Throat Infection Under the Microscope
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Microscopic footage of white blood cells and bacteria from my throat during an infection.
I deduced I had Group-C streptococcus laryngitis based on the following criteria:
*Contact with someone who had a strep infection
*Sore throat and difficulty speaking, infection lasted about a week
*I had gray spots on my tongue although none on my tonsils
*Gram positive streptococcus isolated from the white spots on my tongue
*Streptococcus was beta-hemolytic and resistant to bacitracin and Sulfamethoxazole / Trimethoprim
My education is not in medicine so I could be wrong.
Camera - Nikon D3300
Microscope - Leica ATC 2000
Microscope magnification of each shot is shown in the bottom right hand corner.

It really warms my heart how millions of these tiny soldiers constantly defend me and have to die in the end
Are they part of you? They have the same dna
They are you and you are them.
Sounds like WH40K
Nah they'll respawn shortly
They didn't die... they just respawn.
It's kinda inspiring how some of my body parts have a bigger desire to live than myself
That's because your confusing your psychological structure for existential reality. Try meditating I'm sure it'll help
@@shadow8594 What is psychological structure and existential reality.
I cba looking in the dictionary, I would appreciate you telling me.
Thank God for loving you so much.

It's amazing how we take our bodies for granted like we are simply a package of blood and bones, while in reality we are 10.000 times far more complex than that.
Also crazy to think that its not just humans with this crazy complexity but every other animal on this planet
All glory to God
We shouldn't care.
What ever you do. Don't change. Don't stop.
Now i feel bad for coughing out the mucus.
Why?
@@whatdadamnz thats the purpose of having mucus, to trap that kind of thing from entering your body. According to my doctor, you can swallow it down to stomach so stomach acid can kill them, but its always better to eject it out

Part of it is your body's immune reaction to the bacteria, it makes you feel sick
Videos like this help dispel the myths surrounding common illnesses that many *anti-establishment* folks like to spread (because of insecurities or just gullibility). My dad swears a cold or strep is caused by cold air, the actual temperature of the air (he's very conservative, only high school educated, and has never taken biology or virology nor has he ever used a microscope in HS). When we went to the doctor, a swab was taken and incubated and a few hours later we were informed it was strep. The doctor explained that it was a bacteria that was living in his throat and feeding on nutrients from his nasal and oral cavity causing his secretions to smell and his throat to be painful. He still was not convinced. When we got home, I found this video and showed him what strep looks like under the microscope. He could not believe his eyes! He said he couldn't see the bacteria so he never thought to frequently wash his hands or wear a mask when presenting symptoms so he rationalized that the cold air, wind, and rain caused it. Now he wants to buy a microscope and look at the invisible world he never realized existed. Thank you for this video! 🙏
that's actually incredible. props to your dad for having such a flexible mind!
I'm a nhrsing student, and last week my teachers managed to borrow a black light camera so we could see how dirty our hands were. The difference between washed hands and non washed was appaling. I bet your father would love to see that
@Max Powers Hahaha. I said something similar to him but that's the generation he grew up in -- it's hard to get people to see a new perspective as technology changes and becomes more readily available to everyday folks. Digital tech and Bluetooth is like magic to people born in the 40s and 50s, so you can imagine that they'd have a difficult time believing that viruses and bacteria are all around us and not something made up by doctors or scientists to scare people.
Still, i thought cold air/environment gives the average cold bacteria in your body a better chance of spreading. So even though his info may be old fashioned and incomplete there is some truth to it
My granddad born in the 1800s was forever pulling us kids up from sitting on concrete because he believed that sitting on cement caused piles (hemmorhoids). Confused us kids but we knew to move because it concerned him so much. What a difference to live from 1885 to 1974.

