My nephew developed an allergy to meat after a tick bite, but we didn't learn that the tick cause it until years later. The allergist said the meat allergy wasn't possible, but my sister INSISTED he test for it. At least he apologized after seeing the results. Kid became an involuntary vegetarian. He's 27 now and can eat some meat now.
Yeah, it's been over 15 years for my brother. He's so used to it, he really doesn't miss eating meat. It's really just mammal meat he was allergic to, so any poultry, fish, shellfish, reptiles, greater apes, ir humans are ok to eat. Sorry, just kidding about the last two. Our family tends to use humor a lot, in really strange ways and situations. As I moved in to share our parents' home with him since lockdown, it keeps me on a better, leaner diet as well. I primarily eat meats that are safe for him so accidental contamination is never a risk.
I didn’t realize that all those tick bites I got as a kid playing in the woods had screwed me up until after I went vegan (voluntarily) and all of a sudden like 99.999% of my stomach and “immune disorder” issues went away nearly overnight. I ended up getting tested for it about a year ago and I came up with a positive result for the alpha galactose allergy 🫠 Fun times 👍
But what is his superpower? Isn't that how the Origin Arc goes? Does he now have an evil archnemesis bent upon his destruction? Sidekick or solo? I have so many questions...
In middle school I wrote a scifi story about eco-terrorists infecting people with a virus that made eating meat cause them gastric distress. A quarter century later I'm feeling vaguely vindicated
As an epileptic that gets tonic clonic seizures (fall to the ground thrashing) and myoclonic seizures (random jerking movements) I can attest to getting seizures if I push my brain. The dude doing sudoku was putting his damaged brain under stress, the seizure threshold lowered and it glitched. It’s actually super annoying. My triggers are: flashing lights, stress, alcohol, fatigue, a withdrawal of caffeine and forgetting my twice daily meds.
my grandfather wanted to die every moment of every day for his last 5 years. we are kind enough to put our pets down long before they get where he got to. In his clear moments it was just crying and wanting to die... but his heart was strong. when he passed it was ofc a loss for us all, but apart from his clear moments, we had lost him years ago. a relief all round, especially for him.
My Grandmother in her last year was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and she declined treatment as she said she was ready to go home(Home being heaven, she was devotedly Christian) and be with my grandfather who passed away prior to that.
I have had headaches since age 25, now being 80, and a Disabled US Veteran. In 2010 a headache specialist said I have Hemicrania Continua, which is Latin for a continuous headache on my right side of my head, treated with some medications and other types of symptoms too. 😢
Simon: Human bodies are so strong! Also Simon: *cough* Sorry, I've been under the weather for two weeks. OH NO, I DON'T WANT A HIP REPLACEMENT! I can't eat grasshoppers, I'm allergic.
@@mebreevee I do not know about him specifically, as I am not him. But depending on which protein you are allergic to in grasshoppers, you can also be allergic to crickets, cockroaches, certain shellfish, and other anthropods.
@@mebreevee google is your friend, as long as it is an article from an actual medical/scientific source. Google scholar is great, but it can be hard to read, depending on what your background is/what the article is.
@@aceundead4750 and he gets sick a lot from his kids, and he has high blood pressure, and his his hairline wasn't strong enough to last him to his mid-thirties. Which isn't an issue, but you can't go around claiming your body is strong when it can't even hang on to your hair lol. At least he has a glorious beard now. Plus I think either Romulus or Remus has some pretty severe allergies. Thank god I have my tubes tied, because the STRESS I would go through if my kid had even a mild allergy... My dog is allergic to spiders, and it is ON SIGHT if I see any bug lol. I constantly listen to her breathing while I'm laying down to sleep, or doing anything. I do constant checks on her. I'm with her basically 24/7. I can't imagine having a child running around, getting into things, grabbing stuff and putting things in their mouths... I know more about what goes into my dog's mouth than the average toddler's parent lol. I don't babysit young kids, and I only tutor after a certain age, cuz all that is stressful.
I’ve been waiting for years for Simon to notice me pretending to be working on painting his window frames. Now that he understands that watching him make videos in person is more enjoyable than watching the edited results later on TH-cam, I will commence with phase two of my unsettling commentary…
I developed a nickel allergy when I was 19 after unloading bags of unpoped popcorn. The bags were made from a synthetic burlap type material, and it put little cuts on my forearms that itched like a rash. My watch irritated it, so I quit wearing it while my arms healed. Once they healed, I put my cheap Timex watch on, and within a few hours, there was a rash on my wrist. It's been like that for 30+ years. Any metal that touches my skin has to be pure/nickel free. My watch is made out of stainless steel, my wedding band is gold, and my glasses and belt buckle are titanium.
I dealt with the same thing on the Celiac's. Up until I was 35 I could eat anything with gluten without issue. And then, boom, I couldn't eat a darn bit of it, and the villi in my gut were atrophying. These are part of what helps your body absorb the nutrients you eat. I went onto a gluten free diet and things improved over night. Though I still absolutely miss having a nice loaf of French bread, it's just not worth the issues I have later that night.
My dad had dementia for the last few years of his life. It was heart wrenching. He was lost and bewildered and didn’t know anyone around him. I was honestly relieved when he died, it is agonizing to watch someone suffer with no way to help. And the father I knew was long gone by the time the shell that he had inhabited finally ended.
