Your discussion about diagnosis of terminal illness and the brain really stood out to me. Years ago my grandfather was in hospice and was nearing passing, right around my birthday. While realistically it's crazy to believe he was intentionally holding on, he didn't pass until around 1 or 2 am just hours after my birthday had passed as if he wanted to make sure he didn't pass away on my birthday.

A similar thing happened when my boyfriend's grandpa was about to pass. His daughter's birthday (so my boyfriend's mom's birthday) was on the 18th of December and I was really scared that her dad would pass on the same day, which would make all of her future birthdays insanely sad. Thankfully he managed to hold on and passed on the 20th of December. I mean, having a death anniversary shortly before Christmas isn't pleasant either but surely way better than dying on a family member's birthday.

HI IM A FISH SCIENTIST AND BIG FAN most fish (sharks too!) are not really equipped or interested in attacking humans at all so i’m super glad this was part of Alyssa’s education! other toxic fish that are edible include some blowfish species and lion fish among hundreds, and they can be prepared for eating as well! it has to do with the type of toxins the fish have and how it’s delivered to the predators. poisonous animals do damage by being ingested, most often in entirety, so the poison bits are included too and wreak havoc. things like poisonous mushrooms, death cap for example, contain cytotoxins which are so stable independently that no form of processing or preparation can eliminate their toxins. If you’re fascinated by the reproductive habits of these fish there are truly a limitless amount of bizarre fish fucking situations going on in the ocean and sharks are way up there. Males have two reproductive organs (claspers) because when mating they must BITE a female to anchor themselves to her, and depending on which side of the body he hangs onto one of his two claspers will have more access. Females also have two uteruses, which can have eggs fertilized independently and at different times. Sharks can also “hold onto” male sperm and self-inseminate when conditions improve. ALSO, if they have a baby shark growing but conditions become poor or they can’t find food, they can self-terminate! This is truly not even the tip of the ice berg but it was so fun to hear the beginning about fish and how bizarre they are!

High fevers essentially cause cells to denture, aka overheat and die. Low fevers are okay for ACUTE infections. I like to think of it in a chemistry perspective. If you heat a pot of water, heat causes particles to move faster, lower temperatures slow molecules down (you can test this by take a cup of hot water and a cold cup of water and put one drop of food coloring and the hot water will spread the dye faster). So if your body temp is raise, heat aids in the cellular components that make up immune system to "work" faster and harder. HOWEVER! Prolonged fevers or illness means that the body is in a chronic inflammatory state. This is bad because basically our own immune system response, in chronically ill stage, causes fibrosis which is irreversibly damage to our cellular tissue. Interestingly, in almost all disease processes, it's not the virus or bacteria itself that is causes the damage, it is the BODY'S RESPONSE to the invador that causes damage. Immunology is so interesting to learn about! (I've almost graduated from PA school and have my bachelors in science for reference)

An interesting fact I learned in my intro microbio class: there's some evidence to show that the human immune system evolved around symbiotic relationships with certain parasites called helminths (basically worms) that colonize the human host. Helminths appear to have anti-inflammatory properties, possibly because it makes the human body more favourable for them to live in. Regions with higher levels of helminth infections tend to have fewer autoimmune diseases. That means, without a helminth infection people's immune systems may be more active causing more inflammation and autoimmunity. Scientists and doctors are still researching this topic but there is promise for treatment options. Obviously the idea of deliberately becoming infected with a parasite to help autoimmune disorders is unappealing but researchers are hoping to discover an enzyme that could be used as a pharmaceutical product!

Came here to comment on the alcohol/body temp bit. I was just reading facts about the titanic sinking last night, and the head chef of first class went down with the ship and survived in the water until he was rescued because he allegedly had drank a ton before the ship went down. Remember when rose and jack were going down and the the guy next to her was drinking from a flask? He was based of a true character, the head chef! So maybe he was cold, but his drunkenness made him feel otherwise?

