city guy forever
Money 💰💰
For the thrill? For the challenge and accomplishement? For the money?
There is no money reward for this show. They do it to put their skills to the challenge!
I get stuff like going out with tools and trying to survive as long as possible. But going out with no clothing, food, or anything? Sounds like a nightmare. Especially in the type of environments that these guys have to try to survive in.
My daughter was on Naked and Afraid. So proud of her! The guy she was with quit on day 4 and she did the rest of the 21 days by herself.
What was her name, I'm curious if i watched the episode she was in.
Kudos to her
Further evidence that women are just far superior. 😂

Why would you let your child do this?
For the one at 5:55
Me and my dad watched this scene-
For context, the girl had a ton of training with a machete, and knew what she was doing. The guy basically got super embarrassed cause she was doing way better than him, and tried to show that he could be helpful, too. They had to pull him off the island, and the girl basically walked on her own, all the way to the pickup area
Dang girls badass
Is that the same dude who brought swimming goggles as his one item?

@@skullbird179 yeah, she is! She was super cool
Yuppppp
The soldier ants thing is actually a thing still practised in a few countries. They bite down on your skin, you cut the rest of the body off and the head stays attached, biting on your skin. Basically, they're DIY stitches.
yeah we saw that in the video too lady.
@kijesticproductions7640 Ants can't transmit poison through their jaws, only with stings
Ya but for a cut that’s not life threatening it’s probably best to just put pressure on it like Mike said to prevent infection
I remember one very early Naked & Afraid there was a big navy dude, very prepared, strong, knew what to do.
There was only one problem, they were left on an island, on a very, very hot weather, and he was from the Baltics. In a a few hours he was all burnt and messed up by it
As an emetophobic, I appreciated the vomit warning before that one clip 💀 Still have no idea how people can go on shows like this, eating random fruit you find outside is never a good idea. Great video as always, Doc!
Same, dr mike is the only person I can really watch, in terms of this, cause he puts warnings
I also appreciated, could mute and look away for a few seconds till it was over 😅
I appreciate the vomit warning too, I watched this while having my breakfast 😂
Me too, I came here to say the same thing! He gave enough time to turn the volume down and block the phone screen with my hands. I’m glad I’m not alone.
Exactly the same here honey 🤦♀️😩
I'm happy that the team behind the show actually know when they have to get their contestants out of the challenge.

I dont know how i feel bout the replies but ok
if they got a medic there, why didnt she treat the god-awful sunburn?
It's also funny to me how we see someone fainting, face-plant themselves on the ground and the only thing we could think of is ask "you alright?" -- DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M ALRIGHT? lol
When the sun burn become apparent and that bad. She should of been pulled off the island. Because she wasn’t only sunburnt but the cycle was repeating every time she stepped out of shelter.
Right? The girl basically dived face first on the ground like a doll with broken strings and the guy asks if his obviously passed out partner is all right, it was also his idea eating that questionable food, a bad ally is worse than an enemy
@@hypercrow9563 some of the stuff on this show was a little “production “
But some these injuries should of seen them pulled by a doctor especially the heat stroke, the sun burn and the infected body parts..
It's possible it's our knee-jerk reaction to confirm If they might still possibly be alive? I mean that obviously will cause worry and your brain can just go "We need to get a response, any verbal response means they can be ok! they totally didn't just die on me!"??
@@EraidFreefire
In first aid, the best thing is to get a response anyway we can and it helps tell us that this person didn’t just kneel over and die on us.

