So, I'm a weird person who pauses to answer questions if asked. More than likely that kid knew a dude who did tatts on the side. Before becoming an Author, back in the 90's I used to do tattoos for gangbangers, and that was with a needle & thread just poking away. So, it's possible he could be a walking billboard getting them for half or free to bring others in to pay full price. Allright back to the video.
So, just as I assumed, it’s actually a parasite, I thought as much once they showed a literal worm under a microscope, instead of a virus. Oh and the black spaghetti sprouting from peoples faces was also a dead giveaway.
what if a viral infection mutated adn used the wormy things to get into a human body then use both the worm and viral infection to convert humans to bigger thing ? #roanokegaming

The parasites in this movie kinda resemble horsehair worms. They infect insects and drive them to jump into water. Once in water, they slither out. Freaky stuff.
2016, there was an outbreak of monster clowns. The infection originated from South Africa l before being transmitted via UA-cam. From there it incubated on Twitter and Facebook. The infection showed symptoms on October 31. After 24 hours the infection was over.
Yeah, whenever I see a worm, and it’s in a person? My first thought is that it’s some kind of parasite, as single celled organisms aren’t usually capable of morphing into multi-cellular ones, as far as I know. I really like the science parts of your videos though, Roanoke! They’re very fun to listen to.
@@infernaldaedra Yes but no, while it is true that all multicellular organisms begin as a single cell. They cannot support themselves in that status, and require nutrients to split into more and more cells. A singular cell organism only divides when it has reached a certain mass and then produces a copy which is its own organism. Multi-cells specialize into different cells to support a more complex set of functions, single cells are an all-in-one package with organelles operating within them.
There is an episode of X-Files that takes place in the artic and involves parasites that you might want to look into. There is something that I didn't quite like about how the parasites acted.
@@neilisawesome2333 It was in the back of the neck and entered through saliva or a body orifice like the ear. It could kinda pilot the human body and they would kill each other if there was more than one in the same body.
You’re thinking of “Ice”. I remember the science advisor Anne Simon discussing this in her book (I highly recommend it-). As for the X-Files, I believe the show generally runs on ‘is it theoretically sound?’. There is of course a part where this can’t happen in real life and that’s filled in by ‘alien bioengineering’, ‘alien technology’, ‘alien conspiracy’ or ‘life is full of bizarre supernatural things’.
To be fair this movie kinda earns it, I remember watching it and it was kinda middling, not amazing but not so bad its enjoyable either, well ok it was kinda good but like they definitely needed to research their disease a bit more to identify it better but still
I swear. For some reason this is the only channel I regularly watch on youtube. It’s like my default setting when going on to youtube. Love the vids Roanoke. Keep them coming 🙌🏻🔥
I thought that cat poop brain parasite was a lot scarier than it apparently is, I thought it could eventually lead to Alzheimer's or something like that. Having grown up around cats, would that mean that that's I've already been infected with this parasite?
the human body has decent protection against things as well, and a parasite just can't come out from no where right? the cat would have to get it from an infected source and assuming yours were kept clean and such, probably ok i think of it like rabies. only obviously not even remotely as dangerous, but like, how many dogs with rabies do you run in to living in a suburban town?
@@karlo2018 I do not like the smell of cat urine, I find this smell just as pungent and disgusting as it everybody else, maybe I'm just nose blind to it after cleaning the litter box for all of these years I don't know.
for you to have gotten it first off your cats would have to be infected first and you ingested the eggs from the litter box or as a fetus your mother was infected(hence the whole thing that the outdoor cats is needed as they have to eat an infected rodent to get the parasite)... never heard the Alzheimer thing did hear that maybe that forms of autism maybe caused from toxo
