As an aquarium owner, thank you for making me aware of tank granulomas! I already wash my hands thoroughly after cleaning my tank, but I'll make sure to take care and make sure my doc knows I have a tank if I get any weird skin stuff. No one tells you these things!
I didn't know that and I had an aquarium for years. But my grandmother had tuberculosis when my mother was a kid, so my mother has taught us extreme hygiene.
Thanks for sharing your love of Aquariums ❤️🐠🐟🐡🦈ʘ‿ʘ 💖. I admire your appreciation & talent & openness to scientific. Information.

Lol I get that, my Hubs was just like that but with movies (BFA & MFA in theatre history). I finally told him that some are just escape movies & we don’t need a running dialogue on character arcs & script holes. 😂

How does Infectious Disease even manage to leave his house with all that knowledge of everything that can kill us out in the world? I'd build a fort and stay put.
@@Ryujishida You notice a stare, then Infectious Diseases hands you a piece of paper and a business card. The paper is a long list of parasites and diseases found in bedclothes, and the card is a 10% off for nearby steam laundry.

@@DGlaucomflecken Absolutely but idk if its the same culture in the US but where im from regular non medical people don't care if ur an eye doctor or a proctologist, they just kinda assume you know everything so its really helpful in day to day life to now general info on a big number of fields
“Did you touch a clam? DID YOU TOUCH A BIVALVE??” The stress of protecting the kids among the swarming pathogens is getting to Infectious Disease, I think. He will need a vacation after this vacation.
Back in school when we were making biology experiments, we had the task to take swabs from various places in the building and created petri dish cultures from that. I chose the coffee vending machine and ohh boy, that thing was more of a disease-ridden cesspool than the toilets and my caugh combined. I never got myself a coffee from a vending machine ever after again.
I would love to see a showdown between Rural Medicine and Infectious Disease and see who knows more about zoonotic diseases. Spoiler alert, the winner is Veterinary Medicine, lol! But it would be cool to see who wins between those two. Jonathan and Texaco Mike judge the competition, of course.
Funny thing...my uncle works for King County Public Health Department as an inspector. Walking around Seattle on a day off with him is hilarious, especially if we go anywhere to eat on his current beat. He knows what to look for and how to look, and while he has learned some perspective in his decades of service, particularly as regards the words "possibility" and "probability", he definitely knows which restaurants he's been in a running battle with over handwashing for years.
As an ID physician, I appreciate the work you put in these videos. They are hilarious and also very informative. My family can attest to most of the points from this clip.
I had to Google some of the things mentioned because where I live (Western Canada), most of our fish is coldwater fish that _allegedly_ doesn't naturally harbour dangerous bacteria for reasons that I can't remember(something to do with the water being too cold and the fish's resulting unique metabolism), and for parasites, all fish is flash frozen on the boat so that risk is neutralized before it ever even makes it to shore. It never even occurred to me all the nasty other things that can come with other types of fish - and a fish market itself is a whole other beast. 😳
As an ID doc I went into the video prepared to be mad at the overblown portrayal of my specialty as a party pooper, but I got distracted by the mention of all those different microbes and now I'm just happy I'm an ID doc.
As the Child of a Clinical Microbiologist and a Pharmacist who worked with the ID team, I can relate. My favorite bed time stories were about the discoveries of penicillin and chicken pox vaccine and by age 10 I knew the meaning of MRSA when I was 10. Showing this to my parents.
I work restaurant jobs. Right now I'm working for a very corporate, organized place that drills employees on food safety but there are plenty of other places that are much less careful. Just went to a gift shop and cafe. Bought some miscellaneous items and ordered an ice cream cone. I gave my items to the cashier and had him ring them up before he got my ice cream. As he did, he was still wearing the same gloves he used to wait on previous customers while he handled my items and the cash register. It took a lot of effort not to say anything.
