why is this so true?
Apparently Wintergreen oil doesn't have a strong flavour. I was thinking the same thing but another person commented about it.
Preach!
So dunmer children is equally stupid to human children? Interesting.
Child was dumb but mother was dumber.
"BB was able to make a full recovery"
Never was I more glad to hear him say that line at the end.
Waited 13min for that relief.
Ikr!! I thought the poor boy was going to die towards the end. I cannot STAND parents like this.. My child when he was 1-4 never left my sight... This shit only happens when you let children be second in your life.
It would've been awful if there was only A recovery. Wonder if the mother is doing better as well, though.
Hmm, my child is vomiting and my essential oil jars are empty and tipped over. Was probably the wind or something.
@@gustafandersson237 Like a Skyrim NPC who took an arrow in the Eyeball
Honestly, that kid vomiting after drinking those essential oils might have just saved his life. If that entire bottle had stayed in his system, he could’ve easily died, even with medical intervention.
I remember my grandma telling me that just because you can put it on your skin doesn't mean you can eat it, she also told me the exact opposite when it comes to vegetables and fruits. figs are delicious, but put them on your skin for too long and you will get chemical burns and loss of sensation
Your grandma is one smart lady. 👍
Really! I had no idea!
Squash is a great example. I love squash, but I once cut a butternut squash and got this crazy contact dermatitis. Apparently this is pretty common. I could feel my skin shrinking on my hands. And it was only on the hand that was holding the squash. I wear gloves for squash now.
Essential oils are now officially added to the ChubbyEmu canon.
There is a cannon?
Can't wait to have my essential oil spiked lava lamp fluid with my gas station silica gel sushi
Gas station essential oils?
We also have a new experiment, mixing baking soda and vinegar!
@@tommeng6522 "Karen did not have soy sauce for her month old gas station sushi she left on the table. She decided to use her essential oils instead. 'it is good for my health anyway' she thought.
After eating her meal, she drank 6 cans of energy drink to help it go down, because she started to have stomach cramps."
I'm surprised he drank a whole bottle of wintergreen. As a toddler my son ate IcyHot (also salicylate) and I knew immediately because he was screaming (on account of the menthol). I took him to the hospital and they considered giving him charcoal, but they just observed him for a while. The doctor said that he almost certainly spit the IcyHot out and likely didn't swallow it. He was fine.
I still don't know how he got the IcyHot.
Toddlers, man.
istg toddlers will find everything no matter how hard you try
I did this aswell as toddler ❤❤❤
I _literally_ took a sigh of relief when I heard "full recovery", thank goodness. I'm glad the poor boy wasn't hurt 🥺

It's said that smart people can dumb down phrases for others to understand it better, but intelligent people can explain things so that others feel more intelligent while understanding it. I feel like ChubbyEmu fits the latter (intelligent). 😊

Y'all aren't the brightest, are you?
I went into a health food store and I asked the pharmacist, “have you got any peppermint tea” and he said no, “but you can put peppermint essential oil into ordinary tea to give it that flavour” - I told him what I thought of him for giving such advice...
Good for you. I hope he listened to you, you could have just saved how many lives.
why not ask an employee that would know where the tea is?
pharmacists (in my experience and opinion) don't recommend anything they don't know about, especially essential oils and especially when they paid to go to college to specialize in pharmaceuticals
@@jadeitetellurian They probably weren’t a real pharmacist. Some of those “health food” stores are dicey. Self proclaimed nutritionists/dietitians/pharmacists/doctors.
Maybe he meant peppermint extract cuz wtf????
Wouldn't it make more sense fore him to tell you to buy fresh peppermint and grind it up and make loose leaf tea?
You're able to walk this fine line of meme culture and actual advise that educates people about the body. Amazing
This is the key to a great educator. Not the memes per se, but the ability to "be human", and achieve a connection to your viewer or student, in order to facilitate learning.
Memes just happen to work quite well for some people. XD
Right, I was just about to make a comment about that but you beat me to it (and said it with much more eloquence).
@@MartinFinnerup insinuating some educators/scintists/drs? are not human 🤔
can you... not?
that idea is in the core of every anti- intellectualism strain out there.
and humanity doesn't need reinforcement of that trope...
While it's ofc hugely beneficial to explain things clearly and in engaging way, not everyone has the skill and it's... somewhat fine. We wouldn't have enough people to teach if we expected highest levels only.
We should be encouraging students/public to be more intellectually engaged and curious as well, regardless of how fun the material is. Some science things are complex and hopelessly boring.
I know you didn't think anything bad by it, _intentionally_
and I hope you get what I mean...
(nnes, hopefully I didn't mess up with grammar or something, too much)