good point... and a 2019 movie to boot? not saying anything, but very coincidental that a virus, which had the 2019 date stamped to the end of it's name, started in china and essentially took out.. Based of world of meter's current estimate of 7,952,672,500 (give or take 100 as it may be off in it's reporting) pop now and minus 6,326,583 deaths from a c-19 bug to get 7,946,345,917 (again give or take 100 for Worldofmeters possible errors) that ends up being a percentage of = 0.0795529% decrease Or rounded up.. it removed less than .08% of humanity. BUt hey.. we can't be spitting facts of while that thing was bad, it wasn't as catastrophic as the media wanted us to believe... BUT now we're dealing with the cataclysm of a fucked world economy... with a European war going on to boot.
No because no one would get one despite your oppression fetish. Also most likely he meant not being as quick to quarantine, not what ever conspiracy theory nonsense you watched on bitshite
Funny enough i wasn't doing very well mentally up until last year, so it's crazy how it only got better after all the 2020 chaos huehue Looking foward to this vid, even if the movie might be terrible, and glad you've got a sponsor today ! Cheers from Brazil
Hahah judging by the title I seriously thought this was a comedy about somthing she posted that she shouldn't of and it went viral......I was completely wrong
So Emma literally witnessed Stacy get infected…immediately after watching a Chinese guy infecting a woman in the SAME WAY but she still kept her around wtf.
10:15 you would have to start it like 16 to have that many tattoos. I don't know if everybody knows this but if you get too many tattoos or too much ink for a tattoo put in your body at once it becomes toxic. Your lymph nodes will swell up to the size of kiwis or bigger. I speak from experience it's not a fun experience. However with how much he has even though it's all just blacking porch theoretically should be pretty cheap it is still black ink that has to be put in very dense for a lot of those so depending on the artist's skill and how much they charge he's easily wearing between 3 and 10 grand on his body and that's just from the waist up
I'd love to see you do a video on the effects of the Manchurian Gold chemical from Man of Medan or the strange underground creatures from House of Ashes.
LMAO, I'm sooo glad I'm not alone in my irrational fear of an amoeba that has only infected like 20 people in the past 30 years has somehow got me. I also got lake water up my nose a few weeks ago and was more worried than I had any right to be. I blame Kurzgesagt.
Animal Science student here - I'm currently doing my own presentation and literature review concerning toxoplasma gondii infection in feral cat populations around the US. It's fascinating to see just how these tiny creatures are able to influence animals much larger than themselves. Evolutionarily speaking, a fantastic and highly successful species!
Hey just wanna say I absolutely love your videos. I've always loved so many of the games and movies you talk about and Wondered alot about if any of it was researched even a bit. Good work and keep it up. Also the background re4 music is always nostalgic to hear.
We dissected fetal pigs in my biology class which didn't bother me at all. What did was the preservation they were pickled in cause my god, that smell stuck EVERY where!
Love your use of background music based on the movie. The one of the sand monster having bioshock 2 music because of its oceanic nature and this one having RE4 save room music based on this movie being about parasites just like RE4
Oh this movie, after only lime 10mins I knew this was a disease Roanoke had to tear apart. The stupidity of people and the entire situation was baffling.
One thing I'm slowly learning is that attachments to family and other people will be your downfall in any kind of survival situation if you're not careful
I got to the dissect a deer in my high school Health Occupations class. The deer volunteered itself when it jumped out in front of the teacher's car on her way to work. It was a fresh kill so we got the full bloody experience.
Great video! Gotta say though, watching that same cough from the woman into the dudes mouth happen like 20 times had me listening with my phone screen off lol
Yeah this kind of reminds me of those worms from clone wars, where they just need to get in your nose and they can take full control of your body. You should make a video about that.😺