@@JimmyLeeJr Delusional
A possibly cool idea ... have some liquid with lots of bacteria and other living things in it. Separate into multiple samples and for each, mix in Listerine mouthwash, bleach, salt, or anything else, and see what happens!
dknight211 YES.
YES (2)
Yes please 💯
yes please, all Sub for that. thanks .
Also too, put in a dose of antibiotic to see the effect with our own eyes
I remember going to the dental hygienist and she took a swab of my mouth to try to gross me out with the bacteria, I found it fascinating that such a micro ecosystem is living inside my mouth. She told me I was the only person to not be shocked by the microbes. Living things inside of living things is amzing to me.
Omg quirkyyyyy
Wowie, Wacky! And quirky
That's good you're supposed to have a healthy microbiome in your mouth, making kids afraid of bacteria in their mouth just seems like creating hypochondriacs
What if we're all just living things living inside of something much larger?
I'm no scientist, but I know there are nematodes existing in the roots of the eyebrow hairs, munching away to keep the area clean. If they didn't, we'd get infections there. I remember learning from a really interesting PBS program that the aforementioned nematodes continue "eating" for some time after each body dies. I imagine the sounds of very, very tiny forks and knives on the china plates.🍽
Sci- Inspi: Here are white blood cells working against the infection.
Them: Literally chilling in the background
Well there was that one white blood cell that was hungry and full of bacteria. Reminds me of a coworker.
But they were actually fighting those bacteria
@@evanraymond8728 we know now shut up
If you call fighting a war chilling in your dictionary..
@@oitthegroit1297 it's not that hard of a woosh, the comment could have easily been mistaken for not a joke.
Am I the only one saddened that we cough up our little soldiers helping to save us and even outside the body theyre still fighting the enemy.
shd we send the phlegm back😂
Its a war inside our bodys against foreign invaders
I mean, leukocytes exist with only one thing in mind so it makes sense for them to do their job all the time. That's their only purpose, so if they wouldn't fight against threats then why would they even live anymore?
“This jerk is making me sick”
Same I always get those infections so thanks for showing me my enemy under a microscope.
I send your videos to my 12 year old son. He’s always wanted to be a scientist and is highly intelligent when speaking on matter of life and the living.
Thank you so much for what you do. I’ve just stumbled upon your videos and I’m quite intrigued.

White cells are an amazing thing. I’m a lab technologist, and I really appreciate this video.
Strep C was the most severe strep infection I ever had, and I tend to be pretty suseptible to strep. Man, it put me out for a week or so, I even had to go back to get stronger antibiotics. 😂 this video just makes me wanna square-up with strep. Hope you're feeling better!
strep C can cause a sore throat but not scarlet t fever or kidney damage like Group A. and 100 percent killed by penicillins it's possible you had concomitant infections or even mononucleosis at the same time.
As a microbiology student this is AMAZING to see! Thank you

Interesting that something to small is very capable of doing this to body. Even though there are in a huge amount, still insignificant in total size compared to the human body.

But seriously, I was thoroughly fascinated by watching the WBC fight those jerks! Amazing! Thanks for all the work you put in. It’s amazing to see the world magnified a 1000 times.
I used to get throat infections all the time as a kid and well into my teens/ early 20’s. But then I became a moderate drinker, taking a shot of hard liquor every now and then, and they’ve completely stopped lol
I believe mouthwash is mainly made of alcohol
@@stephen6621 Yeah, but that's the boring kind that tastes like shit. Jake is drinking the good stuff, that tastes like shit AND makes you feel like shit
@@stephen6621 mouthwash isn’t going to hit deep in your throat though unless you’re doing shots of it too
@@stephen6621 well it's mouthwash not a throatwash 😆
Thats really interesting. U might have had troublesome tonsils that shouldve been removed and the hard alcohol sanitizes it all out.
Thanks for creating and sharing these images. As someone who used microscopy in my uni studies, I'm impressed by how clear and well-defined your video images are. Cheers!
It had to be streptococcus, one week... your immune system is in great condition... 👏👏👏😆
Great video as always!!!
watching this as i currently have a sore throat, lymph nodes are swollen and all that good stuff. nice to see what happens on our bodies when we’re sick, thank you for this
Love this episode. Very timely and relevant considering what's happening lately.
I also remembered those times I collected the sputum of my parents when they were hospitalised respectively due to some respiratory illness.