A solution for arthritic people: They make lids that require a small magnet to open. They're kind of expensive but you can put that magnet on a ring and presto! A magic bottle that only moms can open.
I came to the comments to see if anyone had any solutions for this because it seems like this sort of accident could be pretty common
yeah, my parents used magnetic locks to childproof cabinets when i was a kid. they kept the key magnet on top of the fridge, well out of my reach
ironically, i struggle a lot more with the push and twist caps now than i did was a kid (older than BB, but still single digits), so it's always good to know the full gamut of options out there in case i need to childproof
Hey that's really cool and useful. I'll remember this for the future. Thanks!
@Bill Courtney obviously in most cases essential oils are not a substitute for normal medication at all, but that doesn't mean they're useless - like in the video, as he said, wintergreen oil has the same active ingredient as over-the-counter topical medications, so the wintergreen oil served the same purpose in that case
@Bill Courtney They actually are good solvents, especially for cleaning. They’re not totally useless.
We might not have House MD anymore, but we have Chubbyemu! This would have made a great episode. Imagine going through the differential diagnosis!
Ohhh, the absolute roast House would've rained on the mother 😭 damn, i miss that show
Recently, I had hives on over half of my body, and was so itchy I wanted to scrape all the skin off my body. After it happened a 2nd time, I was able to narrow it down to a soap I used when visiting my parents house. My mom mixed a scent free soap with a lot of cinnamon oil. I'm very allergic to the cinnamon oil. Each time I had to do multiple rounds of Benadryl for 2-3 days. Thankfully I made a full recovery. ;-)
Why the hell would you go out of your way to put your child's allergen in your soap? Unless you literally never go to her house that doesn't make any sense to do
nvm I'm dumb it was probably an undiscovered allergy -_-
to be fair, my mom is also allergic to cinnamon so sometimes I forget it isn't common
A person used cinnamon-tainted soap. This is what happened to their skin.
looking through some soap making videos on youtube, cinnamon is NOT supposed to go in soaps anyways 💀 The "how to cook that" lady did some debunking on that I think?
Remember to contact poison control. Little children put everything in their mouth. And don’t know the difference between candy and poison.
honestly. even as an adult some oils and non edible things just smell sooo good i want to eat them lol. but the difference is, I know better
Pets too!
Well, since candy, mainly sugar is also a poison it just takes a few decades to ruin your body.
@@oldtimergaming9514 you guys are stupid, poison dosent exsist but poisoning amaunt
@@oldtimergaming9514 That isn’t really comparable? If drink enough water it can also kill you. Are brains are made of many things one of those being sugar. Completely avoiding sugar can also kill you. The dose makes the poison here.
If you ever feel like avoiding‘dangerous’ foods maybe seek a doctor. That’s usually a sigh of a Ed or disorder eating in general.
In the beginning, when you said there was a three-year-old and the mom was into essential oils, I knew immediately that it was wintergreen poisoning. People don't know that wintergreen (as in the flavor) is essentially aspirin, and pure wintergreen oil (methyl salicylate, really) doesn't taste nearly as strong as you would expect. In fact, it doesn't taste much more wintergreeny than a wintergreen gumdrop does, even fully concentrated. This makes it extra dangerous, since it never tastes like too much. It's totally different than menthol (aka peppermint oil, basically) which tastes like concentrated minty ice with fire and burning. I feel like this should be something we teach people. And, yes, methyl salicylate is (a/the) flavoring that wintergreen candies and gum use (there are others, but the original is still fairly common). They're flavored with aspirin. It doesn't take much to give you the flavor, but adding more doesn't increase the flavor anything like what you'd expect, which is a big part of the danger. You can't tell how much you've gotten by taste, and the pure flavor doesn't taste particularly bad by itself, which is a bad combo when kids get into it.
Thank you for explaining this! I was very confused how/ why the kid would drink something that tasted horrible since other essential oils are not something you'd want to drink. Even kids won't drink stuff that tastes bad making it hard to accidentally swallow a bottle of other essential oils.
This needs to be pinned.
👍
Aspirin for flavouring? Poison in everything FFS
@@FSMonster everything is a poison. What matters is the dose.
Makes it quite similar to Eucalyptus oil in that case, you really wouldn't notice the difference between eating Aussie Drops - Eucalyptus (stronger flavour) and sipping a bottle of 100% on flavour alone.
And I'll be the first to admit to accidental ingestion of 100% from cross contamination. For something that's used all across the country as a cleaning product I was pretty amazed at just how little it takes to ruin your day, and the difference between a non fatal dose and fatal dose is equally small.
After what I experienced - both physically and mentally I'm pretty glad that I wasn't consciousness for the latter part of the ordeal. But before I lost consciousness I was told I appeared heavily intoxicated, slurred speech, inability to walk/stand without assistance. What was going on in my head was a lot worse.
This is the first time ive ever seen a mother not connect the dots immediately, when she seen the bottle toppled over. Like i have a nephew and if i seen a bottle of anything empty on a reachable surface for kids i would instantly go to the kid and take them to emerge while calling posion control.
Right I was like she’s dumb asf for that
She probably knew what was up, but was in denial because it's her fault that the kid was able to open it and is in this condition
My thought exactly. Did she really think the bottles spontaneously fell, or that she somehow knocked them over without realizing? How did she not run immediately to her child and smell his breath?
When I was 2 (in 1987) I drank approximately 2 tablespoons of wintergreen oil after sneaking into a room at my grandparent's house. I stopped responding twice on the way to the hospital. After the same treatment that was featured here, I recovered. I have had alot of gastrointestinal issues throughout my life as a result, though.
💀
Your the same age as my brother I was 7 in 1987
Crazy, my baby brother drank wintergreen oil about 20 years ago. My parents noticed immediately and rushed him to the hospital where he got his stomach pumped and luckily was completely fine, but I had never considered just how much of a close call that was.
thanks for sharing. glad he was OK. the longer it's in the body, the more complicated things become
Methyl salicylate, in large quantities, don't play.
@@chubbyemu This reminds me of "The longer the Icon of Sin is on earth, the stronger it will become".
@@saps2007 🔥🔥
he was able to make a full recovery
"... and BB was able to make a ... full recovery."
The slight pause nearly gave me a heart attack it was packed with so much tension.
Same. I had such a foreboding vibe the whole video, I was truly expecting BB to not make it.
I would've thought his freezing cold fresh breath would've been detectable from a couple feet away.
That was definitely a cliff-hanger! Thank heavens he had a full recovery. From watching this channel, I have an incredible respect for emergency room doctors.
I feel like you need to regard these things like any other medicine when you have children around. They get into any and EVERYTHING
Essential oils are not medicine.
Really enjoyed your starship trooper recent episode
Yo fellow roanoker!
@@Rift2123 Glad you enjoyed it bro!
@@georgejones3526 I said they need to be regarded as such in terms of how they can absolutely shrek your body if ingested. Sort of like how taking 66 asprin or an entire container of flintstone vitamins is not a good idea either
This video was phenomenal, not only does it say "here's what happened, and here is how it ended" but it also says why it's happening and give examples and reasoning for all of it. Truly one of your best videos.