I've only recently discovered this movie, and I'm glad you're covering the science behind this movie before I watch it. I like to know exactly what I'm getting myself into when I go to watch a movie. I'm glad there's someone that can explain the science of movies.
Anyone else use his videos to fall asleep, not cause he’s boring, I do watch the whole video even if I’ve seen the movie, it’s just his voice is so soothing tbh.
I can honestly say nothing pisses me off more than people who are actively working against their own best interest either through stupidity or arrogance, thus making other people's lives harder in trying to save their lives when they refuse to participate
The whole worm inside the nape thing grossed me out lol , its like that feeling of your clothing rubing your nape and thinking theres a bug on your nape LOL.
"How could you afford so many tatts at 18" Easy, parents money. Hell, i've had my mother try to buy me tattoos since 17. Denied cause I'm not one for tatts. But yeah, that's not really too farfetched.
145,000 housing market in California, HAHAHA! (Cries in Californian) at the current housing market $500,000-700,000. Also love your videos, keep it up!
The soundtracks you use for your videos Make it a thousand time better, I mean the second I play this video I start to hear the calm and not in danger part of the resident evil 4 soundtrack its awesome
Just to be clear man, that "lack of parasites is making allergies worse" thing is pretty damn tenuous at current, I wouldn't call it more than a hypothesis since only one parasite has been shown to, once introduced, mitigate allergies
A lot of the reasons why allergies are getting worse probably is more the fact people don't expose their babies to allergenic substances, like peanut butter, though who knows, life is complex as hell.
agreed, and even then I personally would rather suffer allergies than have my body's hard work and effort be leeched off of by some freeloading worm. Parasites are problems, and any "benefits" they may have should be induced through alternate, less intrusive means than having a hostile organism take root inside you.
@@sirfrancis8732 the same logic would apply to bacteria and fungi living in our intestinal tract BUT some of them are basically impossible to avoid and/or only positive for healthy people - they help break down food, absorb nutrients/vitamins and protect you from hostile hostile bacteria. It's not exactly the same but it's the same logic, it is possible some parasites are only beneficial in a healthy person.
Very good video, Roanoke! As a Psych major I'm always impressed with how much viruses, bacteria, and parasites can actually mess with the brain. Also, I always appreciate you explaining the impossible into something that sounds possible. Also, I was wondering if you've considered covering the Blacklight virus from the Prototype game series. Would love to hear your take on it.
5:15 im jealous of your school experience. Not only were kids making out in halls common but teachers had to break up pervs who'd just start grinding on each other in public like high school was a nightclub and they stopped doing dissections because of complaints from vegetarian parents who even protested dissecting worms. we also had tons of lab equipment but due to fears of kids hurting themselves we just werent allowed to use any of it so science labs were just used as normal classrooms for science class.
Wait... @RoanokeGaming is an actual biologist? Well, that makes sense, his break downs are well done with actual factual science and tries to make a logical jump to the things that happen in the movies. Ultra great job! 👍
You could have people in the CDC who do nothing but educate people about viruses...BUT the low IQ faux noise crowd would still only be listening to the grifters who tell them its all a lie and a hoax...the low IQ MAGA crowd and their grifters really love their whataboutism and digging up whatever little stupid things they can that can be used to push their hoax, liberal satanist scheme to take over the country
Im not usually affected by gore and such but the worm being pulled out made rather uncomfortable but overall great video i love playing games and just listening to these videos keep up the good work sir
For 7th grade bio we dissected fetal pigs My group managed to get an A+ for the free dissection portion of the lab as we managed to enucleate the pig and extract the eyeball intact. Had a weird kind of cataract but otherwise it was actually really similar in appearance. The teacher still has the eyes in the classroom in a jar of preservatives. Last I heard he has a standing challenge to his classes during the free dissection to deliver an intact heart. Been over half a decade still hasn't happened yet.