It's heartbreaking indeed. I've spent 8 weeks doing a clinical placement on a dementia ward and it was sad. What annoyed me more though was how current studies that have shown effective treatment are not mentioned as those treatments are not pharmaceutical based, rather vitamins, mineral and omega 3 oil. So they can't be patterned. But they work far better than any standard treatment. The food for the brain foundation has some articles on this and they mention: vitamin B12 and vitamin B complex, Omega 3 fatty acids and I think it was vitamin D. Also, there's lots of things we can do in our early years to minimise our chances of ending up with dementia / Alzheimer's. There is a free risk quiz on the same web page ( food for the brain foundation). Have a look. You could help yourself and your loved ones around you. Sending everyone much love 🩷✨🩷
Way more common than you even know. It's heartbreaking to see the suffering on all sides and when the living get relief, they feel guilty for feeling it. Absolutely horrible
I can't believe you guys mentioned photosensitive epilepsy. I was diagnosed with it when I was 13. I started having seizures during typing class. We had those huge computer monitors that flickered. I got pulled from class and got to have my own study hall alone which I loved because fuck typing class. I'm 39 now and thankfully my medication helps me to not have seizures.
When I watch things with a photoepilepsy warning, if it's really bad, I can feel it tugging at my brain, like, "oh, yeah, there it is, that's the seizure-y goodness."

The red meat allergy isn't just the red meat... it's ANY "mammal product" - dairy, red meat, etc. I know someone who has it, and was originally thought to be Lyme (given the similar source).
I'm a mushroom hunter who spends *lots* of time in the woods, & I've had it since at least 07. This allergy doesn't hit right away, which makes it very hard to diagnose. The way my doc explained it was the delay occurs bcz the meat needs to be partially digested before the alpha gal carbohydrate can enter the bloodstream to trigger the reaction. I can still eat dairy (cow, sheep, goat) & I have no issues wearing leather, but after 4-6 hrs I'll puke continuously 18-24 hrs & be completely out of it for 3-4 days if I have as little as 1-2 bites of red meat. (this includes pork) Less than that (like a bit of bacon in beans) gives me horrific athsma for the same 3-4 days, after the same 4-6 hr delay, as well as being out of it. And by out of it, I mean *severe* brain fog + racing heart/ A-Fib + insomnia + constant adrenalin shakes. 10/10 do not recommend
My brother has it too. Don't remember exactly how long ago he first started complaining about getting violently sick after eating meat, but I don't think any of his doctors had heard about it yet. Now he likes to joke that he cant eat mammal meat, unless it's greater apes or humans.
Simon as a 23 year old who takes both ibuprofen and tylonel several times a day, let me assure you, none of the adults in my life go a day without one or the other if they can help it
You'd be surprised. I've met several people here in America that treat ibuprofen like vitamins, taking them proactively when they're about to do anything that think may even possibly give them a headache. It's absolutely absurd.
The tick thing actually happened recently to one of my former professors. It's not only red meat, but any meat that isn't chicken will cause her to have an allergic reaction.
I mean my best friend's best friend got cancer and it had made it to the point where he was put in the cancer ward (and not allowed to leave) before he found out because he was just destroying ibuprofen all day for months instead of seeing a doctor.
Milk glue is relatively easy to make. You add vinegar to milk to make the protein (casein) separate out in curds, squeeze the liquid out, then add a base to neutralize the acid and water to get the consistency you want. It's been used for thousands of years, and is still used in woodworking. Homemade milk glue can be kept in the fridge for about a month.
@@mebreeveehugs, I hope you’re feeling better. If you want a chuckle, I broke a toe by putting a pair of shoes on, I missed and kicked a dolphin torch across the room. I broke a big toe falling into the bath, it broke my fall so I didn’t break my head on the tapware. Broke another toe doing something else wonky and then my left big toe stepping backwards on a non-slip mat and a middle toe just walking on pool deck at work. And if you need more: I dislocated a finger by touching it…it took ages before I thought to nudge it back into place.
13:50, people absolutely take too much ibuprofen/acetaminophen. After having tons of issue with heartburn, I went to the doctor, and long story short he ended up explaining that he sees it a lot in younger women who often get use to using large amount of the drugs for their periods at a very young age.
Simon, I recently had a persistent cold for three weeks. Go to a sauna! Going there two times cured me. Since you're in Prague you could alternatively try one of those beer spas first, of course. ;-)
I used to work with a guy that got bit by a Lone Star tick and became allergic to red meat at 50 years old. Didn't know about it until he ended up in the hospital after going into anaphylaxis at a wedding reception
I found out I had it during Covid. I was having trouble breathing after eating a hamburger, itched for 2 days after ward. At least I didn't have to isolate for a week or so.
I DID NOT NEED THAT CLIP AT the 10:50 MARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Why did they release her from the hospital?! She’s clearly not ok?!” Great question. Considering that is a legal and ethical violation of multiple fields, and her being a danger to others and herself is grounds to keep inpatient, where she should have remained in that state.
Hey a study says you should play 3d games. Get red dead redemption 2 or gta v. My dad plays all the time. He knows the whole map now. It is stoping the progress
Another thought on the rising prevalence of allergies I had is that foods from all over the world are available almost everywhere nowadays, so we’re finding out we’re allergic to things that maybe 50-100 years ago we never would have come into contact with. For example, I’m allergic to soy, but probably never would have even found that out about myself in the 1950’s.