I absolutely love this channel. I am a toxicology veterinary technician who works with poison control. I wish every day they had a site with a video section like this for veterinary cases
I will never forget as a kid, probably 5 or 6, my grandmother had brought over a bottle of grape juice... which was actually filled with kerosene. I stuck my finger in and took a taste and realized it was bitter.
My dad noticed and thought I had taken a swig from the bottle and started panicking, trying to make me vomit while my mom was calling poison control.
Took me 30 minutes to convince them that I just tasted it and didn't actually drink it. Never made that mistake again.
When I was 5 years old my little brother who was 3 years old at the time drank floor wax. I remember seeing him holding the bottle with the cap off. He was blue around his mouth. I took the bottle from him and ran to our Mom. I told our Mom what happened. The ambulance rushed my brother to the ER. He got his stomach pumped. He made a full recovery.
He owes you! Good job sis!
By saving his life you forever earned the sibling right to both make fun of him afterwards as well as hold it over his head to acquire things like the window seat or the last twizzler.
My little brother tried to eat my grandpa's heart meds when we were children (he had left them beside his bed, irresponsibly), we found him with his clothes stained with the contents of the capsules. He was taken to hospital for the night but didn't develop any symptoms. The drug tasted so bad he presumably spat it right out, luckily so as he very well may have died if he didn't, IIRC it was some real toxic anti-arrhytmic drug
Well that's better than quote unquote a recovery
Oh Jesus, how terrifying.
My favourite thing about being a healthcare student is that the moment I heard rapid breathing and fever my mind snapped to acidosis. I love watching these videos because it reminds me how much I’m actually learning
Keep it up, we need more healers in the world.
I’m in a similar situation, I want to go to medical school after I graduate with my chemical engineering degree, and I recognized the terminology when it came to acids and the inability to flush the acid out once it bonded with the hydrogen ions… it’s cool recognizing what’s actually taking place!
@@jasonpollard5889 Is this possible with a chemical engineering degree? I'm also currently undertaking a chemical engineering course
@@goddamn3880 yeah! My friend’s dad was an engineer and he’s a radiologist, and one of my other friend’s stepdad got his Chemical engineering degree and he’s now a doctor! They’ve told me that they like engineering students for medicine because they know that you can solve problems and have good work ethic!
@@WiscoKnight0806 I unfortunately don't think I'd be suited for the actual healing, at least right now. I've settled for medical record keeping which my mother, a nurse and the reason I think I grew to love healthcare, says is vital to how most hospitals and healthcare systems work these days. A lot of paperwork in my career but I am required to understand how the body and disease work so who knows where I'll go from there?
This kid is gonna grow up to be the best multilevel marketer.
"I almost died for my cause"
Taking care of children really is a challenge that requires superhuman powers. Accidents do happen, even with the most attentive and careful parents. I'm glad the team at the ER was able to save the little boy, his mother could never have forgiven herself had something bad happened to her son. To all parents out there, give you kids a hug and have a wonderful day.