To be honest when you said what type of worm it was, I thought it was a type of nematode. Either way I enjoy every video you post about parasites, viral outbreaks, etc… very interesting stuff. Keep up the awesome work!
I always wear a mask when I scoop the litter box. I did it because of the dust, but I guess this protects me somewhat from the evil kitty poo zombie disease.
You should also never forget that and gloves when working in the garden. People always warn pregnant people of the kitty litter, but don't know that you can also get toxoplasmosis from working in the garden or just some rare steak. It is a super-common parasite that your immune system has likely fought off a multitude of times already. During pregnancy we are simply far more vulnerable, because our beloved, growing parasite keeps our immune system low, so it won't attack it.
love watching your videos roanoke movie to gaming viruse/disease and how they work and ineffect a human and how the body fights back i learn alot from this witch i thought would never happen keep this amazing work up and can't wait for next video again you work isamazing and inspiring keep it up man i and your fans gives you our full support
yup.. way easier than editing human genes from scratch. One day it can turned into an artificial organ that is implanted to regulate the immune system.
Awesome vid as always mate, love the Susan safe way of describing stuff, always gives me a giggle. On a side note I grew up hunting and animal culling, always found it interesting seeing the differences and similarities between internal layout of different animals. Helped a lot in bio class
Its so cool how you can explain all these made up viruses from games and movies. I love crazy over the top viruses like in Resident Evil and the game Prototype that does giant body horror transformations.
I steal your parasites calming our immune system bit all the time. Its sent me down many rabbit holes. Prob a non answerable question but what parasites COULD the body use medically to possibly help with certain immune issues and viruses? Not that Im going off an experimenting but just curious if youve ever thought about it.
Listen to "this podcast will kill you" and their parasite/tapeworm episodes! They talk about the lowered inflammation that certain parasitic worms give people, and how it may prevent Crohn's/IBD/IBS
His "We need parasites" argument is actually nonsense though. The origin of allergies is a lot more complicated than "we dont have enough parasites anymore. Yes they do surpress the immune system, but we have other means to do that. Healthier ones too
You know, my perspective on horror movies changed soooo much during Covid. "Man everyone's acting so stupid, an the leaders are all just not listening to science an letting there egos get in the way" Well well. Time really proved that right.
@@serenity8839 yeah even in country whit actual competent leader they could do nothing since people where complaining just for being forced to stay home the unruliest of many killed a lot of people that could have been saved
Has anyone actually seen a person remove a bot fly larva from another person??? That $hit is literally the $hit of nightmares!!! I've been bitten by a brown recluse before on my lower abdominal region (my gut for all the dumbass kids reading this thinking I'm making some kind of joke), it literally looked someone shot me at pointblank range with a .45 caliber and I, again, literally had a huge ass hole in my stomach that you could almost stick your entire finger into. That being said, and my main point being: I would actually much rather be bit by a brown recluse again personally than ever have someone pick those disgusting little-big ass maggots out of my body.
Another possibility: someone engineered the tapeworm with something like eusocial insect DNA to see what would happen, and something really weird happened. Another potential source of DNA would be Braconidae wasps of some sort, as there might be something akin to polydnaviruses involved with the disease process.
Roanoke would you do an SCP? Would you break down “The Bone Hive”? Listening to your points about the ‘hive’ these creature make I’d love to hear the more scientific take on the SCP! I listened, I didn’t watch. You mentioned Botflies and the tripeaphobe in me was too creeped out to look after hearing that 😂

