That toddler is disappointing to me. There's no way that he found a cigarette by himself and figured out how to light it. Let alone figure out how it's even supposed to work. An adult showed him all of that. Also, he can only get as much food as the parents give him. Stop giving him so much food.
he probably took one that was already lit
@@Operngeist1 yeah but how would have he known to puff on it?
I thought so too. I started smoking very young (at 10, Imma 70s kid), but I didnt have a single thought of ciggies at two. There is just no way a baby is even coordinated enough to light a smoke! His parents are doing this, probably for money. And let’s assume he did start on his own, how hard it would be to make him quit? Not hard. Now he’s eating too much, because the parents wont parent. Im mad!
I’m pretty sure that kid was on another TLC show before, where doctors were trying to convince the parents that smoking was bad because the family just thought a smoking kid was funny. They didn’t try to get him to stop before the show because they could get him to stop throwing tantrums with a cigarette or something
@@loganmacgyver2625 monkey see monkey do ig,
oh no my toddler is smoking. what can we do?
now hes eating too much. what can we do?
worst parents ever...
The parents are the enablers here. Children and babies don't have the ability to buy cigarettes and food.
@@privacyvalued4134
maybe the boy invested in crypto at 12 months old to enjoy the lifestyle he lead 1,5 times as old as that
They act like they don’t put the food on his plate or the cigarettes in his hands.
It’s like parents leaving bleach in front of him and saying it’s not their fault that the baby drank it.
Yeah unfortunately those cases are more common here in Indonesia than other countries (that I know of). I remember when the news were constantly reporting on multiple cases of toddlers/children smoking cigs. Some cases were caused by peer pressure and bullying from their friends who encourage them to smoke at age 3-10, some parents are neglectful. It's definitely a problem.
They may not force it down the throat but they sure led the horse to the water.
I just want to say good on the boy for taking a potentially horrible birth abnormality and becoming amazing at his passion in spite of it. Well done my guy!
as my wife )who was born without legs_ always says "who cares what life says can and cant do, its what we say to ourselves that matters"

He has real life chibi feet. And it looks surprisingly normal for what I would have thought that condition would be.
Good on him for taking it all in stride