Menthol, not to be confused with methanol! THAT one will hurt you
There was no greater moment of tension when you said "BB was able to make A" and no greater moment of relief when you said "FULL recovery."
after the son got sick on essential oils the mom probably went on facebook to ask which essential ooils will fix that

GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! I want to cut my toenails... NEVER! I am the feet TH-camr. Thanks for being a fan, dear slo
I think this is a fictionalized story, but based on similar real cases. Those other cases might not had had a full recovery.
@@mfaizsyahmi Iirc they're all case studies, the names are altered for anonymity but everything else should be intact.
Kids are weirdly good at bouncing back.
@@mfaizsyahmi @BomberHarris not only are these real published case studies the reason why he names patients by initials, is that is how a patient from a case study is referred to protect their identity when their case is published in a medical journal. It's common practice whenever there is data needs to be shared for reasons outside of patient care. Like my team needed to turn our program stats in regularly for statewide tracking and outcomes stats we had systems on how to initial everyone, even down to weird possibilities like identical initials.
Part of what makes CE so good is that he is nerdy to the extent he can do dramatic re enactments of research articles and make them entertaining. All med journal lit is equally heavy and dry since very careful and techinical language is needed. Even riveting papers can wear me out from the tedium.
This one is extra scary to me considering the fact that when I was a kid my parents got on the essential oils kick and often times drank them/took pills of them/forced me to drink them and take pills of them. People should absolutely be informed about how dangerous they can be because everything that's seen as "natural" for some reason is always seen as "safe".
Mike Rowe had a great rebuttal to the “Natural equals safe!” thing on an episode of Dirty Jobs involving charcoal. Someone was nonchalant about all the charcoal dust in the air because “It’s natural!” and Mike replied something like, “Sharks are natural! Hurricanes are natural!”

Some a$$ of a pharmacy sold peppermint oil without stating it was an essential oil. I had it in my food cupboard forever until one day I added it to my tea. That single drop spread like gasoline on the surface of the drink. Toxic like hell!
Holy crap
Really glad to hear that he was able to make a full recovery. It always makes me sad when the video ends with "was able to make 'a' recovery".
My mom once tried to convince me to drink a small bottle of essential oil for my bad stomach ache. This oil is commonly use as some sort of reliever and I'm pretty sure my mom thinks it would help if I drank the entire bottle directly.
Being a teenager with the tendency to read warnings, I adamantly refused and I knew my mom wouldn't give up so easily so I read the ant sized words on it until I found the words " WARNING: For external use only!" After pushing a little more, she gave up.
Edit: Oops, I forgot to mention, my mom has never been to high school so that probably explains why she's so stupid. And yes, she didn't bother to read the warnings and stuff.
Even if you can't read the warning labels of a medicine, you should at least ask someone to read for you right? Not just forget about it and use it the way you wish.
Wtaf thats messed up
She tried to hurt you because those things are known to be very concentrated and you pretty much NEVER use a whole bottle at one for anything even tho it is a small bottle. Next time, tell your mom to drink some first ;) or just educate her that you cannot drink it
Wait how is it even possible to not go to high school?
In my country (Germany) law enforcement would get involved because we have a 12 year long obligation to go to some form of school. One of my former classmates had tried to drop out early and was taken to school by authorities for a while and at some point she was sentenced to some amount of hours doing community service, because she kept not showing up to class. She was also sent to a therapist. I have no idea how she is doing now, as she was kicked out of school at some point and she went to another school then.
So while it is possible here to not go to high school I guess, it would be extremely stressful, because you would keep getting punished all the time.
@@LunaRuna212 Maybe they are from a third world country. I know in some third world countries where they really struggle with money, the give the best of everything to the men, so maybe she had a brother and they only had enough money to send the brother to school while his mom had to stay home and learn how to cook and clean and grow food etc
@@mariejuana2993 for some reason I doubt that essential oils are that popular in third world countries, but how would I know.