Yeah, whenever I see a worm, and it’s in a person? My first thought is that it’s some kind of parasite, as single celled organisms aren’t usually capable of morphing into multi-cellular ones, as far as I know. I really like the science parts of your videos though, Roanoke! They’re very fun to listen to.
Don't all multicellular organisms start from a single cell?
@@infernaldaedra Yes but no, while it is true that all multicellular organisms begin as a single cell. They cannot support themselves in that status, and require nutrients to split into more and more cells. A singular cell organism only divides when it has reached a certain mass and then produces a copy which is its own organism. Multi-cells specialize into different cells to support a more complex set of functions, single cells are an all-in-one package with organelles operating within them.

There is an episode of X-Files that takes place in the artic and involves parasites that you might want to look into. There is something that I didn't quite like about how the parasites acted.
I think Roanoke covered the video. Was it about alien parasite growing in the human stomach
@@neilisawesome2333 It was in the back of the neck and entered through saliva or a body orifice like the ear. It could kinda pilot the human body and they would kill each other if there was more than one in the same body.

Oh. Probably not yet covered
You’re thinking of “Ice”.
I remember the science advisor Anne Simon discussing this in her book (I highly recommend it-).
As for the X-Files, I believe the show generally runs on ‘is it theoretically sound?’. There is of course a part where this can’t happen in real life and that’s filled in by ‘alien bioengineering’, ‘alien technology’, ‘alien conspiracy’ or ‘life is full of bizarre supernatural things’.

I thought that cat poop brain parasite was a lot scarier than it apparently is, I thought it could eventually lead to Alzheimer's or something like that. Having grown up around cats, would that mean that that's I've already been infected with this parasite?
If you like the smell of cat urine, maybe. Talk to a doctor.
the human body has decent protection against things as well, and a parasite just can't come out from no where right? the cat would have to get it from an infected source and assuming yours were kept clean and such, probably ok
i think of it like rabies. only obviously not even remotely as dangerous, but like, how many dogs with rabies do you run in to living in a suburban town?
@@karlo2018 I do not like the smell of cat urine, I find this smell just as pungent and disgusting as it everybody else, maybe I'm just nose blind to it after cleaning the litter box for all of these years I don't know.
for you to have gotten it first off your cats would have to be infected first and you ingested the eggs from the litter box or as a fetus your mother was infected(hence the whole thing that the outdoor cats is needed as they have to eat an infected rodent to get the parasite)... never heard the Alzheimer thing did hear that maybe that forms of autism maybe caused from toxo

RE4 music in the background of a video discussing a parasite? Yes please. Roanoke’s background music always manages to make me nostalgic.
Hahah judging by the title I seriously thought this was a comedy about somthing she posted that she shouldn't of and it went viral......I was completely wrong
Ah yes. A parasite that reduces fear and anxiety and boosts happiness around cats. I'm struggling to see a bad side to toxoplasmosis.
So Emma literally witnessed Stacy get infected…immediately after watching a Chinese guy infecting a woman in the SAME WAY but she still kept her around wtf.
Dude, I love how you used music from Resident Evil 4. Love the music. Love the game. Love your content. Keep it up.
10:15 you would have to start it like 16 to have that many tattoos. I don't know if everybody knows this but if you get too many tattoos or too much ink for a tattoo put in your body at once it becomes toxic. Your lymph nodes will swell up to the size of kiwis or bigger. I speak from experience it's not a fun experience. However with how much he has even though it's all just blacking porch theoretically should be pretty cheap it is still black ink that has to be put in very dense for a lot of those so depending on the artist's skill and how much they charge he's easily wearing between 3 and 10 grand on his body and that's just from the waist up
I'd love to see you do a video on the effects of the Manchurian Gold chemical from Man of Medan or the strange underground creatures from House of Ashes.
LMAO, I'm sooo glad I'm not alone in my irrational fear of an amoeba that has only infected like 20 people in the past 30 years has somehow got me. I also got lake water up my nose a few weeks ago and was more worried than I had any right to be. I blame Kurzgesagt.
Yeah, I know it scared me to till I learned that you only get infected if swallowed or snorted up the nose. So you're pretty lucky👍

Yeah this kind of reminds me of those worms from clone wars, where they just need to get in your nose and they can take full control of your body. You should make a video about that.😺
I've only recently discovered this movie, and I'm glad you're covering the science behind this movie before I watch it. I like to know exactly what I'm getting myself into when I go to watch a movie. I'm glad there's someone that can explain the science of movies.