“There was no ventilation and she slipped into a coma”
I felt really bad chuckling at how ludicrous it all was. The poor woman is obviously suffering through something but bagging her head is not going to be the solution. She probably needs to talk to a mental health professional, honestly.
it was a towel not a bag, but I don't know why they didn't try an n95 mask which would block more allergens and let you breathe.
@@Zach476 For real, I still use it sometimes in buildings that have AC turned on too high and circles around dust.
Also just to note on the case itself - She was digging up potatos. She could have had anything from ticks to bug bites to even the potatoes themselves which are part of the family of Nightshades. Did they really not check out the garden for any of this at all?
bruh like why they got her like a hostage!!!
@@Zach476 Towel, cloth bag, they're all more or less the same with minimal breathability.
Absolutely agree on the N95. Maybe they feared for her skin?
Parenting means not enabling your kids' destructive behavior. If your toddler steals cigarettes, make sure they're not in reach next time. If your child eats too much, feed them less. Don't just wring your hands and do nothing.
It's easy to say that when you're not living it. This is a kid who had a very serious issue. If you look into it, his mother had tried for a long time to get him to quit smoking but it lead to tantrums, others in village feeding his habit cuz they thought it was cute/funny, banging his head, st@bbing himself, jumping off a high ledge and nearly dying... That last one was when his mom gave up and just let him have cigarettes, because it meant he lived and didn't pull dangerous stunts to get them.
In the village they lived in, smoking was everywhere. Everyone in the village smoked basically so he saw it and was around it all the time.
@@moonlitxangel5771you dont come out the womb addicted to smoking and eating
@@moonlitxangel5771 You've spoken about a reaction to the toddler smoking when that really is secondary and almost irrelevant. The primary problem is how the toddler started in the first place. That is inadequate parenting. No toddler would even know what a cigarette is, what its use is, how to navigate lighting it on fire (and how to navigate a lighter itself). It's pretty clear that the toddler was given a lit cigarette at some stage. Now, we could give the parents the benefit of the doubt and say that it was someone else in the village... Though even then, that's pretty inadequate parenting. Why would a toddler be off on its own? It should be supervised.
Reacting to the smoking comes after failing as a parent.
@@moonlitxangel5771 None of what you said makes the problem any less of a bad parenting problem. In fact, you only add to the reasons of why they're bad parents. To do what that kid was doing to get cigarettes you would have already had to have smoked a bunch of them to get THAT addicted to them. It didn't happen after the 1st, 5th, or even 10th one. The parents had PLENTY of opportunity to prevent an addiction and yet they enabled it. Dealing with tantrums is also something parents have to do and there's better ways than letting your kid get a deadly addiction. There's no defense to be made for them. Every angle and context you look at it from all comes back around to shitty parenting, period. It's a miracle the kid lived past toddlerhood.
@@ElusiveTy If what they're saying is true, then a toddler would know what smoking is. They wouldn't need to know what a cigarette is to smoke it. They see people doing it, and eventually, they'll mimic it because children are curious creatures. It's not inadequate parenting to allow your child to go outside. You sound like you're making excuses to validate your point about them being terrible parents. They're surrounded by people they know and who know them. It's easy to judge when you don't know the circumstances despite easily searching the article online.
1:51 Ok, no matter how dangerous Cobras are, sealing one in such a tiny box is just torture.
Fr
I mean, kinda, but snakes like hiding in holes. Assuming he's not hungry, he was probably just chillin'.
I hated that too
@@kindlinthe general rule for snakes of any species is an enclosure at least the length of their body. The typical cobra will need a 6-8ft enclosure at least 2ft high depending on species. Also, the last thing you want is a small enclosure where the snake can lunge out immediately upon opening or one where you can't see the snake and know where it is before opening it.
Defanged snakes will die from starvation if a secondary infection doesn't get them first, also venomous snakes will "dry bite" meaning they will bite but no venom will be injected, however I highly doubt that's the case, they're more than likely defanged
Why would you defang sankes?
@@katten980so that when they bite you, they can’t inject venom.
@@katten980 defanging was pretty normal to use snakes in movies. Some would even sticth the mouths.