THANK YOU TO THE EDITOR FOR THE VOMIT WARNING. People put trigger warnings on everything BUT vomit it seems like. As someone who is super sensitive to that kinda thing I really appreciate the warning! I've never been warned about it in videos before.
I AGREE. I have severe emetophobia (fear of vomit) and I can’t handle even talking about it often because it makes me feel sick.
@@official.snoopy12 yeah I'm the exact same
Would have loved a warning for the spider tho😅
@@rieneketoet7478 yeah true 🤣
You should watch haircake
As someone with emetophobia thank you so much for putting the vomit warning! Much appreciated ❤
just want to say a very large THANK YOU to the editor for the warning before the people threw up! i truly appreciate that i can know your videos are safe to watch as someone with emetophobia ❤
but they could skip spider picture... ==;
@@beheroot I immediately flipped my phone over so I couldn't see this picture.
Don't impersonate as Dr. Mike 🙄🙄🙄
The ant head-suture thing is actually something several cultures used to do. Usually, it was species like driver and army ants, but if a person is feeling particularly bold, bullet ants will work.
Speaking of ants, I highly suggest reacting to some of Coyote Peterson's bite/sting videos. Those are pretty wild.
Yes! And I actually heard some ants actually have something in their saliva that helps ease pain and heal the wound! So cool!
Thank you! For someone who is supposed to be intelligent, he says some pretty ignorant things.
@@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686 well, nobody's perfect. And he has done videos in the past owning up to being wrong about things, so at least he sees the opportunity to learn and grow.
@@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686 bro who can blame him that ant idea sounded so stupid 💀
@@anasazidarkmoon How about he do some research or giving people the benefit of the doubt instead acting like people are inherently stupid for trying to use natural ideas or remedies. Had he given a little credit for it actually working it wouldn't have been so bad. He always talks like he's an expert on everything medical and he's not.
I have a friend that has a pretty nasty allergic reaction to sandflies specifically. She swells massively within seconds of getting bitten, the pain is really bad, and if not treated immediately with hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointment, she WILL get infections and then hyperpigment in the spots.
I’m just now afraid of the wilderness especially forests
That seems like smthn you know before you go sleep naked in the wilderness tbh
This is a “fried chicken mushroom”: it’s poisonous
This is a “Cheeseburger mushroom”: do not eat it
This is a “Hawaiian pizza mushroom”: it’s actually fine
I mean it's not poisonous when cooked. Which would be smart to do since they don't usually have water to clean the mushrooms they just picked.
😭🤣🤣🤣 right?? Lmao
@First Last But then you have alcohol covered mushrooms, and you probably don’t wanna be high and drunk in a survival situation
I feel like the only poisonous food in that list is the Hawaiian pizza
isn't it very suitable? you shouldn't eat a chicken raw, why not fry it like the name suggests?
I feel like knowing more about the human body and how dangerous these places are can be quite terrifying if you have to go to such places and survive without any equipment
Part of the challenge is that they go without even basic clothing and shoes. That makes it like 10x harder. Even if you'd wear some jeans, a shirt and some worn-out shoes, you'd already be quite a lot better off.
@@graealex exactly if they had full clothing on they probably could have stopped most of the problems they got let alone more equipment
@@hasoonnine Point is that it isn't about particular survival gear. Rather basic clothing that you'd wear in all circumstances.
Not wearing pants for example creates a big problem with UV and bug bites. Normale legs and torso would have basic protection.
The shortness of the challenge also means there is little point in trying to create any of these items. It really is just about the pain of plowing through not having these items.
21 days is ample time to make some rudimentary protective gear. Especially since sitting around braiding grasses does not cost much energy, only time.
@@4Curses If you ever watched the show, you'd realize that shoes made from these materials last about as long as they take to make.
Some contestants tried that. Realized it's not worth the effort. Sometimes they prepared one or more pairs of shoes for the final leg of the challenge, and otherwise avoided walking where it is too painful, for example at noon in full sunshine.
The only ones that had longer-term success with shoes were those that had either duct tape or animal skin/hide available. Which only very few contestants had. But shoes made from grass or leaves are just garbage, and will barely last a whole day, let alone most of the challenge.
Of course I’d heard the title of the show but I’d not thought about the consequences that would carry. I just can’t believe that is a tv show. It seems so dangerous. Some of those injuries will affect those people for the rest of their lives
I feel like mushrooms are very much a no-go in a survival situation. Even if it's literally the only food you can find for some weird reason, unless you're like, two+ weeks into it without having eaten anything I very much doubt they're worth the risk considering how freaking dangerous and difficult to accurately identify they are. Like, you can go a REALLY long time without food, but without kidneys, well, you're down in days, not weeks (and kidneys are one of the organs certain mycotoxins are known to damage)
Well, that is unless you live in one of the countries where mushroom foraging is a very popular autumn activity and every other five-year-old knows how to identify edible and inedible mushrooms.
thats so true, especially because some extremely dangerous mushrooms look almost identical to edible ones to the untrained eye

