How would you feel if parasites killed someone you loved? Or affected their brain so they could no longer think? What if your child had one that caused dementia type symptoms but didn't die, so the child didn't grow & the brain never developed so they are like a 4 yr old for the rest of their life? How would you feel spiritually then? I ask because I am spiritual as well, & I'd like to know how you handle trauma/grief/loss as a spiritual person. Much Love
@@julielea8344 interesting comment... studying the parasites that killed a loved one would be a long spiritual journey. the need to understand is spiritual. so is finding a cure or a way to help the infected people.
"The trade off is that these lady bugs can heal. They can regrow their internal organs and go on with their lives".....that's not a trade off at all. A trade off would be "Oh hey I have super powers now that the parasite is gone."
No, no, you see, you get the sweet, intrinsically worthwhile experience of having been eat alive from the inside by parasites and live to tell the tale.

Poorly cooked beef, pork, chicken, fish and lamb are just as likely to make you sick. The difference? Insect parasites usually have a hard time in mammals. Mammalian parasites don't give a fuuuuuuuck.
This was super interesting! Makes you wonder what we don't know about the mind. I have heard that our gut bacteria control much of our behavior/urges, especially food choice.
Our microbiome also seems to control our weight. They've done studies where they remove the gut bacteria from an obese rat and a skinny rat and switch them. The obese rat becomes skinny and the skinny rat becomes obese, while they both still eat the same amount of food
Amazing! I came across the thumbnail of the vid and thought to just take a peek but i ended up watching the entire thing instead of just checking it out and studying Diencephalons for my exam next week hahaha. I'm not even into parasites but wow. Just wow.
I have learned to appreciate the hard work behind these photographs today, my days, that's a lot of work and the level of creativity is beyond awesome.
Anand's passion in this is very remarkable. It makes me wonder why I'd wasted my life on nonsense when this guy actually invested his in a research worth millions. I admire the mind blowing knowledge bestowed upon us he genuinely taught us. *Encore*
This is absolutely amazing. I didn't know parasites were this complex. I'm not sure if this made me like parasites more, but it definitely increased my respect for them.
I find it amazing that a creature can evolve in these incredible and improbable ways. They are so specific and specialized that it is hard to understand how they evolve in these specific ways.
It is amazing that a wasp can know, innately, how to do reach into the brain of a cockroach and do microsurgery on it's brain and paralyze it. That seems insane ! There is much more to their intelligence than we can even imagine .Mind blowing !
Very fascinating and creepy! One discrepancy though with the cockroach and wasp - actually the wasp snaps off the antenna opposed to using it to drag the roach. Scientists believe it's to test the amount of poison in the system..
I guess you learn to "like" these things is by knowing how gross, scary, and fascinating they are. After watching this vid and writing this comment, I'm gonna go throw up and watch a kitten video or something. Uggghhh!
just the diversity of biology. if you think about very own reproductive system it can be pretty gross too. a male pent rates a female then injects her with seeds to make a baby grow inside her then 9 months later this thing called a human baby forces it's way out of her pretty much. pretty gross right?
+supercooled Yes, bodily functions are gross, obviously, however, gross, they are fascinating just like in this vid. The parasites are gross, certainly, but, as part of an ecosystem and nature, they are fascinating.
This is such an incredibly fascinating and entertaining presentation. I had actually seen most of the Nat Geo stories about these scary yet extraordinary parasites and of course marvelled at the stunning imagery so to hear the story and dedication behind them is amazing.
I like that Dubstep track played for the picture frame video of the worms exiting the crickets... Great presentation in this entire video in general too.
Yo I remember like 6 or 8 years ago that I went the dentist and saw that exact magazine! It caught my eye immediately and I was both mortified by nature and so intrigued learning about these parasites and natural phenomenons! Well done! Love the humor, info, the story, and progress!
Yes! Just what brain structures or other brain elements does the stinger seek? How could this ability evolve entirely by trial and error? And this was only one of several known examples of parasitic manipulation-of-host behavior!
"... and the egg hatches and it grows inside the ladybug and the larval wasp inside actually knows to avoid the vital organs of that ladybug because if it chews on those vital organs it will kill the ladybug and it will die too..." BUT how do the larval wasp know to avoid the vital organs ??! Who taught them ?!
The stop-motion video he put together at the end is so dope. I know he said that was the "edited and shortened" version of it, but any chance he can actually post the full version? :D

Cool talk but he definitely failed in his goal of making me like parasites more. Now I think they're even more horrible.
I don't think anyone has ever liked parasites anyway
it just made me fear the outside world. I had only known about leeches and that one wasp from the movie wild wild west (newest version).
So I'm guessing the new universe you made doesn't include parasites...
homunyan yep
I don't think his goal was to make you like parasites, but to make you understand the beauty of their complexity, instead of just being grossed out.
A parasite has been injected a parasite....How ironic
Whiterun Guard Poetic justice at its finest
Now all we need is for another parasite to inject that parasite that has injected the other parasite.
PARASITECEPTION
Oh how the tables have turned

It is called "parasitinception".
