“b. cereus” is a bacteria that forms in the danger zone (41-135) degrees Fahrenheit on particularly starchy foods, like pasta. It happens when they are not stored properly or just in that degree zone! It can cause you to be very sick (nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances) and literally kill you. This bacteria literally decays your liver to the point of failure and immediate need for a transplant! It also affects some cord in the back of your neck that then messes with your unconscious bodily functions, like your brain working, your respiratory system, and your digestive system! This one guy’s skin and sclera yellowed because of it! Cool.
Did you know that you can die from water intoxication? Basically, our bodies expel (or try to) water, right? Our kidneys, like, process this water as we drink it. However, if we drink so much water that our kidneys don’t have enough time to process it, our kidneys swell and expel it into our bloodstream! This then dilutes our blood and takes down the Sodium levels, and without this salt, we can get a brain condition calls ODS, which basically causes seizures and other really not cool brain stuff. Then, our brain swells and so our brain cells swell, and then that means the organic layer covering and protecting those cells and so we can die! But thankfully it’s very hard to do on accident unless you are dehydrated. This water intoxication happens if you drink, like, five liters of water in a few hours. Very difficult.
Also! Potatoes are in the same family as nightshade! Nightshade! Aconite, wolfsbane, whatever! So are petunias, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, tobacco, and something else. Anyway, that means when potatoes rot they produce Solanine which basically interacts very badly with a lot of animals, including humans. This can be seen if a potato is green. It literally kills people! So anyway, this thing can get into the air and just reproduce in stagnant air! People can die from this poisoning and it also blocks out oxygen. It can cause nausea, and gastrointestinal distress, and it can literally take your breath away! Forever. It blocks oxygen. It can also cause CNS Depression. Basically central nervous system depression which is very bad.
Also, glitter is harmful. If it gets in your eye it can tear your cornea and blind you, so much you have to get your eye removed! Also, in an unfortunate case, a seven-year-old breathed in some glitter and since it got in his lungs it hurt him a lot. Since this glitter was made of zinc and copper, it basically disabled his lungs from producing the proper carbon and filtering the oxygen so he could not breathe. He passed away after two weeks. 🙁
Don’t eat rotten meat! Or dropped food, for that matter. It can be fine, but the more moisture a food item has, the more quickly it picks up bacteria! Also, did you know carpet is actually the safest surface to drop food on? The item doesn’t touch all of the carpet due to the fluffiness, so, less contact and less germs. Which is rad! Okay.
Okay but, this one time a woman popped a pimple and she got NSTI in it! That’s a disease that actually destroys the fascia of the skin, which is almost half of the skin layers! It’s sad because it’s usually misdiagnosed until it begins to destroy the skin. It can cause very high fevers, nausea, gastrointestinal distress, dizzyness, and all that jazz. It’s really lame.
Also! Did you know there are two kinds of narcolepsy? Narcolepsy with cataplexy and narcolepsy without cataplexy. Cataplexy is basically losing control of your body so it either does whatever or stops doing anything, so, paralysis. It is associated with really strong emotions. This is why I asked if Ben from Swindle had either!
I had to condense that a lot. Yeah, I really like this body stuff for some reason. I don’t even know why. I watched one video and now I’m obsessed!