So true!
I live in Norway, and here I know 3 safe mushrooms that I feel safe picking. But I would never pick these in other countries, because that can look a lot like other mushrooms that we don't have in our country.
Here lots of people, specially eastern europeans get severe food poisoning each year here because they are used to picking a safe white mushroom in their home country, but when comming here they pick amanita virosa thinking it's the same safe one, but it's one of the most dangerous mushrooms we got here in Norway.
Doctor Mike (and Dan), again THANK YOU for the vomit warning! I so appreciate you taking emetophobia seriously. It truly means the world 💜
5:50 “you alright?!?” LMFAO the casual way he said that got me 😂😭
My ecology professor gave the same survival tip about the ant heads. He's used them himself and spent so much time in the field he discovered a new species. It really is something that can be done.
Hi Dr. Mike, I have a suggestion again! I'd be interested to see your interpretation of / reaction to the BBC sitcom 'Quacks'. It's a short series following 4 Victorian-era medical practitioners - a surgeon, his wife (who wants to become a doctor), a dentist/early anesthesiologist, and an 'alienist' (early mental health professional). There are some fascinating things regarding late 19th century medicine, from the (public!) operations, to the instruments, to the philosophies regarding health!
Ooh this would be awesome! I loved that series!

I get that the concept of naked and afraid is that they have almost nothing including clothes, but are they not allowed to fashion body coverings? That sunburn was ridiculous. The first thing I would do in a situation like that would be to cost my whole body in mud and leaves. No sunburn and it keeps most of the biting insects off.
Thank you for the "vomit warning". I love your videos and I appreciate your editor for doing that. Seeing/hearing people vomit is a bad trigger for me and makes me want to also.
THANK YOU for the vomit-warning. Very considerate of you and saved me from unnecessary anxiety and stress ❤️

I used to watch this show but after awhile the injuries started bothering me, lol this was hard to watch! I felt bad for the lady who got bug bites.

As someone at an increased risk for skin cancer due to my sensitivity to the sun and numerous sunburns as a result of that sensitivity I always cringe when I see people with really bad sunburns like that because despite my sensitivity I’ve only really had a couple of burns that got close to that and I do everything I can now to prevent it from ever happening again but it still gives me the painful sensory memory from my own experiences and I hate it, ugh.
Same here, i burn incredibly easily, even with protection. Before i learned better i had some nasty sunburns that I still remember the pain of to this day, ugh 😣
I'm the same, I cringed so much at these burns 😔 must have hurt terribly
Survivor was one thing. THIS is...😔. Oh and the ant bite therapy is legit. I remembered seeing something similar in a documentarynyears ago and being fascinated. I mean, some hospitals use certain bugs to eat off dead skin. Also, those bananas are too young. We grow and eat green bananas regularly and those are too young for consumption.
About the mushrooms
In Norway, some years ago, there was a story about an entire family who destroyed their kidneys because they ate poisonous mushrooms.
According to the news they all got admitted to the waiting list for a transplant and will be on dialysis treatment until then...
That taught me to only eat the kinds I know well!
It was Cortinarius rubellus, which is super common to mistake for chanterelles when you're not experienced. I'm guessing people just get so hyped, thinking they've found "the gold of the forest" that they forget to double check that what they picked is what they think they picked.
I always enjoy watching you reacting to these type of shows.I will never understand why people will put themselves physically through such scary situations,and all for money.each to their own I guess...great medical insight as always👌💗
Don’t believe everything you see on TV.
Very true...I only believe the truth,the Dr Mike truth 😁😁.Love his honest input to these type of shows.Great channel 👌
Exactly what I was saying! Why would anyone do this to themselves
Money can often be all the incentive one needs.
I think there are some people who think they need to do this kind of thing in order to have some philosophical epiphany or spiritual awakening. However, I can have deep thoughts in the comfort of my own house, so I never understood going out to extremely wild places and risking your life just for some introspection. You can question the purpose of life in A/C as well as in the arctic circle. 🤷🏻♀
The physical and social isolation, and lack of distractions, can help, but again, you can do that stuff alone in a house or hotel room or wherever within driving distance of medical care. It's like when people go out west or to South America to "find themselves". You don't find yourself in the desert or rainforest; you find yourself within. The setting hardly matters. Nature is beautiful but there isn't really a need to risk losing a whole arm to a simple cut. Even cavemen knew better than to try to survive alone. Humans have always needed a tribe/community/society to survive long-term. Also, constantly focusing on how you will get food is not really conducive to deep thought, imo.
thank you for the vomit warning, it’s better now but when i was a kid i literally would be like. mentally off for hours if i saw anything like that. it’s appreciated!!
i love this show so it’s rlly cool seeing you react to it!! i’d really like if you did more of survivor injuries! Survivor is such a good show
I love how Doctor Mike can immediatly explain everything. We have one hospital in my city and everyone I know (myself included) who has Bern there has at least once went Out without a diagnosis or sending to a specialist ect.
I mean he either A: selects only incidents to watch that he knows about or B: selects the most interesting thing and then does some research before filming
Yeah, or he could pause filming, look something up really quick, then talk about it... we will never know...
That's different! I'm sure Mike also takes time to consult other doctors when someone's life could be on the line.
Obviously he and his team research the topics. Dr. Mike isn't some God Doctor who knows everything.
Except that doctor Mike didn't recognize bananas... ))
5:15 it's Banana Mike, I can confirm I'm from a tropical country. First they grow a Huge cone shaped bud, size of a coconut, they have layers like Onion. After a while flowers pop from these layers and eventually turn into Bananas like the one's the video n then your regular Banana. Also after growing enough Banana, the bud will fall out.
They just weren’t ready yet. Not even ready to be eaten green.
@@deebestest100 Yeah instead they should've looked for the bud, that may have fallen out. It's edible and if they're lucky there'll be flowers and they've sap in it. Or simply chop the banana tree, it's fleshy, chop and slice em into little pieces, boil it and you could eat em like salad. It's a delicacy in my country
@@catastrophic666 oh that’s interesting! I know that the bud can be eaten but I didn’t know the tree itself was edible. That’s really nice to know 😌 do you mind saying what country?