Big box employee here, our deli recently lost its cash register which is good because they'd use the same gloves to handle your cash then grab a stack of lunch meat out of the case
OMG!!!! I was at the Seattle Fish Market last week 6/25/23 and accepted a sample at the place where they toss the fish. Two days later I got so sick that my body was shaking and I was dizzy on the drive back to California!!! I didn’t go to the Dr because I thought it was the flu.🤢🤮 I don’t think that they would have probably diagnosed me anyway because it wouldn’t have occurred to me that I ate a food sample at the Fish Market 😱😱😱😱 It’s taken over a week but I’m feeling better, not 100%, but better.
No kidding... Some of us don't spend our lives obsessing over every possible germ and swimming in hand-sanitizer. Believe it or not, there are those of us who still have a functioning immune system. I know, it's a shock, but... Has to be close to 30 years since I last had an infection that needed anything more complicated than a smear of neosporin or a week of E-mycin or SMZ/TMP, and I don't exactly hide in a "clean room". Not real practical when you make your living working "up close and personal" with livestock. Exposes you to all sorts of pathogens - that mostly curl up and die when faced with a decent immune system that's regularly challenged. (unlike office-folk, who, or at least, so it seems, somehow manage to catch every bug in the book by doing little or nothing but watching from a third floor window as somebody on the sidewalk below sneezes)
I’ve seen an infectious disease doctor before. I’m quite shocked that ID here wasn’t carrying around phlebotomy equipment so he could run blood tests on everyone in the market.
I love the infectious disease ones. It is my IRL. Lolol. I'm an Infectious disease nurse and my husband is a public health food and restaurant inspector. The list of restaurants that we order from is tiny.

Everyone in the navy is required to spend some time on the ship's mess deck at the start of their enlistment. I watched a girl from land locked Nebraska walk into a room where raw fish was being prepared for lunch. She had an IMMEDIATE anaphylaxis reaction and was evacuated to the corpsman's office. I heard that they punched her with an epi pen, discharged her from mess duty, and sent her back to her regular division. Normal mess duty is typically 60 days. Hers was 5.
@@jwrockets Being in the navy with a fish allergy. Goddamn, that'd be rough. I'm assuming she never saw a ship for her contract then since dietary restrictions and shiplife don't usually mix from my understanding. (God help her if she was a bubblehead.)
as another immune compromised person (although mine is milder) the answer is... "whats your risk tolerance?" because honestly? probably no... on the other hand your house isnt entirely safe either...
I live in Pensacola Florida on the gulf and we have an annual tradition of the local paper warning people about raw oysters shortly followed by a story of people hospitalized with Vibrio vulnificus acquired from eating raw oysters.
Fortunately the Pike Place Market is relatively close to Harborview Hospital Emergency Room and Virginia Masonl, Cabrini, Swedish, AND Providence Hospitals. The Seattle VA, Children's and Group Health are all nearby as well.
As someone who thoroughly enjoyed Parasitology in college, Infectious Disease is probably my favourite person in the Glaumcomflecken Universe. Toxoplasmosis and Cysticercosis are 2 terms I remember the most from my classes, lol.
Now i have a great reason when people can't believe i don't eat seafood ( really just don't like the taste, but this will get them off my back!). Thank you Dr. G ❤
Infectious Disease is like a Pre Med taking the first class that mentions causative agents. My Invertebrate Anatomy class back in 64 was essentially know everything in Craig and Faust's Clinical Parasitology. Several months of not eating anything unless you've cooked it well done or boiled it until you can be sure it's dead. Shudder every time you see a baby play with a dog.
Thank you for being the nudge I needed to make sure my husband makes a doctor visit soon. Nothing like hearing "mycobacterium marinum" after a fishing trip to make me overthink whatever is happening on his hand. 🙃
DO IT. I have a friend who got a cut from raw fish scales. By the time we persuaded him to see a doctor, he had mild blood poisoning and was half way to amputation of the arm. He had some aggressive antibiotics, he was fine, but if he'd left it much longer he wouldn't have been.