Listening to the Chubbyemu videos over the past number of years is what convinced me to go back to school for biochemistry with hopes of becoming a toxicologist. I only wish there were more videos a month, but these videos must take a ton of time and effort to make. I really appreciate the links to all the related literature.
This is so great to hear! I love seeing the content creators I think are bad-ass inspiring others. Best wishes!

BB watching this ten years from now, wondering why he always feels like there’s evergreen pumping through his veins : 👁👄👁 “Mooooommm-“
Poor BB. That must've been an agonizing experience. I'm glad he survived.
I have virtually no medical knowledge beyond what I learned at school and yet I can understand these videos perfectly.
it's the magic of chubby, mate.
Because he dumbed it down, lol.
I also don’t have any medical knowledge beyond what I learned in school, and I hardly understand anything in these videos 😂😂
I’m not saying the vids are difficult to understand, I‘m saying my schools didn’t teach me shit
I think the real challenge is keeping all the information in your head at once, or being able to synthesize it on the spot. Simple once you know it, but I wouldn't know how to find it.
I can't imagine how guilty and terrified this mom would have been seeing her kid like this!
I know right!? I feel sorry for her ... You don't need to be a cruel, negligent or a horrible parent to cause harm to your child. Children are so bold and at the same time they are so delicate. It's terrifying...
@@ruthl.8069 This time we can actually feel sorry, as it being essential oils didn't really contribute to the accident, as any household chemical or pill bottle would seem particularly interesting to a small child. And the child is innocent by definition.
But to be honest, I feel far less sorry for people that fall victim only to their own stupidity, as are most of the accidents showcased.
Stupid is as stupid does
i would feel guilty, but to be fair, this could occur with any sort of cleaner or alcohol.
Lets take it as a stern reminder and warning.
Never stop doing these vids. Your providing the world with a at hand guide to proper diagnosis’ in everyday life situations
This is the most informative and fascinating channel on TH-cam in my opinion. The content is just amazing but the delivery is so good. I'm sure at least a few people have become toxicologists, or doctors, because of this dude's work. Keep on.
the comment i saw above yours happened to detail someone going back into becoming a toxicologist because of chubbyemu, lol
The best words in this case was - "BB was ably to make full recovery." Such a relief to hear that.🤗
Yay! I was so stressed out I had to know.
especially the FULL I was expecting death tbh
Agreed! It was very much a "thank goodness for that!" moment!
Definitely used to coerce people to watch the whole video because we want to know what happened. Nothing wrong with this and almost every book or movie does this as well because what would the fun be. Very smart way to do this.
I had to keep reminding myself to breathe during this video. I was so nervous for the toddler!
The salt bag is my favorite recurring character in this show
I thought it was a cattail in water at first because my TH-cam was in mini view.

The child laughing at the end got me all emotional, glad BB survived
My mom was an aromatherapist when I was a kid. She told me, ever since I could crawl, not to touch the oils, or to drink them- especially not the wintergreen. It probably saved my life, because I was able to open 'child safety' caps by four. Luckily I was also a smart kid, never just "took" anything irresponsibly. But my brother? I'm very glad that my mom hid the oils from him because Idk if he would've made it man
Lol, glad ur brother is okay.
emotional damage
Uhhh… so that means she bothered to hide them from your brother, but when you were crawling around she basically just left them sitting around and used the honor system with your infant self? Lol
@@joseph5166 she learned
It's pretty normal, kids have personalities the same way adults do. My sister would always try and sneak out to the kitchen when everyone was sleeping (she wanted to cook, but baby idea of cooking was covering the stove in flour and turning on all the elements), while I had one time and then never did it again once I learned kitchen things hot.
Same there, some kids listen, others decide tide pods sound like a fun thing to try.
I’m glad he’s okay. I was worried that it was going to turn him into a multilevel marketer.
Comment gold 🏅 😂
I'm mad at myself for laughing... but I'm still laughing!
I love how you translate the medical term. It makes it easier to understand the words being used and it helps understand what the issue is that's being talked about. It also assumes we are smart and can understand medical terms and they aren't scary words.
Hi! I'm currently a grad student having metabolic biochem and youtube recommended me this. Thanks for cookies I guess haha. Loved this video a lot! Your way of explaining things and the video itself, the editing and images are all on point. Thank you for doing this work!
Honestly, it's VERY simple. NEVER ingest ANY essential oils! My husband died in 2014 of diabetic complications during a bout of flu. He was an organ and tissue donor and, when the transplant team op5him up to retrieve his liver, they found it completely saturated by oils that he had been ingesting (2 drops at a time, every morning in a protien shake) over the course of the previous 18 months! His official cause of death is listed as being 2 things: diabetic ketoacidosis and extreme liver malfunction. He was 32. Think about it and really research what you are putting into your body BEFORE you put it in your mouth!
Woah! I am so sorry for your loss. Which oils was your husband ingesting? I’ve never heard of drinking essential oil for health reason
@@babigirl9111 damn, my mom fools around with that shit from time to time. I'll have to ask her whether she injests any of it.
@@ahtoshkaa hopefully she did not ingest those oils. i witnessed some dumbass touched NaHO solution in the school lab and literally burned his hand cuz its a hot exothermic solution. never play bullshits against chemicals of any kind, or its going to be a painful experience.
edit: im not sure its the lye solution with water or maybe its something else but i remember he yank his hand out and we had to call an ambulance while we drenched his hand in water. maybe its just pure acid and he's that dumb. never contact him after highschool tho. the guy just .. special?
But those are aromatics, why would you drink aromatics? However it is hard to believe that liver was completely saturated by essential oils, could he also be an alcoholic?