I felt like I wanted to know more about why the woman collapsed after throwing up from the "bananas"... it just kinda cut from her collapse to the next person without any kind of closure about what they actually ate, why it wasn't okay to eat, and what her actual diagnosis was.
She passed out from dehydration. The bananas we’re not ripe yet so they are all starch and their stomachs can’t handle that after not eating for awhile and not drinking enough. She’s was ok. 😊
That part where it said “several mushrooms later” and then it cut to the emergency room. 😂
You know how to lure me back to the channel!
My favourite is "how they can diagnose if they exposed themselves to everything, sleeping on the ground in ants next to poison ivy". It is basically what this show is. I miss some comment about a participants' comparation before&after, how those rapid changes affects body. But I like this episode anyway. Thank you!

That’s the reason we have a scale for how much different bug/insect stings pain levels are. A guy went around and got bit by everything and wrote a list lol. It’s called the Schmidt Pain Index!
Best mushroom foraging advice I ever got. Always cook your mushrooms. If you get a poisonous one then it will make you less sick if cooked, but even the non poisonous ones can have poisons on them and can still make you sick. People will also react differently to various mushrooms. I do believe they said there's only really one mushroom we know of that will flat out kill you and it was in either Africa or Asia, I don't remember exactly
i still appreciate you so much for the fact that you do the vomit warnings, it makes me able to watch these without fearing that someone is gonna get sick at any moment

Hey Dr. Mike. I love your videos. I'm wondering though if you've ever done a video on a fear of Doctors (I think it's called White Coat Anxiety or something like that). Meaning my daughter has such bad anxiety of going to the doctors, they can't even get vitals on her because her blood pressure soars. I was once told (when she was 11) to just tell her not to be scared. Genius response. Never thought of that (SMH). She's 19 now and knows that it's an irrational fear but still has a hard time. We would love to see a video on that and what can help.

It's actually a really interesting episode. It really shows how much difference hormones make in the transition.
I have to admit, it's serially impressive that this person knew they would have to stop hormone therapy to be on the challenge. I'm impressed with their mental fortitude, dealing with such a swing.
Also of note, it highlights the fact that one can never literally change their gender.
@@amandawade8003 that's commitment to say the least, the thought of an injury like that is enough to make my toes curl.