Brian Barczyk recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. A huge loss to his family & the reptile community. As a reptile keeper myself, thank you for explaining that snakes aren’t aggressive, they’re defensive. They want nothing to do with us.
Oh no! I'm a reptile keeper too and my grandad died of pancreatic cancer. Truly an awful thing and terrible news.
I was going to comment the same thing.
I followed his videos for so many years after is death I couldn't bring myself to watch anymore, and then suddenly seeing him in this video, it was a stab.
Came here to comment props on using some of Brian’s content and knowledge. Also, grumpy about venomous snakes
Brian abused animals, he’s not someone who should be held up as a good example of a reptile keeper. He kept his animals in tiny enclosures, often plastic tubs with little to no enrichment. He advocated for the breeding of a gene that is linked to neurological issues in ball pythons, something that I disagree with as someone who is neurologically disabled myself. He often gave bad advice to his audience and used shock content for views. Just because someone is dead doesn’t mean that they are suddenly immune to criticism.
I'm really glad that the kid without feet was accepted by his community, and even became a soccer prodigy. ❤
Lol “prodigy” yikes… meaning he is the best in his field and was born to be the greatest… im sorry let’s be real here he isn’t going to the pros… he isn’t a prodigy at soccer he’s a prodigy of never giving up even if your deformed
@@thekillerreborn2228 "prodigy /prŏd′ə-jē/
noun
A person with exceptional talents or powers.
"a math prodigy."
An act or event so extraordinary or rare as to inspire wonder.
A portentous sign or event; an omen."
Nothing to do with being the best in his field or born to be the greatest.
@@thekillerreborn2228 If we're being honest, You're not being _"real"_ you're being a jerk... There are a million ways you could have said that without being so rude and abrasive.
100%. I'm no doctor but it does look like he has mostly formed ankles and if his calcaneus is intact he can probably trust his 'feet' to work well for a lifetime. Hopefully a lifetime of joy love and accomplishment.
@@thekillerreborn2228why are u so rude for no reason? Talk about being pessimistic.
Doctor Mike judging Dr. House for knowing the most random things.
Also doctor Mike about cobras:
😂😂😂
It's not really particularly in-depth or obscure knowledge... deffo falls into the 'general trivia' level of knowledge.
Honestly I know Dr Mike hadn’t because will he be supposedly but what will gone after these days?
Oh yeah! In one of his reaction videos Dr Mike questioned how House knew so much about snakes haha
I searched for the case of chemical sensitivity (her accent was familiar and i got curious) and she confirmed it was bc of an anaphylactic shock to the pesticides of the potatoes. The pesticides were then retired from the market at least here in Spain
She also has fibromialgia, Chronic fatigue syndrome and was diagnosed with cancer de mama
In other interviews they explain what the husband does before coming into the house (showers and cleaning with non chemicals also wear new organic cotton clothing) also that she had the opportunity to return to her childhood town with a mask made of ceramic from Germany...
Thank you for this info, that all makes much more sense now.
Woww thanks for the context!! I’m glad she was able to get her natural plastic free mask :,)
So it wasn't chemical sensitivity in the end but more of an extreme allergy?
Ee I have fibro so this rly spooks me ...
Cancer de mama translates as "beast cancer" in English, just so you know.
I like how dr mike talks to us like we understand any of these medical terms
Some of us do
Youre right
I understand it perfectly
Ikr
@@Robyamdamsame here, but hays cause I find this stuff interesting and like to read up on a stuff like this.
It seems like a lot of people who were formerly diagnosed with MCS (“multiple chemical sensitivities”) are now being diagnosed with MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome). I’d love to see Dr. Mike make a full video on this.
Sounds like a classic case of post/cum hoc ergo propter hoc (i.e. things happen after each other / together, therefore they're assumed to be causal even if they're not). "I touched X and had a symptom!" "I breathed Y and had a symptom!" "My husband thought about Z and I hugged him, then had a symptom!" "Well, clearly, I'm sensitive to X, Y, and Z and must avoid them!"
@@KBRoller You must be a lawyer because you seem to like using Latin. Correlation doesn't mean causation is the more layman's term. But yea, some people can't seem to understand that "I don't know" is a valid answer, and rather give an answer that makes little sense but calms the patient in knowing they have something rather than not knowing. And others just love to use those people to sell stuff like essential oils, all natural things, etc.
@@KBRoller While that could be the case for some, I’m talking about clinically diagnosed MCAS. That diagnosis is usually only given after a person displays symptoms of ongoing mast cell activation (up to and including anaphylaxis), without another root cause, where mast cell mediators show up in bloodwork. This phenomena seems to be closely bound with disorders like myalgic encephalitis and “long covid”. The connection between myalgic encephalitis (formerly CFS) and “multiple chemical sensitivity” has been noted in the past, so I think it’s interesting that we are now seeing a connection between chronic mast cell activation and ME/long covid.
I’m curious to know how many people diagnosed with “multiple chemical sensitivity” were dismissed on the basis of it being a purely psychological phenomena, only to later be diagnosed with something that falls under the MCAS umbrella.
@@MaxxJagX Not a lawyer, that's just the established name for that type of fallacy. "Correlation doesn't imply causation" is a more umbrella term; those two names are for when the causation is assumed from things happening in sequence or together, respectively. They're just more specific terms.
@@capriciousstudent I don't think we're disagreeing here. What I meant is it seems like "multiple chemical sensitivity" is a catch-all term for an assumed sensitivity to external factors, just because the symptoms happen around the time of exposure, when it's really an underlying autoimmune cause unrelated to the exposure to the many chemicals.
I'm really happy you mentioned John Green, he's one of my heroes! I think it would be cool to have him on the channel if both of you are interested
Yeah talking about TB or OCD could be a couple really incredible colabs

John announced he’s got a TB book coming out next year, so that would be a really cool video for them to do together!