the way you explain things in these videos is actually incredible, kudos to you for putting everything into layman's terms for us !
My sister drank Barbie perfume right in front of me and our mom. She was old enough to explain, "Hot, HOT!"
Mom called poison control and she was fine, but it makes a pretty hilarious story in hindsight.
I love how you explain everything in detail, so we all can feel like medical experts for five minutes.

these videos have helped me a bit in nursing school. Some topics brought up in class are more like review to me.
@@kali6651 yeah we know
@@kali6651 lmao why are you so worked up about it?
I had my four toddlers boys get into the alcohol I used for cleaning my pierced earrings. This was before the days of childproof caps, and we all got to spend a fun evening in the emergency ward. I never knew if they actually drank any of it but I found them, with the cap off the bottle, so I had to assume the worst. Fortunately, they all survived the experience but it gave me a few grey hairs.
Rubbing alcohol doesn't have child resistant caps to this day surprisingly but glad they're okay! The best thing to do is lock all the cabinets around the house where you keep medication and chemicals with a child resistant locks. But even then small children can manage to unlock then so they're just deterrents. Nothing can replace parental supervision.
@@liliumjade I've heard that kids learn pretty young that clear bottles with bright liquid are yummy drinks and opaque bottles are not usually not edible. It's not foolproof so it obviously shouldn't be the only safety measure, but changing out your containers for cleaning chemicals to opaque ones can reduce risk of accidents
glad everyone was okay!
It's kinda shocking child-proof caps are not on All toxic household products, cleansers, pill bottles, etc.. I don't have any children, so such a thing is rarely on my mind, unless I hear a story like this!.. Reminds me of the stickers from poison control they had when I was a kid "Mr Yuk" and while a novel idea, they tended to be counterproductive and (to my knowledge) are no longer used!?.
@@harmonicaveronica That introduces another danger though. You lose the label detailing the ingredients - so if the child DOES get into the bottle, you only have whatever you wrote on the bottle to go by. Unless you take the labels off the originals and put them on...but you didn't say that and most people wouldn't think to do that.
Really it’s the mom’s negligence that caused that it almost always is with these types of scenarios
Bernard you are a hero brother! Blessings & warm regards. Thank you for explaining the physiology of medicine of the acid base system & respiration regulatory mechanisms // you're excellent at explaining these stories and the science of medicine in an easily intelligible way so that more people can understand more :) Thus you are an excellent doctor & excellent teacher! Cheers brother ~
My dad started giving me essential oils in little capsules, but I only took one once to appease him. It made my stomach hurt, so when he gave me it again I just kept throwing it away. Eventually he learned he was literally giving me poison and told me. He was so apologetic. He was happy to hear that I only took it the one time and threw the rest away, lol.
but why tho
@@chelsea5389 i was given essential oil capsules for anxiety once. sometimes parents try things to help

@@Sceptonic don’t. they weren’t anti-meds or anything, they were just trying to have some extra things to possibly

@@niaram the smell of essential oils calmed you down or eating it in a capsule
I was glad to hear this was a legitimate case of 'it was an accident' and not similar to cases i have personally dealt with, wherein mommy dearest decided her Young Living Essential Oils were the perfect way to treat baby's upset tummy.
Unfortunately, that case did not end well for the child, with a long road to recovery, if any recovery happens at all. Partial paralysis, cognitive delays as a result of extensive brain damage, and liver failure, just to name a few of the more obvious results of making your child drink essential oils to treat a sugar induced belly ache.
these are the same people that make their children take the quackcine.
The worst thing I've heard of along these lines is from a series of screenshots where a woman is asking a woo-woo facebook group to help her justify her decision to deny her newborn baby a vitamin K shot. A few weeks later she posted again that the baby was in the hospital for a brain bleed and she wanted her facebook friends to help her come up with an explanation for the bleed (people were suggesting that the baby had been vaxxed behind the parents' backs rather than acknowledging how important vitamin K is to preventing bleeds in babies). A week or so after that, she was posting that her baby MUST have been "poisoned" by the doctors behind her back and that there was little brain activity. She refused to listen any time a medical professional tried to explain why het baby's blood didn't clot.
Its weird how you make a sane comment but infuse it completely with you emotions.