You nearly had me falling asleep to a video about throat infections. You, sir, have created a new genre.
I edited this so that the replies don’t make sense
Lol unfortunately viruses are too small to be seen by light microscopes, which are the ones I use.
Light is too big for viruses. Electron microscope would be the way to go.
Good thinking
@@sci-inspi so you don't have any Electron microscope, do you? SEM or TEM?
I don’t have any electron microscopes
I just wanna give a shout out to my white blood cells for always being there for me. I wouldn't be a complete person without you.
2:54 what a beautiful vintage photo of Europe!
Hey body. 1 statement. Don’t stop fighting. You are what keeps me alive. Thanks.
Thank you for these amazing videos. You get to see your immune system in action. Although a time lapse might have been cool but still awesome. Thank uou
Thank you for this video. Amazing work. Every cells of the body is trying to keep us alive. How grateful
When the microscope was invented can you imagine showing random people? Imagine their reaction when they put a bit or themselves on some glass and see it moving around. Lol

Amazing...the complexity of our bodily defense system is incredible. Almost unbelievable.
Strep really sucks so props for making this whole going through it dawg
Gram-positive bacteria (like Streptococcus pyogenes) have glycoprotein lining (where the staining dye sticks and makes it distinct), unlike Gram-negative bacteria, and it is harder for the leukocytes to phagocytose and its lysozymes to penetrate the bacteria.
Get well soon Sci-Inspi
Thank you for this. Very fascinating...
My respect for my body has increased 10 times now...
It’s crazy to me how a microscopic CELL also has to fight to survive .. fight to live . Existential crisis for sure but also makes me want to go back to school because I think I could definitely remember things like this .
Really incredible video. It’s easy to forget your body is a living ecosystem of its own.
I love your channel. it's almost therapeutic and meditative.
The pictures with the Gram Stain are really cool.
this is absolutely amazing. I remember the last time I had a strep throat, I applied something to help eradicate it. A few minutes after I applied it, I could actually feel the inflammation caused by the bacteria moving around my throat, circling around while time passed. This made me realize that there are actual living creatures in my throat and that my body is fighting hard to make me healthy, and that what I applied actually worked because it did numb the area it was applied on 😅
just wait till T-cells hears about the new trouble maker on the block.
As an mls student, this is really interesting and helpful
It's almost all red blood cells!
This is SUCH an amazing video
So cool! Thank you for sharing. I've always wanted a microscope and I swear if I owned one, I'd look at everything under it. Viewing things in a microscope was my favorite part of my biology classes
I'm recovering from acute bronchitis. Some tips for recovering. Change diet ASAP. Cut out sugar and chocolate and dairy products. Eating fruit helps a fair bit. Salt is fine, it helps break down mucus. Pepper too. Garlic is good for your health. Beyond that it's drinking a lot of water to try and flush out the mucus. Going out in the day for a bit to get some air can help too (but stay in and stay warm to recover).
I kept getting up to cough up in the toilet. In the end I had toilet roll next to the bed. Tear off some tissue and cough up on that. Leave at the side. This way I could check the color as well. Mostly clear, some yellow. A bit of brown very rarely (twice in about two weeks. Only two "strings" of it) and one tiny speck of blood (once). I coughed up the worst of it and started getting better quickly after. Haven't so much as had a cold in a decade so my immune system is pretty good. Actually exposing yourself to some dirt helps to keep it healthy (in other words if you're too clean you can get sick more easily).
The most important factors are staying warm, drinking water and eating/resting enough. How MUCH of what you eat is more important then just what you eat alone. Example: Some butter (the I can't believe it's not butter kind) in mash potato can help more. Add chooped up onion and garlic with gravy and chicken. Salt and pepper too. Overall it will help to fight the infection despite having some butter. Provided the rest of your diet is cutting down on it.
Ok, as 1000th comment, let me use these as reminder to take care even better for my health.
This is so fascinating!! We don’t realise how much our bodies do for us! We should thank it everyday!
Good thing I watched cells at work so that we can see what Japan portrayed these microbes compared to irl microbes