Hi, mathematician here. It is a maths puzzle, just not high school maths. Plenty of higher maths is entirely separated from numbers, not like algebra with letters that represent numbers, but letters that represent arbitrary objects. It is, essentially, logic puzzles.
To put it another way: Sudoku isn't an ARITHMATIC puzzle -- that would be Ken Ken. Sudoku, is, however, a LOGIC puzzle. Mathematics has more than one branch. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
14:06 Just food for thought, Simon, why do you imagine people (especially in the US) get addicted to painkillers? It starts with pain, but since it's so expensive to see a doctor, you take as many otc painkillers as you think your liver can handle. Then when that doesn't cut it anymore you go see a doctor, but since fixing/treating the cause of the pain is prohibitively expensive, you get prescription painkillers instead. Then your tolerance goes higher than the doctor can/will prescribe and you're left supplementing from the black market, until it gets prohibitively expensive and before you can turn around twice you find yourself desperately addicted to heroin. If you're lucky. ETA There's a pretty good reason they sell otc painkillers in family packs of hundreds and hundreds of pills.
Nice to know I *was* a medical anomaly. I got bit by a tick shortly after moving back to the US, though I never saw it. I went to the doctor with some symptoms. They ran some tests and found Lyme. (I also tested Equivocal for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which has the same treatment course for Lyme, and could have been from prior infection.) Apparently, they caught the Lyme early, so I *should* be good. Later, experiencing other issues, they ran some more tests, and Ta-da, Alpha-Gal. My symptoms were fairly mild, thankfully, so accidental ingestion and cross-contamination weren't huge risks. I think it took about 3-ish years to be able to eat red meat again without major issues? I'm still not huge on it after the fact, and only eat it occasionally. I mainly stick to poultry and fish now. From what they told me, it can take between a few months to a few years.
Rocky mountain spotted tick fever is a whole lot more dangerous than Lyme disease, and is contagious as well. For a long time it was not easy to detect, and so uncommon that it was rarely tested for, making it even worse. My father contracted spotted tick fever and was in the hospital dying and being tested for all kinds of shit for two months before the doctors figured it out. This was 35 or more years ago, so sharing of information and consulting with countless colleagues instantly and all that didn't really exist, as well as much more advanced testing methods and blah blah. Ticks are definitely the scourge of the earth and no doubt were created in hell by Satan himself and is one of his most diabolical acts of evil for sure.
I had a side job in college where I got ticks. They liked to climb to my ass crack. One time I was checking my crack for ticks and my roommate came in saw me touching my b-hole while looking at it with a hand mirror. This was kind of hard to explain.
I have epilepsy, and before it was controlled, there were some oddly specific things that would cause way more seizures closer together. I'd have 20-40 focal (stay awake) seizures and 3-4 general (unconcious breakdancing) seizures a day, but a normal day was closer to 20, the 40 was days i used *one very specific* app development program. I used a lot of programming software, but only that specific one shot my seizure rate through the roof.
my ex has alphagal...the specific test for it has like 50% false negative rate, and the test for it is only one of 7 possible tick-borne disease tests, and Drs ONLY want to test for the most common Tick disease, Lymes disease... which she didn't have, of course. it took years and multiple tests for her to get a diagnosis.
23:26 Ostrich meat is a great analogue for red meat and can replace beef in many uses. It’s been eaten for many years in South Africa but I understand it’s now becoming more available in western countries.
there's something in sandwhich bread (think like wonder bread that you pick up in the long loaf) that makes me physically hurt - and possibly was the cause of the paranoia I was feeling prior to stopping eating that product.
21:43 2009? I had a mate with a red meat allergy(among a laundry list of strange allergies), in the 1990s, Kangaroo was the only red meat he could eat, the rest had an effect on him similar to being very stoned, he'd also get drunk on gluten.
There's also auto brewery syndrome, where your gut bacteria digest carbohydrates to produce ethanol, causing you to become intoxicated from eating foods containing carbohydrates.
One of my Aged Care clients has a Red Meat allergy, has had it for his entire life, it has been documented for years & was a result of *never* consuming red meat growing up as he is an Inuit & they only ate white meat as apart of their traditions. His siblings are all share this allergy as does his father (Mother was not a native & does not have it) & his father's family. None ever lived anywhere near the Ticks that they could be bitten & given the allergy. 🤷♂
I have seen Russian IFV be completely dismantled by an ATGM and 10 Russians still managed to scarper away from the wreckage. No idea how people survive.
13:55 Oh Simon, how naive... Also, I should mention I know of a guy who died of a burst appendix because he was on so much painkillers, by the time he sought medical aid it was too late
@@ExperimentIV don't even remember, but he took quite a variety. Those percs though... had a client whose doctor thought it wise to give her those for headaches, which she constantly complained about. Let's just say I and her psychiatrist were worried about it, and were proven right. Fortunately it's not so easy getting opiates over here, so she was spared the path of true addiction and rehab.
My dad had his appendix pop. Brain damage had left his body numb on that side, so it was more getting whoozy from the side effects of having a bursted appendix that made him go to the doctor.
Rotating through types of painkillers for muscle and joint inflammation and pain is a daily challenge. 😅 Thankfully, some are topical- voltarin is a lifesaver.
@@DarkYuy *hug* that’s hard. That’s why doctors want me to rotate NSAIDs, they become less effective over time if used regularly. Do topical treatments help? I use bengay (active ingredient: menthol, hot and cold sensations, especially good for soreness and stiffness) and voltarin (diclofenac sodium gel, topical NSAID). Both are OTC in the US. I haven’t tried using a TENS unit regularly, but my dad said it helped with his arthritis.