@@IHaveAVeryCommonName What kind of medical help did he seek? We set up a dermatologist appointment two weeks ago, but still have to wait three more weeks until the appointment. 😕
At the same time I received a notice from Eater about their newest video about one of the last oyster farms in Georgia trying to survive, thanks infectious bro!
My son had Campelobacter when he was 10. I got a call from the department of health asking if he'd be around farm animals. The best we could come up with was we had eaten at a Chinese buffet ( in PA, we're from NY). Haven't eaten at one since.
It’s probably not from the cooked food but from all the surfaces that he touched. High density of people and little amount of thorough cleaning wii do it.
I am an undergrad working to become an epidemiologist, and am far far away from achieving my goal..... But i can already resonate with this video every time i tell my friends to stop trying to feed the campus squirrels!
Man, I saw a squirrel once with his eyes swollen shut from something. I tried to catch it to give it to a wildlife rescue but even blind squirrels are… squirrely. I got bit by it (I was trying to use a box) and my immediate reaction was “I’M GOING TO DIE FROM RABIES.” The ER assured me that rodents rarely carry rabies (which I think is bullshit because I know rats eat meat), gave me a tetanus shot, a scan for my finger (because in my haste I slammed the door on my hand), and sent me on my way.
The ID videos are always on point! I'm married to ID. He'll quietly rearrange the table if I put the raw meat or watercress near our kids on hot pot nights 😂
I'm a veterinarian. When he said crabs and toxoplasma, i said, no way dude, you're so wrong. 15 minutes of Google and, wow, I don't know if there have been any actual cases of people getting infected. But it does seem to be on the horizon.
I think these trips are great! I was half expecting some other customers staring at you as they walked by. I enjoy imagining the filming of this, similar to the dermatologist at the beach and the like.
This video right here 🙌🏽🙌🏽We cook everything to proper kill all the things temperature in this house. My spouse and his parent are both veterinarians and they seen some things 😷☠️
You need to come down to Houston in the middle of summer and do a video about the dangers of heat stroke, swamp ass, and the dangers from all the refineries in the area...
Thank you for posting this. It’s normalizing. I grew up in this dynamic. I also suffer from PTSD. Seriously. “No kids, we are not eating here. Why? Because I love you.” If only I could get them hooked on your skits they might experience some revelatory moments. Loved this skit though!
I know I said Pike’s Place instead of Pike Place. Please forgive me. I have already confessed my sins to Jonathan

Did he nod in forgiveness?
I like how Infectious Disease went from being the coolest guy at a hospital to the most neurotic person alive in his private life.
It's like that war vet who is as hard as nails and nothing fazes him anymore, but he hides in his basement on the 4th of July.
This seems spot on for every ID doc I've worked with.
Not neurotic! "CAREFUL"!
ID is both 😂
And in doing so has made their childs immune system to the point that touching a clam can give them stomach cramps
“No, kids, we cannot eat here. Why? Because I love you, that's why.”
So wholesome. 🤣

Your videos never fail to make me laugh. As an overwhelmed pediatrician, that means a lot. You're the best! 💜
Infectious Disease always takes the fun out of it...😉Good video, Dr. G 👍
This is my 21st year as a server and we do this too! You can only watch so many food safety videos before you're like.....I'm never eating ever again!
"No, we can't eat here. Why? Because I love you, that's why!" Man, I have said basically this same thing to my kids at truck stops.
As someone diagnosed with neurocysticercosis, I finally understood something you said! Lol
There must be quite the story there!
So which South American country did you eat raw pork in?
Had 2 patients in 1 day that had that diagnosis. Booth ended up in surgery, but with good results.