Thanks for the reference, I am gonna have to see how that even happened. And I feel like the gender thing is shockingly obvious.
@@mrblack5145 They didn't make that bow and arrow in the field. They're allowed to bring 1 personal thing that'll benefit themselves and their team in their attempt to survive. In this person's case, they brought their bow and, I believe 5 metal tipped arrows.

I love Dr Mike videos, but I have to say it annoys me when he sort of criticises people for asking "are you alright?" when something's clearly wrong. It's the first thing you're taught to do when handling a first aid - even if you can see that they're definitely not alright, you have to ask because a) you can assess how bad it is based on their response, b) it makes sure they're conscious, responsive and mentally engaging with you for follow-up questions and c) it's the decent human thing to do.

8:22 it depends if it’s a swarm of if it’s a few bites. The sensation feels like pinching it’s different then a radiating pain. And when the itching begins the constant irritation to the surface causes them to feel pulse like but not deep. It’s really not an issue unless you get really bit up by a swarm. Then the sensation is overwhelming due to surface area. It’s not like a bee sting more like a bunch of fly bites from tiny horse-fly wannabes.
I think she was more having a anxiety attack with dehydration and pain. Her throat might not have been closing up but I’m sure she was feeling her pulse and monitoring the pain a lot for possibly multiple hours. And with every step on sand you notice those little bites pretty quickly. Between her toes is kinda rough it’s a good call not to walk around and create more blisters on your feet.
Lemongrass/mint/catmint produce oils with natural chemical insecticide causing insects that crawl on it to feel itchy/irritated as it coats their hairs/body/breathing openings. It can be mixed with alcohol so that it’s more mist like/vapor like and affects bugs differently and coats you evenly. (These grasses/mints are also what many animals rub against as natural insect repellent keeping away flies,ticks,fleas,and lice. Hence why one of them is cat-mint.)
Funny enough the itchy-insecticide for bugs coincides with a skunk/musky scent usually in multiple plant species meaning it’s an adaptation against pests by plants. Neat.
Also in Florida it’s why a lot of things like lotions will randomly smell like lemongrass as it keeps away some bugs as you wear it through the day. Some brands capitalize on that.
That first video is actually super interesting- there is some evidence suggesting that ants produce a natural disinfectant in their saliva. As far as an on the fly treatment goes, this one may be pretty damn smart. I’m going to now search for the outcome of that episode and possibly a way to watch this show lol(I’ve never seen this incredibly entertaining series before)!
Some subjects I would be interested in seeing you cover: fibromyalgia, Sjogren's with nerve damage, dysautonomia, Ehlers Danlos type 3, allergic reactions to spider venom, anaphylaxis to Benadryl, eczema, migraines, rare conditions.
I once had a kidney infection and let me tell you.. It was NOT good at ALL! I was in the hospital for at least 2 days. It hurt so much!! I'm 9 right now and when I had it I was eight years old.
you should not be watching this as a 9year old lol!
The Ant thing was actually quite common in the mayan times especially. Theres a lot of documentation that survived in the form of paintings
Mike, it would be greatly appreciated if you put a warning before showing a picture of a spider like that ( or better yet dont show it at all). Im quite sure that all the arachnophobians out there, myself included, died a little bit
fellow arachnophobe here - agreed! I'm glad they put a warning for any emetophobes before the vomiting scene, but his editors could definitely have put a warning before the full screen spider 😭 I feel itchy all over now, I had to block my screen and that still wasn't enough since I was too late and saw it anyway
@@kaylieheath6766 yup, what I’ve learned from this video is to look away from the screen as soon as spiders are mentioned
@@darksparrow923 I normally do because this is always what happens, I just let my guard down today and paid the price 😂😭
@@kaylieheath6766 same here. I covered my phone screen and looked around my room as if it would be in my room lol. I also didn't skip forward fast enough when it said vomit warning in 3 seconds, and I was like great now I feel sick as well lol.
My husband loves this show. I can't barely watch this.
Thank you for the vomit warning. I have emetaphobia and watching that would have seriously set me off…
I would never go outside like this because my body has a bad reaction when its outside for too long and i even pass out from the heat very often because my body has trouble producing sweat like normal.
I wouldn't be able to live 1 hour being naked and afraid. I get one rash, pimple like, I get panic attacks. One whole leg having rash, I would consider myself dead.