@kellybraun7048 I use ibuprofen and naproxen, I tend to only take them during a flare up of my arthritis but these days I don't bother half the time cause they don't really help.
Our bodies are strong and I can lift heavy weights, run quite far, climb tall things etc. Yesterday I tore my calf muscle casually jumping up a skate ramp while teaching my daughter to skate.
I am legitimately allergic to exercise! I am heat intolerant and increasing my body temperature through movement makes me vomit, lose blood pressure, and lose consciousness. So that's fun.
I can't sweat and have exercise-induced asthma. (Going from cold to warm air also triggers it.) So, yeah. If I try to exercise I often end up having trouble breathing, and if it's not cold out or well AC'd and have good air flow and I'm doing pretty much anything but swimming, I may overheat and get all out of it, possibly dizzy, tired, sometimes nauseous too. One time I actually did puke, and another time my vision went all blue, as in I could see but everything was just in shades of blue. I figured that that was a sign that I needed to take a break. But hey, at least I don't get muscle cramps, because I'm not losing electrolytes through sweating like most people do. I just basically start to cook, that's all. (/s on that last bit.)
I get sex headaches, and they are the worse pain I have ever experienced. It feels like part of my brain has died, I have been admitted into hospital a few times because of it. I have broken bones, given birth 3 times, had appendicitis, had gallstones…. Nothing is as bad as sex headache. Worst pain imaginable. Drs have no idea what it is or how to treat it. Doesn’t happen every time, but when it does happen i feel like I’m dying.
13:50 Unfortunately, painkiller overuse - including ibuprofen and paracetamol / acetaminophen - is definitely a thing. Plenty of people are prescribed regular maximum doses of both these medications long-term; often for vague, non-specific pain that the doctors can't pinpoint a cause for. Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that the use of these medication themselves can be a cause for these non-specific pain.
@@janerecluse4344 It's not just America and it's not purely due to lack of care. Chronic pain is a notoriously difficult condition to treat; especially (and it's not unusual for this) where there is no clear underlying anatomical cause to fix.
@@chrismills9620 that depends on which protein they are allergic to. In one study on children with peanut allergy, 67% were sensitive to other legumes and 28% had confirmed allergy to at least one other legume.
In addition to people with peanut allergies also sometimes also being allergic to tree nuts, peanuts are markets and sold as ‘nuts’. They are included with nuts in nut mixes, sold in the nut isle and colloquially known as ‘nuts’. That is why.

Screw him. You are not in your late 30s till at least 38 and a half. Unless you hated being in your 30s and were looking forward to your 40s and think the only thing better than being in your 40s has been my 50s. Could just be me. 😅😅
My sister is 2 years and 2 days my junior. Since our birthdays are 2 days apart we always celebrated the same day. On her 24th, my 26th birthday, her card was addressed "From your sister in her early 20s, to her sister in her late 20s."😂
The peanut allergy thing was caused by people not introducing peanutbutter until age 3. I listened to a program on NPR talking about this and some other things caused by researchers announcing that their studies showed things that weren't really proven out by those studies.
Rescued in 15 minutes from an avalanche seems insanely quick😮 Edit: Avalanches are terrifying(from a fellow back-country behind boundaries snowboarder)
I have chronic migraine and I've found if I take painkillers routinely, they become less and less effective. Now I only take a painkiller a few times a year, when the pain is truly exceptional. But they're much more effective when I need them than they were when I was taking them more often.
My math teacher used to think I was really good at Sudoku, I then explained that I did zero math & just figured out where each number goes without crossing the same line as itself. He decided either I'm a lucky idiot or a genius & do it all subconsciously. I don't think he believed the second one. Especially when I passed tests explaining that I got my answers because "that looks like the right one" Why? Donno, just does, ends up being right though. 🤷♂
Answers "just looking right" usually means you know something, even if you have no idea how. My degree is in English, and that's mostly how I do grammar. 😂
There's no mathematics in Sudoku. It's just logic. You could replace the numbers with letters, colours, pictures, whatever and it wouldn't matter, so long as you still had nine distinct possibilities and the same rules.
What does being allergic to grasshoppers mean? Like you can't eat them or just be around them? I remember people were eating flavored bugs a while back, is that how Simon found out?🤯🤣
@@jesseshort8 eating. They are a good, and reliable, protein substitute. But if you are allergic to shellfish or other bugs that are similar, get an allergy test before chomping down.
You can also develop an allergy to grasshoppers from exposure, most frequently in large quantities, like hundred or thousands of insects in indoor/confined spaces that farm them for pet food, and in university labs conducting studies, all without eating them. From handling them or just by breathing their dead cells and bodily waste, resulting in both respiratory symptoms, eyes and skin reactions up to and including anaphylaxis. 🦗
In America, Ibuprofen and Tylenol are sold in BOTTLES, like hundreds of pills in one bottle. Ask any woman with a purse if she's got a Tylenol.... She's got it.
Going to send this to a friend as he found out a few years ago that he can't eat beef or pork but can do chicken and fish without getting violently ill. The military doc has no clue why it happened, buddy blames his early sailor party life...but im wondering if this explains it. Just know it became my greatest fear of becoming allergic to red meat. Wonder if this explains it as he does like the outdoors.