Hi Roanoke, could you cover the parasites from Parasyte The Maxim next please?
Thank you.
he doesnt cover Anime , cool suggestion though , but he only covers movies and tv shows and games but not cartoons.
The soundtracks you use for your videos
Make it a thousand time better, I mean the second I play this video I start to hear the calm and not in danger part of the resident evil 4 soundtrack its awesome
Just to be clear man, that "lack of parasites is making allergies worse" thing is pretty damn tenuous at current, I wouldn't call it more than a hypothesis since only one parasite has been shown to, once introduced, mitigate allergies
A lot of the reasons why allergies are getting worse probably is more the fact people don't expose their babies to allergenic substances, like peanut butter, though who knows, life is complex as hell.
agreed, and even then I personally would rather suffer allergies than have my body's hard work and effort be leeched off of by some freeloading worm. Parasites are problems, and any "benefits" they may have should be induced through alternate, less intrusive means than having a hostile organism take root inside you.
@@sirfrancis8732idk man I'd prefer form living in my ass over dying to an orange
@@sirfrancis8732 the same logic would apply to bacteria and fungi living in our intestinal tract BUT some of them are basically impossible to avoid and/or only positive for healthy people - they help break down food, absorb nutrients/vitamins and protect you from hostile hostile bacteria.
It's not exactly the same but it's the same logic, it is possible some parasites are only beneficial in a healthy person.

Black Island Sound actually has a scene discussing this. I heard it and was like "Hey, it's Roanoke's thing!"
Very good video, Roanoke! As a Psych major I'm always impressed with how much viruses, bacteria, and parasites can actually mess with the brain. Also, I always appreciate you explaining the impossible into something that sounds possible.
Also, I was wondering if you've considered covering the Blacklight virus from the Prototype game series. Would love to hear your take on it.
5:15 im jealous of your school experience. Not only were kids making out in halls common but teachers had to break up pervs who'd just start grinding on each other in public like high school was a nightclub and they stopped doing dissections because of complaints from vegetarian parents who even protested dissecting worms. we also had tons of lab equipment but due to fears of kids hurting themselves we just werent allowed to use any of it so science labs were just used as normal classrooms for science class.
Wait... @RoanokeGaming is an actual biologist? Well, that makes sense, his break downs are well done with actual factual science and tries to make a logical jump to the things that happen in the movies. Ultra great job! 👍
The fact that MGK is in this movie tells me enough about its quality.
There should be a special sector in the CDC for educational educators.
You could have people in the CDC who do nothing but educate people about viruses...BUT the low IQ faux noise crowd would still only be listening to the grifters who tell them its all a lie and a hoax...the low IQ MAGA crowd and their grifters really love their whataboutism and digging up whatever little stupid things they can that can be used to push their hoax, liberal satanist scheme to take over the country
Just a heads up in case you meant to say ''scientific educators'' you accidentally said ''educational educators''
Im not usually affected by gore and such but the worm being pulled out made rather uncomfortable but overall great video i love playing games and just listening to these videos keep up the good work sir
For 7th grade bio we dissected fetal pigs
My group managed to get an A+ for the free dissection portion of the lab as we managed to enucleate the pig and extract the eyeball intact. Had a weird kind of cataract but otherwise it was actually really similar in appearance.
The teacher still has the eyes in the classroom in a jar of preservatives. Last I heard he has a standing challenge to his classes during the free dissection to deliver an intact heart. Been over half a decade still hasn't happened yet.

You should also never forget that and gloves when working in the garden. People always warn pregnant people of the kitty litter, but don't know that you can also get toxoplasmosis from working in the garden or just some rare steak.
It is a super-common parasite that your immune system has likely fought off a multitude of times already. During pregnancy we are simply far more vulnerable, because our beloved, growing parasite keeps our immune system low, so it won't attack it.

If this guy told a story about a mundane trip to the grocery store, I would be absolutely enthralled.
would it be possible to selectively breed or genetically engineer a benign parasite for the immune calming effect
yup.. way easier than editing human genes from scratch. One day it can turned into an artificial organ that is implanted to regulate the immune system.
Dunno my dude but my friend had specific worms put in his stomach that cured his deathly allergy to sulfur/sulphites. So it’s kind of a thing already

That being said, and my main point being: I would actually much rather be bit by a brown recluse again personally than ever have someone pick those disgusting little-big ass maggots out of my body.
Another possibility: someone engineered the tapeworm with something like eusocial insect DNA to see what would happen, and something really weird happened. Another potential source of DNA would be Braconidae wasps of some sort, as there might be something akin to polydnaviruses involved with the disease process.