There are individuals who have developed resistance to snake venom, but they did so very carefully over many years and gradual dosing, not by being bit at random.
My first thought was that it had been defanged. Kept watching - that’s what the doctor in the video said as well.
Apparently snake bites are one of the few venoms/toxins in animals we can build tolerance against.
Unfortunately that doesn’t apply to spiders as far as I know, but I don’t think I’ve ever searched the reason why that is.
I've never ever heard of anyone generating an antibody to the thing that straight up just opens your blood vessels to carry venom. That sounds like a poorly thought of parks and recreations skit
@@dynogamergurl Spider bites are local making antivenoms useless. It is exceptionally rare for someone to die of a spider bite and if they do it's usually an infection that gets them or they are older with other pre existing conditions and their body simply can't take the added stress. In other words there's just no reason to have antivenom for spider bites even if they were effective.
@@ChesterManfred That is actually how they make a lot of antivenom. They inject the venom of snakes into horses etc to create the antibodies.
There are a few snake handlers who also regularly inject themselves with small amounts of their strongest types of snake venom regularly so if they get bit they don't die before being treated.
2:36 - "Nope, nope nope nope nope nope" - That small dog that ran away
You should do a video with the Vlogbrothers! With their work to reduce infant mortality in Sierra Leone, Hank's science knowledge and his recent dealing with cancer, and John's fight for better TB treatment, you'd have plenty to talk about! DFTBA!!!