I have something called Cough Headaches that are triggered, mostly, from singing. Which sucks because I have a decent voice and love singing. As for pain meds 😅I also have Ehlers-Danlos Disease (hypermobility), I'm 50 years old and I've been in varying degrees of pain since my teens. For the last 5 years, I take 2 Ibuprofen and 2 Extra Strength Tylenols every day with breakfast whether I need them or not. If pain flairs throughout the day, I'll take another 2 of each.
alpha-GAL is not just lone-star tick, there are a few others and chiggs and stuff. and as the critters migrate further north in the US, the allergy is more and more common...
Always funny when Alpha Gal Syndrome gets brought up on lists. I am glad that more and more people are learning about it, because now when I say "Yeah, I'm allergic to red meat" sometimes people go "oh, is that that one tick thing?" instead of "that's not real" like I got for YEARS. I'm one of those lucky people that's been allergic to red meat since 2014.... it never went away. I just got used to it, honestly. Funny enough, for unrelated reasons, I also am allergic to shellfish and fish, so I only eat poultry. I haven't figured out if I can eat amphibians or reptiles, but considering how my body responds to most animal protein at this point, I'm not going to test it. I do make the joke all the time though that if there was a zombie apocalypse, at least my zombie self would be fine because humans don't have AG.
14:50 😂 good guess but no. Increase in nut allergy is because of food hygiene improving. I was an immunologis and geneticist, to explain my confidence in the assertion
I’ve just recently realised I’m intolerant to eggs. They’re in so many things you never think about, but removing them from my diet has made a massive difference in my life
Ad sense, shmad sense. I did my part to patronize a sponsor; finally caved and bought vessi. They're en route. Hoping I can trust your ad choices as much as I trust the info in your videos.
14:00 I took ibuprofen constantly to maintain mobility while aged 45-50ish. Eventually surgically dealt with the arthritis: replaced a hip, a knee, and got a mid foot fusion. Now I don’t need it much at all.
Since humans are so close to pigs (even tasting the same), does that mean pork is also still a viable option? I mean it's so close that pig carcasses are used as human analogs in tests.
I have actually been intolerant of raw beef for a period of about 1 year. Whenever I ate carpaccio (raw thinly sliced beef) I would get sick an throw up, and then I was fine again. Because I love carpaccio, I would try again every now and then - and suddenly, I was okay again. It was really weird.
I mean... when you can buy a 1000ct bottle of 500mg Acetaminophen/Paracetamol for $10 from our good friend Costco, or a similar volume of ibuprofen for nearly the same ridiculously low price, overuse isn't surprising. Only half joking, but a lot of us know something is wrong but we're ignoring it with the aid of OTC stuff because [various reasons for not getting to a doctor]
Those reasons including: Cost, and scheduling out patients absurdly far out. Like seriously, by the time the doctor gets the chance to look at the problem, it will have either killed me, or resolved itself! :(
Or because one was given various medicines to fix the issue but not only none work, they drove me into mania. No thanks, I will risk my liver, but give me back my mind.
My brothers partner and her father both developed meat allergies suddenly within a couple years of each other. They are assuming it was from a tick but they never saw one.

It’s actually super annoying.
My triggers are: flashing lights, stress, alcohol, fatigue, a withdrawal of caffeine and forgetting my twice daily meds.
my grandfather wanted to die every moment of every day for his last 5 years. we are kind enough to put our pets down long before they get where he got to. In his clear moments it was just crying and wanting to die... but his heart was strong. when he passed it was ofc a loss for us all, but apart from his clear moments, we had lost him years ago. a relief all round, especially for him.
My grandfather eventually told the doctors to leave him alone to die in peace.
Life is a race between physical and mental death to see which takes you first.
I'm sorry for your loss. The woman that raised me went out that way... It's hard, but try to remember who they were, not who they became. 💛
A lot of people just want to get done with it as they get older. They probably accomplished it more in the past than now. But I totally understand it.
My Grandmother in her last year was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and she declined treatment as she said she was ready to go home(Home being heaven, she was devotedly Christian) and be with my grandfather who passed away prior to that.

I developed a nickel allergy when I was 19 after unloading bags of unpoped popcorn. The bags were made from a synthetic burlap type material, and it put little cuts on my forearms that itched like a rash. My watch irritated it, so I quit wearing it while my arms healed. Once they healed, I put my cheap Timex watch on, and within a few hours, there was a rash on my wrist. It's been like that for 30+ years. Any metal that touches my skin has to be pure/nickel free. My watch is made out of stainless steel, my wedding band is gold, and my glasses and belt buckle are titanium.
I dealt with the same thing on the Celiac's. Up until I was 35 I could eat anything with gluten without issue. And then, boom, I couldn't eat a darn bit of it, and the villi in my gut were atrophying. These are part of what helps your body absorb the nutrients you eat. I went onto a gluten free diet and things improved over night. Though I still absolutely miss having a nice loaf of French bread, it's just not worth the issues I have later that night.
I was fine till 25 its been 6 years and I still miss proper bread it sucks that everything gf is 25% + more then muggle food
My dad had dementia for the last few years of his life. It was heart wrenching. He was lost and bewildered and didn’t know anyone around him. I was honestly relieved when he died, it is agonizing to watch someone suffer with no way to help. And the father I knew was long gone by the time the shell that he had inhabited finally ended.
They die over and over before they go the last time.