This is SUCH an awesome video, especially with the essential oil craze. Can't thank you enough for making these videos!
Holy crap you scared me with this one. I thought the little dude was a goner! Thank u. As a former MICU nurse I miss this stuff.
Working as _anyone_ (doctors, nurses, admin, cleaning staff, the guy who restocks the laundry…) in a NICU sounds like one of the most stressful jobs on the planet.

@@liesdamnlies3372 my daughter was in a NICU for 2 months and I swear to you I couldn't do it. She was very sick with NEC but miraculously ( per the Docs that is) she pulled thru and is 34 now and a mom❤
I felt so bad for the mother, hearing him say a full recovery was a huge relief.
edit: I’m surprised by how many people think that the mother doesn’t deserve sympathy, It’s quite unsettling.
It was lure irresponsibility on her end. If the story isn't embellished, she not only left her oils, knowing it was a risk for her son, but then neglectfully didn't investigate for hours after her bottles were tipped over, with no spillage, cause they were consumed, and also didn't know if she forgot about knocking them over herself. She deserved all the heartache for her son who deserved none of the pain and suffering.
@@HarryPotter-yc2cr You're not a parent are you? Mama made a mistake, one she will never forgive herself for. A moment of inattention or absentmindedness is all it takes.
@@HarryPotter-yc2cr It was purely an accident. To assume accidents won't happen when parenting is ridiculous. Murphy's law, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong, and that seems to always apply with children. She wasn't any worse than most parents, she did everything she could and the fact it happened was just unfortunate. No parent is built to be so hyper vigilant they immediately think to clean everything up when they're going for a, probably what they assumed would be quick, phonecall. Especially when the child is young, recently learned to walk, open things, etc. and the parent may not have so much experience with hiding them every time. Leaving something out and your child getting into it seems to happen at least once in every parents life, but sometimes you're unlucky enough to have it be something toxic.
Also, we don't know the full situation, it's likely that since the oils were described as "in a mess", there absolutely was spillage.
@@ghostdagreat Dude she came back to her bottles knocked over and nothing spilled out. I don't really care for people who try to justify child endangerment
@@radonbox6569 we literally don't know if there was nothing spilled out 😐 she said it was a mess. That implies that there was spill. It wouldn't be that weird if she'd accidentally knocked them over getting up.
Great work on the video, always manages to freak me out about different things but also widens my sight on how different stuff affects our bodies
You explain very complex systems very well. Lay people can understand, and people like MMR that learned all this stuff fifty years ago in college don't feel talked down to. Thank you. Thank you also for covering this particular subject.

When I was in college for care aide, my nursing instructor told me about a suicidal elderly resident she had. He had slashed his wrists before, so he was on watch. She said he came to her and told her he had drank a bottle of oil of Wintergreen, he didn't have dementia and was very decided he didn't want to live anymore.. He did die from drinking the oil of Wintergreen.
I don’t know the story behind this, but I wish mental health at nursing homes needs to be made better. People never visit their grandparents and distant relatives sometimes, and that’s a problem. Next time you see your grandparents, tell them you love them. It could be your last chance. Elderly folk could pass at any moment and many times you can’t predict, but that doesn’t mean suicide isn’t common. It’s quite the opposite. I try to keep those in nursing homes in my thoughts.
This is why we need to legalize assisted suicide. They should have been able to choose a safe, peaceful death.
@@Name-km6bx Or how about we address the mental illness.
@@aliveandwellinisrael2507 Why not both? Have the first option for the terminally ill that don’t want to go out the slow and painful way and the second option for everyone else.

You’re sane and able to make that kind of decision or b. You’re not sane, but can’t be made better so it’s not reasonable to remove that choice from you, else c. You cannot go through with it.