I cannot even imagine how painful it must be for her to get those crystals in her eyes… I hope she gets better. 9:27
From the way the doctor was able to bend the crystal it looked pretty soft, which is good because if it was hard I'd worry about the crystals scratching her eyes
@@amethyst_cat9532 100% yes my thought also.
@@amethyst_cat9532 She probably would have had permanent eye damage and potentially even blindness if they were hard. Not to mention she would absolutely not be calm if they were coming out hard. I imagine it's the equivalent of kidney stones but for the eyes.
@@amethyst_cat9532 they looked bendable like fingernails. Which seems correct if it's ceratine.
I saw a clip of Brian Barczyk milking a cobra in there. RIP Brian. He passed away from cancer earlier this year.
Came to say the same thing. 😢
Awwh I got sad again when I saw him, RIP my dude.
I caught that too! Shout out to the Reptarium!
I was excited to see a clip of Brian. Good to see he is being remembered ❤
I loved watching his videos. He was so happy to work with reptiles and made learning about them so interesting. I was so sad to see that he passed away so young. RIP Brian
In regards to the snake bite girl, I heard of a guy who built up an immunity to iocaine powder. It's odorless, colorless, and dissolves completely in liquids.
As you wish
right, and Killua Zoldyck is immune to electrocution because he was shocked so many times before, that's definitely how it works irl
Inconceivable
the thing is that due to how many of those neuro poisons work, an antibody wouldnt do much.
I am not an expert on the topic but based on my understanding of how those tend to work, is that the snakes poison chemically reacts with the electronic nerv passways, either forcing them to consantly send signals or stop sending signals, depending on the type.
So, an antibody wouldnt really do much, since that is just a signal to destroy a foerign object inside the body. And individual chemicals and molekules are too small for something like this to do anything.
Anti venoms tend to work by incecting something into the body, that has a higher binding power to the specific chemical of the venom and as such free the neurological pathways.
Again not an expert but there is a reason why despite the myths of people developing antibodies to venom and poison those things dont have medical proof. What does sometimes happen is that some people have a unique molekular structure that sometimes makes it harder for specific chemicals to bind themselves to. Making them sort of immune to the poisoneus and venomes effects. But that is super rare and only exists in few cases, many of which are questionable in their validity
@@jayhill2193You just fell victim to one of the classic blunders--you missed the quote. It's from the Princess Bride. :D. (Classic blunders is also a quote).
I'm so glad mast cell activation syndrome was mentioned. Looking into it, it is probably what I've been dealing with for the past 10 years and my allergologist dismissed me with "you're allergic to yourself" after getting reactions after being stressed out, exercising, or being out in cold weather. Wouldn't even be surprised if doctors in my country don't even know anything about it, since I'm unable to find anything in my language.
Seems like it. It is unusual that mast cells activate from cold or physical stimuli. But it can happen and could be the case here. And stress causes a lot of chemical reactions in the body, so it has influence on the immune system
Try looking into low dose naltrexone from a compounding pharmacy. It seems to work for a lot of people.
I have the same triggers and I've been diagnosed with MCAS! I also react when I laugh too hard. I've had anaphylactic reactions from laughing 🫠 I hope you can get some answers and find treatment options that work for you.
I wonder if that's what happens to me during incidents where I have a swollen, painful palate reaction to some random food that never bothered me before or after.
Ref to the cobra, venomous snakes can also give "dry bites" where no venom is released. They don't want to waste what the venom for defence, they want to only use it on prey. Their venom isn't a near ending supply like alot of people think. Best thing to do is avoid the snake and not provoke it. It just wants to be less alone😊
As far as I know snakes bite only when you step on them as they are resting during that and it makes them to release venom as most of the time people who catch snakes catch with tail first then head I'm not a expert but I think snakes don't like whe you step on them or distrub their sleep or sometimes females bite and inject venom to protect eggs
You said the thing!!! Mast cell activation!! I'm being treated for that, tons of people refuse to think mast cell issues are a thing, that was very exciting and validating to hear another doctor besides my diagnosing doctor mention it. :)
What are you taking if you don't mind me asking?
I’m 16 and I really wanna be a nurse, you have taught me a lot of things and I’ll always be grateful to you, love you so much ❤
Go for your dream. ❤ I am forever grateful for all my nurses. Couldn’t have gone through all my surgeries and health issues including cancer without the lovely nurses to help me. 😊
I was so happy to hear a mention of John Green as a long standing member of Nerdfigheteria. I love how his work has transcended the TH-cam sphere into actually pushing research, development and accessibility in such an important medical advancement. A big threat for immune suppressed individuals (such as myself) is that pesky treatment resistant tuberculosis. Truly beatiful work.

Potatoes are a cousin to nightshade (it's why you don't eat green potatoes). I'm wondering if she became overly sensitive to the nightshade toxin and that has weakened her immune system.
There was a comment above that someone posted. They stated there was an article about her and she stated she had a severe anaphylactic reaction to the pesticides that were used on the potatoes in Spain, and that unfortunately caused her chemical sensitivity. I didn’t know potatoes were cousins to the nightshade plant. I always knew about not eating green potatoes of the toxicity of it.