My grandmother had it. It's nick name is "The Long Goodbye", it's heart wrenching on the families.
It's heartbreaking indeed. I've spent 8 weeks doing a clinical placement on a dementia ward and it was sad.
What annoyed me more though was how current studies that have shown effective treatment are not mentioned as those treatments are not pharmaceutical based, rather vitamins, mineral and omega 3 oil. So they can't be patterned. But they work far better than any standard treatment.
The food for the brain foundation has some articles on this and they mention: vitamin B12 and vitamin B complex, Omega 3 fatty acids and I think it was vitamin D.
Also, there's lots of things we can do in our early years to minimise our chances of ending up with dementia / Alzheimer's. There is a free risk quiz on the same web page ( food for the brain foundation). Have a look. You could help yourself and your loved ones around you.
Sending everyone much love 🩷✨🩷
My grandma had it.... I don't want that existence.... She wasn't herself and didn't know anyone for over 10 years.
Way more common than you even know. It's heartbreaking to see the suffering on all sides and when the living get relief, they feel guilty for feeling it. Absolutely horrible
I can't believe you guys mentioned photosensitive epilepsy. I was diagnosed with it when I was 13. I started having seizures during typing class. We had those huge computer monitors that flickered. I got pulled from class and got to have my own study hall alone which I loved because fuck typing class. I'm 39 now and thankfully my medication helps me to not have seizures.
When I watch things with a photoepilepsy warning, if it's really bad, I can feel it tugging at my brain, like, "oh, yeah, there it is, that's the seizure-y goodness."

The red meat allergy isn't just the red meat... it's ANY "mammal product" - dairy, red meat, etc. I know someone who has it, and was originally thought to be Lyme (given the similar source).
I have it. No dairy, no red meat, even a leather belt will make me break out. Thank goodness I love fish and chicken!
I'm a mushroom hunter who spends *lots* of time in the woods, & I've had it since at least 07.
This allergy doesn't hit right away, which makes it very hard to diagnose.
The way my doc explained it was the delay occurs bcz the meat needs to be partially digested before the alpha gal carbohydrate can enter the bloodstream to trigger the reaction.
I can still eat dairy (cow, sheep, goat) & I have no issues wearing leather, but after 4-6 hrs I'll puke continuously 18-24 hrs & be completely out of it for 3-4 days if I have as little as 1-2 bites of red meat. (this includes pork)
Less than that (like a bit of bacon in beans) gives me horrific athsma for the same 3-4 days, after the same 4-6 hr delay, as well as being out of it.
And by out of it, I mean *severe* brain fog + racing heart/ A-Fib + insomnia + constant adrenalin shakes.
10/10 do not recommend
My brother has it too. Don't remember exactly how long ago he first started complaining about getting violently sick after eating meat, but I don't think any of his doctors had heard about it yet. Now he likes to joke that he cant eat mammal meat, unless it's greater apes or humans.
Simon as a 23 year old who takes both ibuprofen and tylonel several times a day, let me assure you, none of the adults in my life go a day without one or the other if they can help it
You'd be surprised. I've met several people here in America that treat ibuprofen like vitamins, taking them proactively when they're about to do anything that think may even possibly give them a headache. It's absolutely absurd.

Milk glue is relatively easy to make. You add vinegar to milk to make the protein (casein) separate out in curds, squeeze the liquid out, then add a base to neutralize the acid and water to get the consistency you want. It's been used for thousands of years, and is still used in woodworking. Homemade milk glue can be kept in the fridge for about a month.

If you want a chuckle, I broke a toe by putting a pair of shoes on, I missed and kicked a dolphin torch across the room. I broke a big toe falling into the bath, it broke my fall so I didn’t break my head on the tapware. Broke another toe doing something else wonky and then my left big toe stepping backwards on a non-slip mat and a middle toe just walking on pool deck at work.
And if you need more: I dislocated a finger by touching it…it took ages before I thought to nudge it back into place.
13:50, people absolutely take too much ibuprofen/acetaminophen. After having tons of issue with heartburn, I went to the doctor, and long story short he ended up explaining that he sees it a lot in younger women who often get use to using large amount of the drugs for their periods at a very young age.
Simon, I recently had a persistent cold for three weeks. Go to a sauna! Going there two times cured me. Since you're in Prague you could alternatively try one of those beer spas first, of course. ;-)
I used to work with a guy that got bit by a Lone Star tick and became allergic to red meat at 50 years old. Didn't know about it until he ended up in the hospital after going into anaphylaxis at a wedding reception

Painting the bars? Simon are you upgrading the basement security? When are u adding the moat
Another thought on the rising prevalence of allergies I had is that foods from all over the world are available almost everywhere nowadays, so we’re finding out we’re allergic to things that maybe 50-100 years ago we never would have come into contact with. For example, I’m allergic to soy, but probably never would have even found that out about myself in the 1950’s.
So glad i had this to wash down that into the shadows episode 😂
Sudoku isn't a math puzzle. The numbers can be substituted with pictures, letters, whatever. Sudoku is a logic and process of elimination puzzle.
Ken Ken > Sudoku
Sudoku: a "maths" puzzle for people who don't know what maths is
Depends on what type of sudoku you're doing. A lot of variant sudoku involves math
Hi, mathematician here. It is a maths puzzle, just not high school maths. Plenty of higher maths is entirely separated from numbers, not like algebra with letters that represent numbers, but letters that represent arbitrary objects. It is, essentially, logic puzzles.