Waiting for the FULL recovery or A recovery was tense in this one. My son has HLHS and had 3 open heart surgeries, so I know what it’s like with a hospitalized child. Glad he made a FULL recovery.
I had an open heart surgery when I was 4 due to some kind of a defect. I'm now 22, and thinking about what my parents had to go through at the time is honestly unreal.
I remember only bits and pieces from my time in the hospital, but one moment I remember as clearly and vividly as if it happened yesterday: the day when I was discharged from the hospital, it was a beautiful sunny day, me in the middle and my parents holding my hands and helping me walk (had to re-learn walking since I was bedridden for so long), and me being confused why they're smiling and crying at the same time.
I wish only the best to your son and you, you're both really, really strong!
Thank you for doing these videos. For the first time I was able to understand the how the body functions. I am 56 and this is the first time I was able to understand science because of the way you have explained everything. This is my gift. Thank you. ♥️
The thorough explanations are fascinating. Thanks. 😁👍
Holy crap was that a wild roller coaster ride. Props to the med team on this case. It is absolutely incredible what human beings can recover from.
The human body is incredibly sophisticated yet incredibly stupid. Humans can heal broken bones and over/under nutrition and worse than hell itself and bounce back within a few months. Yet somehow, the air passage and the food passage intersect at the top of the esophagus and you can choke on your own saliva.
I can't imagine the emotional pain that mother would have been going through between realizing what had happened and her son recovering. And even "child proof" caps aren't necessarily toddler proof. I remember when my daughter was 3 she opened a pharmacy prescription bottle containing amoxicillin capsules while I was in the washroom and when I came out I noticed a few of them in a doll's dish like play food. I frantically ran around gathering them all up and counting them. One was missing, another was wet like she'd tried it and spit it out. Thankfully the missing one was under the couch, but I didn't find it before calling poison control to make sure it wasn't a problematic dose for a kid her size just in case.
Omg I feel for you and that poor mom-- accidents happen and they happen so fast with little kids!!! Hell, my kids could climb to top shelves and outsmart some child proof packaging; we have to keep meds and cleaning supplies in locked cupboards D: I'm so glad your little one didn't actually swallow the pills!
I never had my son get into anything like this, but when he was 2 or 3 he liked to play a game where he would pretend to be falling/sliding off the end on my bed (it's not far, he could stand any time) and i'd pull him back up. Well, he did it one time and when I thought he wanted back up he decided it was time to slide back down. I didn't know anything happened as I pulled him back up he was quiet and I didn't pull hard at all, but then he raised his head and I saw the dreaded silent scream and then the scream came out. I knew what it was immediately, nursemaids elbow. And it was MY fault. I took him to the ER, on a weekend, with him nonstop crying. After about 45 minutes in the waiting room, and literally just as his name was being called, he sat up and started moving his arm like normal again and said he felt fine. The elbow had slowly slid back into place on its own. I've never been so relieved in my life.
thanks for helping me freshen up on my current chemistry material while also entertaining me! awesome video. my professor should really show this in class.
Oh, my, excellent teaching. You got my attention every second.
I really did NOT expect that child to live through that incident. I am so VERY grateful that he survived!
When my son was 3 he could disarm all available cabinet locks and gates. Needless to say I never "baby talked" him and worked to develop very strong communication skills to keep him safe. Got very lucky that he was curious and active but not defiant. Having kids is so terrifying when they're mushy.
They learn quickly enough that the thing they couldn't do yesterday they can do easily tomorrow, and you don't know until they have done it.

moral of the story: we need artritis friendly safety caps
No, the moral story is - don't fuck up and almost kill your kid because you decide to switch out the fucking safety caps.
My mom has edibles for arthritis and she put them in a different container bc she couldnt open the child safety caps. she figured its whatever because no babies or small children come to her house, but our dog managed to open the container somehow (we still have no idea i mean he doesnt even have hands like wtf) and ate a bunch of them. it seemed like he had a stroke but thankfully he was fine the next day. i'm sure this happens a LOT and leads to a lot of deaths

@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania if humans said “survival of the fittest” and did nothing to protect their children’s safety then nobody would live into adulthood. including you.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania some parents also have room temperature IQ (in celsius).
Those of us who are old enough can remember the MR. YUK campaign and public service announcement by the poison control center. Most toddlers were terrified of him. The idea to make a child scared of him , and then put his face stickers on Poisons was brilliant and it seemed to work.
this is the first i've heard of Mr. yuk but that is really really cute and such a good idea
I remember those stickers!
I've never heard of it before being from Europe, but I just Googled it and *wow*! I'm a 22 year old and that sticker gives me the heebie jeebies - I'm sure it was highly effective to repel kids from drinking random stuff under the sink. Damn, that face is creepy
Can I thankyou for your work and these clinical presentations.
I teach ACLS/PALS/ATLS to medical, nursing and EMS and your presentations are fantastic tutorials for getting so much information across in such a short, succinct manner. Your material may very well save many lives as they provide a great framework for understanding the toxicology and physiology of the types of problems that are atypical presentations and not usually covered so well in traditional CME.