Totally.
Always so happy to hear MCAS mentioned! I have it and it's such a discouraging chronic thing to struggle with. Thankfully mine only flares occasionally but I can't imagine it being how it used to be for me
Usually ppl with MCS have comorbidities like MCAS, POTS, Autonomic Failure, CFSME, Lupus, MS, Fibromyalgia, Paralysis, or they have suffered a viral infection (like Covid) or serious injury that has activated their Sympathetic, Autonomic Nervous Systems as well as their autoimmune system.
MCS could also very well be triggered by psychiatric conditions, trauma, or shock. Once the system is activated, it's difficult to turn down the volume.
Medication to calm the nervous system (if they can tolerate taking a medication), antihistamines, combined with very slow exposure therapy can help one re-introduce foods and environmental triggers again. Until their body can tolerate foods, fragrance, fabrics, cleaning products, etc, the person basically has to live in a bubble as not to constantly reactivate and worsen the condition.
It's Neuro-Immune, Dr. Mike. Both systems are effected, like in MS and CFSME.
The potato incident was her initial trigger, but MCS causes sensory overload to many things. MCS behaves like a combination of MCAS and CFSME together. The most common triggers are fragrances (from candles, detergents, soaps, shampoos, and perfumes), foods, plastics, materials like microfibers or latex, pest control sprays, and all household cleaning products, to name a few. Many also react to light, sound, and touch. I was surprised to see her in a bright room. Many have an allergic reaction to sunlight as well. An MCAS reaction means you can swell up, break out in hives/rashes, have seizures, throat closing, neuropathic pain, fatigue "flare" for weeks so you struggle to stay awake. This is a "bubble boy" condition. I've known ppl of all ages who have developed this. A lot of "Long Covid" MCS sufferers.
Your system becomes extremely hypersensitive. It's no way to live, especially when doctors don't have any idea what to do, and getting out to the doctor means you have to brave the world of triggers inevitably going into an episode for an appointment.
I’ve had friends with MCAS- very scary condition to never know when you might be allergic to something. I have/had a similar “turned up the volume” neuro-muscular disorder called AMPS. Amps is treated with exposure therapy though. Hard to do that with deadly allergies.
Thanks for the John Green callout. What he and his supporters were able to pull off was amazing.
My cousin just got diagnosed with mast cell syndrome I’d love to see a video where Dr.Mike explains more about this
02:57 the way he just sat straight I can't 😂😂
12:50 I also am glad you didn't quit. I am relatively new to your channel however I must say you are one of my favorites and as someone who is fairly well versed in medicine (albeit mainly GI medicine, mostly through personal experience unfortunately) I have come to really respect and hold in high regard your medical opinion and advice. Please do not ever stop educating the public as it's extremely rare to find quality information from medical professionals who truly care 💯❤
Something about her being "allergic" to the material of clothes? Or some sort of bacteria carried by clothes strikes me as this is something not properly diagnosed you can't just suddenly become vulnerable to clothing like that by picking potatoes there must be an underlying issue they haven't told us.
Someone in another comment said it was an allergic reaction to the pesticide, which would align with what you're guessing here to some extent
Like doctor Mike said, I’m guessing it’s MCAS, especially bc she’s already diagnosed with fibromyalgia and me/cfs, and mcas often coincides with those
“Someday I’m going to be free and I’m going to escape from this prison”
Dr Mike: Hmmm very interesting
😂😂
react to Muay Thai and knockouts in Muay Thai and potentially even explain “flash knock downs” would be pretty cool for a medical professional to look at the sport as it’s underrated. Most of the time you see boxing and mma but MT needs love too 😭
Thanks for mentioning Mast Cell Activation! I have MCAS and it was hard to get diagnosed because it was “just bad allergies” for so long.
Hey Doctor Mike, I absolutely love your content. I was curious why I feel fine before I go to work, and fine while at work, but as soon I get home and relax, I feel absolutely horrible. Thank you!
The true heroes, as always, are the doctors that cure them 😊 love and support to anyone who’s struggling with their health ❤
I've thought about MCAS like a second before dr. Mike mentioned it, the fact that we think alike made me feel somewhat clever for a slight moment, haha I'm really hoping the last patient will get better! 🍀
Thank you for being an amazing person! I have so many medical issues and this helps me feel better mentally!
Thank you for mentioning mast cell activation syndrome! I have MCAS and it's definitely not talked about enough in the medical field. I'd love to see a video on MCAS and maybe some other illnesses that aren't well known or studied 👀
No toddler gets fat on their own. Family needs to stop overfeeding him.
I swear I did not even notice the little boy without feet!!!! Wow!!!
Dr. Mike I appreciate so much that you brought up mast cell disorders!! They're not talked about nearly enough and are so hard to live with
So happy to see you using a clip from Brian Barczyk! He recently passed away from cancer, but his TH-cam channel encompassed his passion for reptiles. He is from my area, and the impact he had on the reptile community is immense.