To put it another way: Sudoku isn't an ARITHMATIC puzzle -- that would be Ken Ken. Sudoku, is, however, a LOGIC puzzle. Mathematics has more than one branch. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
14:06 Just food for thought, Simon, why do you imagine people (especially in the US) get addicted to painkillers? It starts with pain, but since it's so expensive to see a doctor, you take as many otc painkillers as you think your liver can handle. Then when that doesn't cut it anymore you go see a doctor, but since fixing/treating the cause of the pain is prohibitively expensive, you get prescription painkillers instead. Then your tolerance goes higher than the doctor can/will prescribe and you're left supplementing from the black market, until it gets prohibitively expensive and before you can turn around twice you find yourself desperately addicted to heroin. If you're lucky.
ETA There's a pretty good reason they sell otc painkillers in family packs of hundreds and hundreds of pills.
Nice to know I *was* a medical anomaly.
I got bit by a tick shortly after moving back to the US, though I never saw it. I went to the doctor with some symptoms. They ran some tests and found Lyme. (I also tested Equivocal for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which has the same treatment course for Lyme, and could have been from prior infection.) Apparently, they caught the Lyme early, so I *should* be good.
Later, experiencing other issues, they ran some more tests, and Ta-da, Alpha-Gal. My symptoms were fairly mild, thankfully, so accidental ingestion and cross-contamination weren't huge risks. I think it took about 3-ish years to be able to eat red meat again without major issues? I'm still not huge on it after the fact, and only eat it occasionally. I mainly stick to poultry and fish now. From what they told me, it can take between a few months to a few years.
Rocky mountain spotted tick fever is a whole lot more dangerous than Lyme disease, and is contagious as well. For a long time it was not easy to detect, and so uncommon that it was rarely tested for, making it even worse. My father contracted spotted tick fever and was in the hospital dying and being tested for all kinds of shit for two months before the doctors figured it out. This was 35 or more years ago, so sharing of information and consulting with countless colleagues instantly and all that didn't really exist, as well as much more advanced testing methods and blah blah. Ticks are definitely the scourge of the earth and no doubt were created in hell by Satan himself and is one of his most diabolical acts of evil for sure.
I had a side job in college where I got ticks. They liked to climb to my ass crack. One time I was checking my crack for ticks and my roommate came in saw me touching my b-hole while looking at it with a hand mirror. This was kind of hard to explain.
I have epilepsy, and before it was controlled, there were some oddly specific things that would cause way more seizures closer together. I'd have 20-40 focal (stay awake) seizures and 3-4 general (unconcious breakdancing) seizures a day, but a normal day was closer to 20, the 40 was days i used *one very specific* app development program. I used a lot of programming software, but only that specific one shot my seizure rate through the roof.

Yeah, I'm always dosed up in ibuprofen and even Tylenol sometimes. It's called arthritis, Simon. 😂
Rotating through types of painkillers for muscle and joint inflammation and pain is a daily challenge. 😅 Thankfully, some are topical- voltarin is a lifesaver.
Currently treating an inflammation on my right shoulder, I feel ya
I'm at the point where they don't help much with my arthritis anymore.
@@DarkYuy *hug* that’s hard. That’s why doctors want me to rotate NSAIDs, they become less effective over time if used regularly. Do topical treatments help?

I haven’t tried using a TENS unit regularly, but my dad said it helped with his arthritis.

I'm definitely allergic to exercise that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Also bro, who needs 20 minutes and a storyline?
I am legitimately allergic to exercise! I am heat intolerant and increasing my body temperature through movement makes me vomit, lose blood pressure, and lose consciousness. So that's fun.
I can't sweat and have exercise-induced asthma. (Going from cold to warm air also triggers it.) So, yeah. If I try to exercise I often end up having trouble breathing, and if it's not cold out or well AC'd and have good air flow and I'm doing pretty much anything but swimming, I may overheat and get all out of it, possibly dizzy, tired, sometimes nauseous too. One time I actually did puke, and another time my vision went all blue, as in I could see but everything was just in shades of blue. I figured that that was a sign that I needed to take a break. But hey, at least I don't get muscle cramps, because I'm not losing electrolytes through sweating like most people do. I just basically start to cook, that's all. (/s on that last bit.)
I get sex headaches, and they are the worse pain I have ever experienced. It feels like part of my brain has died, I have been admitted into hospital a few times because of it. I have broken bones, given birth 3 times, had appendicitis, had gallstones…. Nothing is as bad as sex headache. Worst pain imaginable. Drs have no idea what it is or how to treat it. Doesn’t happen every time, but when it does happen i feel like I’m dying.
13:50 Unfortunately, painkiller overuse - including ibuprofen and paracetamol / acetaminophen - is definitely a thing. Plenty of people are prescribed regular maximum doses of both these medications long-term; often for vague, non-specific pain that the doctors can't pinpoint a cause for. Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that the use of these medication themselves can be a cause for these non-specific pain.
People in real countries always forget how many Americans are just limping around on the stuff because no one is actually taking care of them.

Right? I don't think I've ever touched a grasshopper. How does one discover this.
@@jesseshort8 eating. They are a good, and reliable, protein substitute. But if you are allergic to shellfish or other bugs that are similar, get an allergy test before chomping down.