Well, here’s my q-tip experience that nobody asked for! My grandma bought me a big pack of off brand q-tips, never had an issue with them - I just found the stick flimsy. No big deal. Then came the day where the ENTIRE cotton bud came off inside my ear. She was pretty deep. I swear I could hear the inner workings of my brain at that point. After 10 or so seconds of being sure I was about to become deaf or dead, because I’m not at all a dramatic person, I decided to try to reach it with tweezers. I could. Crisis narrowly averted. Don’t cheap out on q-tips. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Just a note from the chronic illness & disabled communities: whilst these scenarios are for sure interesting and uplifting, a few stories are absolutely not enough of a reason to tell people to “think positively” because it cured someone or that “it’s all in your head”. Always work on the assumption that a person whose life is often driven by their health, they are already taking steps with their health care professionals and are already exploring other avenues other than western medicine & whilst you may think you are helping, it can be terribly distressing and I know there are people who would much prefer to know this 🧡🧡 Meditation helps me for example, it helps ease some of my stress related symptoms to chronic pain but it isn’t a cure and often people get confused between the two. Thank you for covering the topic so delicately as per guys 🥰

As a senior health sciences major, I really connected with your discussion on diagnosis of terminal illness. In many of my classes (chronic disease, infectious disease, psych, etc) we have discussed the biological impact of stress on the body. prolonged or extreme stress, which could be caused by diagnosis of a terminal illness, shortens the telomeres (tips) of our DNA. This causes our cells to stop dividing, cells to die, and prevents body tissues from regenerating and therefore affects the function of our immune system! Because of this, there are tons of studies on the impact of support groups for cancer patients/terminally ill patients and their families to help them manage the associated stress and findings show that patients who participate in these groups tend to have better outcomes than those who do not. It's really interesting stuff and I think that you guys should dive deeper into the effects of stress, it could be a really interesting and informational episode!

Yeah don’t kill low grade fevers, usually up until 38 Celsius. The danger zone is your body trying too hard, basically out of control immune response because the virus/bacteria is creating a much stronger reaction from your body. Inflammation for example is a natural response that causes increased blood flow to that area and swelling to block the “bad” blood from the infected area from going all around the body (to limit the spread), but really bad inflammation (e.g large areas of the body) can cause necrosis because blood isn’t flowing to that area at all and it will kill the tissue and it would cause more damage than good

Also fun fact! We have innate and also adaptive ways to fight off disease and sicknesses. So when moms are breastfeeding they are giving their an innate immune system and sharing some of their antibodies they have...but we also have adaptive from getting sick and our bodies dealing with stuff on their own throughout the time so we adapt to the different things. Also, there’s a cytokine storm that makes the body overreact to certain diseases (covid for example) and that’s why it’s safer to sedate and stuff to stop the body from trying to “destroy itself” by getting rid of the disease. Idk I took microbiology this semester and that’s what I got out of it lol

As a nurse. It’s an actual real thing that right before you die (like days right before) you’ll get a surge of energy (we usually will call it the last rally it’s actually called terminal lucidity tho) people will start eating/drinking again, they’ll walk, and be totally mental clear and okay all the sudden. It’s usually a sign that they will actually pass very soon unfortunately many families don’t understand this and think it’s the person getting better

Fever related, When you gen into the danger zone your body can seizure because it’s trying to disconnect your brain to avoid damage. Your body will raise the temperature to try and kill the pathogen, so when you try to lower your temperature with cold showers, you can end up raising it even more since your body is trying to protect you (but could end up causing more damage) Love you guys, hola from Honduras

I’m not 100% sure but I think that yes definitely anxiety would cause you to live less due to the stress, the stress like sam said will take a toll on your body- can cause heart problems (similar to those of high salt consumption) there are studies that say that people who struggle with the most common mental disorders (depression, anxiety schizophrenia etc. ) do live a shorter life- I’m not sure if this is linked to the mental disorder itself leading to suicide or if it actually links to the physical problems caused by the mental one- but anxiety definitely doesn’t do much good for your body ( high cortisol levels are bad for you )

I wet my q tip to get water out of my ear. It's like the water meets the water bubble in my ear and bursts it. I've done this since I was young. I did also stab myself in the ear with a q tip as a child though... so yeah. My hearing has been tested and results came back fine but I struggle to determine which direction sirens are coming from if they're in the direction of that ear. My uncle commited suicide on Halloween the same year my grandma died from cancer. She had already decided not to continue treatment but she seemed stable until then. After my uncle died she was hospitalized with a blood infection from pulling a hang nail. She said then that she wanted a joint Christmas funeral with her son. They were cremated. She lived through Thanks Giving at home and she died 3 days before Christmas. Which was devastating. But yeah. She had decided what she wanted, and she was gone in time for a Christmas funeral.