Hope u have a blessed day mike !
Thank you.@doctor mike.❤
Thank you for bringing up Mast Cell Activation... It needs more awareness so that doctors are more aware and able to diagnose it. I have MCAS due to EDS - antihistamines help keep my daily syndromes under control, and yet immunologists in Aus are so hesitant to diagnose it
Bro love the vid and the channel keep up the goood work
It's so amazing what John Green and all the people that joined this movement managed to achieve it's giving me faith in humanity and in the Internet
The eye one made my own eyes feel itchy.

Also those hunking eye stones were like plastic in texture?? Wild.
Wooo love the callout to John Green.
The moment you started talking about TB I thought of him lol
The girl taking crystal out of her eyes
Dr Mike -wow! Wow!💀
Hi Doctor. Mike! I am sure you won’t see this but your videos have thought me CPR and how to correctly administer it. I had health class teach me and my teacher was surprised how I knew it.
My sister was diagnosed with MCS but 20 years later we found out she suffered chemical damage to the vocal chores which would then react to other chemicals with swelling etc which is now being managed just fine by doctors
Wow nice to see about conditions and diseases that I've never heard of. Good learning, thanks Dr Mike
6:42 trust me Mike I know TB can be very lethal I once knew a good man named Arthur Morgan he almost fired from it but something else beat it to killing him

Lookin great , Dr. Mike. I sometimes wish I coulda met this version of Dr Mike. Oh well, sometimes bad things happen for good reasons. Stay safe out there. Be blessed, be transformed, because I'm sure there are plenty o people in this world who love you. ❤️
Great video and also, thank you so much for adding footage of the late Brian Barczyk who sadly passed in January from pancreatic cancer
Always the best day when doctor Mike uploads
Gotta love a good doctor Mike video
I have MCAS! There have been several things that I’ve interacted with for years that all of the sudden trigger an allergic reaction. I’m lucky that my reactions tend to be on the more mild end (e.g. no epi pen needed).
I hope you make more of these medical mystery videos. It’s really interesting.
0:51 thats how i draw my craracters shoes-

Love Dr. Mike’s healthy, balanced skepticism. He’s the man.
I'm a few minutes in & already this video is a banger
Docter mike is the best inspiring docters out there and coolest
I am very proud and happy for the first boy in this video. When he was running it makes me think of twisting my answer a bunch of times.
My ferret has a mast cell tumor, it is controlled with Benadryl. Thanks for explaining that some, I didn't understand why the Benadryl worked.
The snake expert that pointed out that the snakes are most likely defanged actually has an animal rescue and they have a youtube channel: Wildlife SOS
Oh wow, great shout-out!!
Yo,Doc Mike looks super good with very subtle beard compared to clean shave or regular beard
In regards to MCS (Multiple chemical sensitivity) there has been some research suggesting it’s caused by a limbic system impairment, similar to PTSD.

@ 4:45 i was just as shocked as dr. mike. ive been bamboozled!
Oh this should interesting to dive into.
The truth is out there and Mike is going to get to the bottom of it.
It is really amazing how these phenomena occur naturally, this makes science more interesting and curious as we still have a lot more to discover and unfold. Enjoyed the vid Doctor Mike. Congrats on 12 million.
Hi Dr. Mike! Hope you’re having a great day! Those poor cobras tho, that can’t be a very pleasant thing for them to go thru. Getting their teeth yanked out
This is sad and amazing at the same time
That kid without the feet had absolutely incredible balance all things considered, no wonder he plays soccer (football) so well.
Aww RIP Brian.....he and Steve Irwin gave me my love of Replies and other Animals
Hey Dr mike, I've been struggling with health anxiety for over a year and when I see the smallest change in my body I go crazy, do you have any tips to overcome it?
Wait, is this really the first time Dr Mike has seen/heard of the "Smoking Baby"? I feel like people like John Oliver have done something at least mentioning him over the past several years lol