You can also develop an allergy to grasshoppers from exposure, most frequently in large quantities, like hundred or thousands of insects in indoor/confined spaces that farm them for pet food, and in university labs conducting studies, all without eating them. From handling them or just by breathing their dead cells and bodily waste, resulting in both respiratory symptoms, eyes and skin reactions up to and including anaphylaxis. 🦗
@@pleasestopscreamingYou never caught them when you were a kid?

In America, Ibuprofen and Tylenol are sold in BOTTLES, like hundreds of pills in one bottle. Ask any woman with a purse if she's got a Tylenol.... She's got it.
3:00 Staright up. I tell people all the time. i hope my body goes before my brain does!
Going to send this to a friend as he found out a few years ago that he can't eat beef or pork but can do chicken and fish without getting violently ill.
The military doc has no clue why it happened, buddy blames his early sailor party life...but im wondering if this explains it. Just know it became my greatest fear of becoming allergic to red meat.
Wonder if this explains it as he does like the outdoors.
Let’s go fact beard- I mean boi
My cousin's husband was allergic to red meat cause of that tick bite. 26 years later final was able to.
😮 your the second one saying that crazy i love Red meat and ticks love me.
I have something called Cough Headaches that are triggered, mostly, from singing. Which sucks because I have a decent voice and love singing.
As for pain meds 😅I also have Ehlers-Danlos Disease (hypermobility), I'm 50 years old and I've been in varying degrees of pain since my teens. For the last 5 years, I take 2 Ibuprofen and 2 Extra Strength Tylenols every day with breakfast whether I need them or not. If pain flairs throughout the day, I'll take another 2 of each.
I get occasional orgasm headaches, with or without my bloke. They usually happen right before. So annoying!
I agree, "The Game" was a phenomenal film! Wish I could see it for the first time again.
In primary school, I had a friend who suddenly became allergic to meat, but I thought she was just vegetarian and lying.
alpha-GAL is not just lone-star tick, there are a few others and chiggs and stuff. and as the critters migrate further north in the US, the allergy is more and more common...
Always funny when Alpha Gal Syndrome gets brought up on lists. I am glad that more and more people are learning about it, because now when I say "Yeah, I'm allergic to red meat" sometimes people go "oh, is that that one tick thing?" instead of "that's not real" like I got for YEARS. I'm one of those lucky people that's been allergic to red meat since 2014.... it never went away. I just got used to it, honestly.
Funny enough, for unrelated reasons, I also am allergic to shellfish and fish, so I only eat poultry. I haven't figured out if I can eat amphibians or reptiles, but considering how my body responds to most animal protein at this point, I'm not going to test it.
I do make the joke all the time though that if there was a zombie apocalypse, at least my zombie self would be fine because humans don't have AG.
14:50 😂 good guess but no. Increase in nut allergy is because of food hygiene improving. I was an immunologis and geneticist, to explain my confidence in the assertion
are you trying to use the member's fees to avoid adverts? if so - freaking awesome dude!
Yes I take Advil religiously. But I have chronic pain. And instead of helping, they now prescribe me opioids. So I guess I win both??
I’ve just recently realised I’m intolerant to eggs. They’re in so many things you never think about, but removing them from my diet has made a massive difference in my life
Wow, i was just taking some ibuprofen for back pain when Simon started talking about how people are constantly taking pain killers...
So if the compound isn't in primates, then we can have Harambe-burgers? Not a bad idea for a new fast food place...
Given the extreme chance for prion diseases when humans eat primates, that seems like a bad idea....

Ad sense, shmad sense. I did my part to patronize a sponsor; finally caved and bought vessi. They're en route. Hoping I can trust your ad choices as much as I trust the info in your videos.
14:00 I took ibuprofen constantly to maintain mobility while aged 45-50ish. Eventually surgically dealt with the arthritis: replaced a hip, a knee, and got a mid foot fusion. Now I don’t need it much at all.
Starfishes really really love you guys
You don't have to guess in Sudoku and Kevin presumably enjoys the YT channel cracking the cryptic.
Since humans are so close to pigs (even tasting the same), does that mean pork is also still a viable option? I mean it's so close that pig carcasses are used as human analogs in tests.
you should do a video on the weirdest generic disorders they can get pretty weird like peeing blue
I have actually been intolerant of raw beef for a period of about 1 year. Whenever I ate carpaccio (raw thinly sliced beef) I would get sick an throw up, and then I was fine again.
Because I love carpaccio, I would try again every now and then - and suddenly, I was okay again. It was really weird.
I mean... when you can buy a 1000ct bottle of 500mg Acetaminophen/Paracetamol for $10 from our good friend Costco, or a similar volume of ibuprofen for nearly the same ridiculously low price, overuse isn't surprising.
Only half joking, but a lot of us know something is wrong but we're ignoring it with the aid of OTC stuff because [various reasons for not getting to a doctor]
Those reasons including: Cost, and scheduling out patients absurdly far out. Like seriously, by the time the doctor gets the chance to look at the problem, it will have either killed me, or resolved itself! :(
Or because one was given various medicines to fix the issue but not only none work, they drove me into mania. No thanks, I will risk my liver, but give me back my mind.
My brothers partner and her father both developed meat allergies suddenly within a couple years of each other. They are assuming it was from a tick but they never saw one.
100 mile an hour car crashes are frequently fatal
150 mile per hour accidents on the Autobahn are survived frequently.
Not the speed but your cars and the roads are deadly ❤