Guatemala 🤦🏻♂️ and thankfully no surgery but I do get seizures from it
@@3DDY1 Central America, close enough. Good luck on treatment. Hope your deworming goes well. Make sure to get a medical ID bracelet to let people know about seizures.
love when the team take field trips 😂
Infectious Disease doing what he does best - being an overly cautious Debbie Downer who educates me whilst making laugh - is just what I need after the therapy session I just had 😁😁😁
I used to work in a lab with a fish pathologist. I never ate fish again after that.😂
Everyone in the navy is required to spend some time on the ship's mess deck at the start of their enlistment. I watched a girl from land locked Nebraska walk into a room where raw fish was being prepared for lunch. She had an IMMEDIATE anaphylaxis reaction and was evacuated to the corpsman's office. I heard that they punched her with an epi pen, discharged her from mess duty, and sent her back to her regular division. Normal mess duty is typically 60 days. Hers was 5.
@@jwrockets Being in the navy with a fish allergy. Goddamn, that'd be rough. I'm assuming she never saw a ship for her contract then since dietary restrictions and shiplife don't usually mix from my understanding. (God help her if she was a bubblehead.)
@@roetemeteorwhat is a bubble head? Please and thank you.
@@jwrocketsyou never know your allergic till you find out your allergic.

As an immune compromised person, I’m now wondering if I should ever leave my house😂
as another immune compromised person (although mine is milder) the answer is... "whats your risk tolerance?" because honestly? probably no... on the other hand your house isnt entirely safe either...
Saaaaaammme. I love my transplanted kidney so much… but I also love sushi and live concerts. And I ride the NYC subway daily. 😢
Former food safety auditor here. The struggle is real :_)
I live in Pensacola Florida on the gulf and we have an annual tradition of the local paper warning people about raw oysters shortly followed by a story of people hospitalized with Vibrio vulnificus acquired from eating raw oysters.
Fortunately the Pike Place Market is relatively close to Harborview Hospital Emergency Room and Virginia Masonl, Cabrini, Swedish, AND Providence Hospitals. The Seattle VA, Children's and Group Health are all nearby as well.
Haha! Love these. Now do infectious disease drops the kids off at daycare 😅
Love this idea! 🤣🤣🤣
He doesn’t. He knows better
Nope.
As someone who thoroughly enjoyed Parasitology in college, Infectious Disease is probably my favourite person in the Glaumcomflecken Universe. Toxoplasmosis and Cysticercosis are 2 terms I remember the most from my classes, lol.
“The smell of gastrointestinal distress” 😆 Absolutely-with all the folks taking up residence on the sidewalks in that area!
Sounds like the city should provide worthwhile sanitation then
Now i have a great reason when people can't believe i don't eat seafood ( really just don't like the taste, but this will get them off my back!). Thank you Dr. G ❤
Infectious Disease is like a Pre Med taking the first class that mentions causative agents. My Invertebrate Anatomy class back in 64 was essentially know everything in Craig and Faust's Clinical Parasitology. Several months of not eating anything unless you've cooked it well done or boiled it until you can be sure it's dead. Shudder every time you see a baby play with a dog.
Why is it I get the feeling some poor fellow is necrotizing from the inside out. Thanks made my day.
Thank you for being the nudge I needed to make sure my husband makes a doctor visit soon. Nothing like hearing "mycobacterium marinum" after a fishing trip to make me overthink whatever is happening on his hand. 🙃
DO IT. I have a friend who got a cut from raw fish scales. By the time we persuaded him to see a doctor, he had mild blood poisoning and was half way to amputation of the arm.
He had some aggressive antibiotics, he was fine, but if he'd left it much longer he wouldn't have been.
@@IHaveAVeryCommonName What kind of medical help did he seek? We set up a dermatologist appointment two weeks ago, but still have to wait three more weeks until the appointment. 😕
@@IHaveAVeryCommonName And, P.S.- obviously, I'm really glad your friend is okay!!!
Oh the joy of working with an ID specialist. Mine who worked in the ICU never joined us in potlucks 😂.
At the same time I received a notice from Eater about their newest video about one of the last oyster farms in Georgia trying to survive, thanks infectious bro!
