    I wish that when people talked about types of skin damage, they'd acknowledge what that looks like for people with darker skin. we don't get red rashes after sunburn. even my darkest bruises are often difficult to spot because of hyper-pigmentation. the stages of healing for cuts looks vastly different because we don't see the same change in colors around the wound sight. not to mention when you look for images to identify clinical signs, 99% of those images are of lighter skin and only marginally helpful to us looking to identify potentially serious medical issues.

      The thing is, most of these tests and medical studies have been done primarily on white people, so doctors and toxicologists genuinely don’t know the differences in darker skin because they’ve never learned about that. When all medical knowledge that these doctors have is based on white people, it can be very dangerous to poc, and even if the doctors have good intentions, sometimes it’s not enough

      @waterunderthebridge7950 년 전 +627

      That’s actually also a rather big problem in general dermatology. On very dark skin types the presentation of several skin diseases is way more difficult to diagnose (and sometimes just way different altogether) as e.g. reddening and/or darkening on light skin has much more contrast than the same on very dark skin. Also e.g. the distribution of skin cancers types most frequently found also shifts based on (biological) ethnicity.

      At lower latitudes the time to burn in the sunlight is much lower. Northern Europeans have to limit their sunlight exposure to no more than thirty minutes a day during the most intense sunlight hours when nearer the equator. The usual precautions of long sleeved shirts, wide brimmed hats, SPF 50 or higher sunscreen, umbrellas and hydration are recommended to prevent risk of heat exhaustion, heat stroke and death.

      I would also like to point out that exposure to Dimethylmercury can be treated. The case of Karen Wetterhahn's death is in part because it was initially left untreated. The major issue is that the effects of the poisoning cannot be reversed.
      I have not worked with it, but as an organic chemist who specialise in Chlorinated and Fluorinated Organophosphates, I do understand how a neurotoxic compound like Methylmercury affects the body.

    I'm glad to hear that felt tip pens don't have enough toxin to harm a person. My youngest sister, for whatever reason, bit and sucked dry Crayola markers. She was pretty little at the time, but it was frustrating when I wanted to color a picture only to find out a marker vampire got to them first. 🧛‍♀🖍😂

      According to my former colleague who is an art therapist, Crayola markers are non-toxic😳 and if I remember correctly other Crayola products (crayons, colored pencils, etc.) are non-toxic as well

    • @pinkcupcake4717

      Crayola (and generally most kids art supply makers) take the fact kids will destroy anything and put it in their mouths, so the products are designed to not harm kids.

    The quickest, albeit not comprehensive explanation on venom and poison I have heard is:
    If it bites you and you die, it was venomous. If you bite it and you die, it was poisonous.
    Though my native language doesn't really make that distinction anyways, we only really have an umbrella term for toxins.

  • @azdaze227
    @azdaze227 년 전 +17

    One thing I really wish she had mentioned, she talked about overdoses and tolerance. A typical opioid overdose, the issue is people with stop breathing, as opiates slow breathing so when you take enough, breathing stops and at that point you aren't awake to breathe consciously usually. But, if someone had a high enough tolerance, say a methadone patient who used heroin on top of it or something, could there be a point where the opiates themselves were toxic to the body? Not in the sense of an overdose, where respiratory depression is the issue, but in the sense of the drugs themselves being a poison to the body. I imagine that would happen at some point, but would it be feasible that a human could have a tolerance that high? There are definitely people out there that regularly consume enough drugs that would kill the average person but I've always wondered if there was an upper limit on how much drugs someone could do regardless of tolerance.

    Thank you for the comment on E. Coli food poisoning. Last month I ate at a McDonald's and 6 hours later the symptoms kicked in, going for 2 days over. Learned my lesson, never eating fast food again, warned the local sanitary defense of my town and my friends.

    • @newcamomile
      @newcamomile 년 전 +1

      It was likely the lettuce actually - commercial pre-washed salad leaves and also bean sprouts are major e. coli vectors. It's caused by the water used for washing being contaminated. Supermarkets have had frequent outbreaks, it's actually pretty uncommon in fast food because fries etc don't tend to carry it.
      However unless you were hospitalized and a local outbreak of e. coli specifically was confirmed, it was probably something else - certainly it's highly unlikely for it to only last two days. My guess would be campylobacter via poultry.

    My first major outbreak of poison ivy as an adult was very bad. I swelled up like a frog (mostly my legs) and needed all kinds of drugs, steroids, NSAIDs, allergy pills, etc. Then a little while later, after it was gone, we went to the deep south on vacation where it's hotter than hades and I broke out in a rash all over my legs and I couldn't figure it out! I thought maybe it was just the heat. Well, I'm sure that didn't help, but it's nice to know there's a known reason for it. That episode was the first and it really triggered my sensitivity to poison ivy bad. I've caught it in the middle of winter before.

    Hemlock is unique in the way that its toxin concentration on leaves, roots, every part of the plant changes over the time span of the entire day and night, so some people might actually chewed the leaves of Hemlock and survived and think that the toxin level of Hemlock is exaggerated. You should make a video about how dangerous Hemlock is.