Me too, I just watched it 5 minutes ago 😂
Thanks for the info and the chuckles.
It’s Pike Place. Not Pike’s Place. It’s fun to hear Infectious Disease making a mistake. He probably doesn’t have much experience doing that
Just Awesome.....like every time
Love your videos
I like how he is actually a loving father doing cool stuff with his kids.
My son had Campelobacter when he was 10. I got a call from the department of health asking if he'd be around farm animals. The best we could come up with was we had eaten at a Chinese buffet ( in PA, we're from NY). Haven't eaten at one since.
It’s probably not from the cooked food but from all the surfaces that he touched. High density of people and little amount of thorough cleaning wii do it.
This was so good! I'm amazed he's not decked out in a hazmat suite.
I am an undergrad working to become an epidemiologist, and am far far away from achieving my goal..... But i can already resonate with this video every time i tell my friends to stop trying to feed the campus squirrels!
Man, I saw a squirrel once with his eyes swollen shut from something. I tried to catch it to give it to a wildlife rescue but even blind squirrels are… squirrely. I got bit by it (I was trying to use a box) and my immediate reaction was “I’M GOING TO DIE FROM RABIES.” The ER assured me that rodents rarely carry rabies (which I think is bullshit because I know rats eat meat), gave me a tetanus shot, a scan for my finger (because in my haste I slammed the door on my hand), and sent me on my way.
So, how many diseases can a human catch from a squirrel?
I'm glad I visited Pike Place years before your channel started. I still love outdoor markets :)
The ID videos are always on point! I'm married to ID. He'll quietly rearrange the table if I put the raw meat or watercress near our kids on hot pot nights 😂
What does he do when you serve romaine lettuce 😂
Wait what’s up with watercress?
Oh wait I was thinking of water chestnuts. Must be the bacterial things like with other salad greens!
I think it would be great to have ID do an assessment of each department in the hospital.
I'm a veterinarian. When he said crabs and toxoplasma, i said, no way dude, you're so wrong. 15 minutes of Google and, wow, I don't know if there have been any actual cases of people getting infected. But it does seem to be on the horizon.
I love how all the names are spelled correctly in the captions. It makes it so much easier to research things I was previously unaware of! ❤️
Even as a doctor, I was furiously googling diseases and treatments!
And I love the Infectious Disease doctor. Very funny!
I think these trips are great! I was half expecting some other customers staring at you as they walked by. I enjoy imagining the filming of this, similar to the dermatologist at the beach and the like.
These videos are such a good revision for USMLE. There are direct question in Uworld from your content.
If Sheldon Cooper were a doctor instead of a physicist he would be Infectious Diseases :)
I did end up at a food market with meat in a very rural area in Southeast Asia and then I stuck with veggies for the rest of that trip.
This video right here 🙌🏽🙌🏽We cook everything to proper kill all the things temperature in this house. My spouse and his parent are both veterinarians and they seen some things 😷☠️
This is me out for dinner when anyone judges my “overcooked” meat choices. “You haven’t seen the things I’ve seen!”
I carry bleach in my pocket specifically for this occasion. You never know when you’re gonna go to a food market filled with germs
You need to come down to Houston in the middle of summer and do a video about the dangers of heat stroke, swamp ass, and the dangers from all the refineries in the area...
As a Biologist, he is doing God's work
You just can't let the kids get near that statue
Thank you for posting this. It’s normalizing. I grew up in this dynamic. I also suffer from PTSD. Seriously. “No kids, we are not eating here. Why? Because I love you.”
If only I could get them hooked on your skits they might experience some revelatory moments. Loved this skit though!
Should have gone to the chewing gum corridor
Was really surprised he didn't. It's right there!
My sister is a Marine biologist..., she did this at a dinner party where everyone was eating swordfish. 😂 there were a lot of leftovers that evening.
Low key I feel like I've been instructed to either never go outside or never touch anything while outside
Today i was doing infectious disease exam at the faculty, thank for the video !
