A few years ago my dad came down suddenly very ill. At first it appeared to be a stroke, but in less than 12 hours from symptoms he had to go on assisted breathing and was showing general signs of paralysis. Then they were worried about botulism. It is exceedingly rare, except in cases involving my dad's hobby: home canning. So they put him on medications for that, and I gave the health department a sample jar of everything he had. Turns out it wasn't botulism though, but a very rare disease and an especially severe type of auto-immune illness called "Graves' disease." Speaking of R.I.P.'s and other unfortunately named science terms. It's been 3 years, he's alive but his getting better means being able to go 20-30ft with a walker.
Addressing those comments, I am fundamentally aware that botulism is not caused by the bacteria it's named after. but by an after-product of its metabolism. Thanks all the same. Botulism is still scary are all fuck, and it was scary when my dad was suspected of having it. It's no laughing matter.

@@BassIsTheBestInstrament Thank you, but I wanted to just hear “Thanks for these timestamps.” I tested them several times, although they may be a bit early or late. I’m trying to have the timestamp be the end of a previous entry, so that it doesn’t sound clunky or awkward. Nonetheless, I really liked the video, definitely my favorite be amazed video yet, since it explains why these toxins are so deadly by also mentioning their effect on the human body. That was the one flaw the other video like this had, it didn’t explain why the substances could kill. Goodbye!
I agree with a lot of comments you don't just say why a substance does something, you explain it better than any teacher could in class. Again cutting a grain of salt into over 600 pieces to get the correct dose for one poison boggles the mind.
Ew noooo.I'm scared of UV rays ruining my skin.And of freckles.And of bugs.And I can't even climb the rock climbing wall,how will I climb a tree lol?But mostly agree with everything else
22:40 I was a Can Seam inspector and it is a very in depth job to ensure that the can seam itself is sealed to such measurements to ensure there will be no cases like this. This has helped me when shopping to be able to tell which dented cans are not good enough to buy and which are safe but marked down in price. ;)
@agemoth Yes, I gathered that. But I'm not an expert at spotting whether a dented can is safe or not. So, I won't be buying dented cans ever again. My local supermarket doesn't mark dented cans down, anyway. So why should I risk my health?
21:15: The graphic depicted is wrong. Yes, the ricin was shot into the calf muscle of Georgi Markov by a modified umbrella, but it was NOT a pointed dart. It was a spherical "bb", drilled out on one side to create a cavity, that was filled with ricin. When the assassin jabbed the umbrella into Markov's calf, he fired off the mechanism, placing the ricin-laden bb under Markov's skin. The idea was to make it seem like the assassin had accidentally jabbed Markov's leg with the point of his umbrella as he strolled along, apologizing for doing so, and Markov thinking nothing more of it, until he walked away, and suddenly collapsed, the assassin vanishing into the crowd, never to be caught. This umbrella, or one of its type, is Russian-made, and is on display in the CIA museum.
Wow! That is quite the dangerous yet ingenious device! I see why there are some many spy tool tropes in movies. There’s a lot of thought and time put into these devices.
Fun fact strychnine is put in industrial strength pest killer, ahhh the good ol' days of spraying gopher and badger holes with absolutely no equipment and most days no shirt, the memories 😍
Lead poisoning was at its highest between the 1930s and 1970s due to leaded gasoline being widely used at the time and since the lead came from car exhausts from roads, going outside (especially near any type of roads) increased the chances of lead poisoning rather than staying inside, guess which generation was raised in the 1970s? Leaded gasoline has long been outlawed in almost every country so lead poisoning is a lot more rarer than it was before.

Starting as a kid growing up I was messing with anything petrol powered, and I couldn't care about exposure to it. I was stupid. I used to wash my hands with it. Anyway around 20 yrs of age,, after a good beer session I couldn't walk the next day, my leg bones ached. Finnally I went to the quack who did a blood test that came back as very high lead level> messing with petrol. I quit my evil habit and I'm61 today, a mechanic , on diesels, and occasional small.petrols but I'm very wary of it. But I survived
I seem to remember watching a documentary on Roman emperor Nero that cataloged his litany of bad behavior and awful deeds, one of which was poisoning his stepbrother (who was next in line for the throne). In this documentary, toxicologists looked at the poisons available during Nero's time and determined that the three most likely options were cyanide, strychnine, and hemlock. The toxicologists agreed that while cyanide is found in fruit pits, you'd need quite a few of them for it to be lethal, and it would be very noticeable that something had been slipped into the drink.
4:09 The part about the woman who had a certain type of mercury on her skin through her gloves I heard about on ChubbyEmu. That is scary. Glad things have improved on the safety requirements since then where they now where 2 layers of gloves, one which it will not go through if spilled on.
Research this event. The workers there had been desperately trying to get management to provide proper protective gear for a long time. Personally, I'd probably wear a dozen gloves....
@@deborahaumiller7391 Then you'd be six times an idiot. Two pairs is enough for anybody. (Actually, one proper pair ought to do it.) You sound like the kind of person who wears a surgical mask to just to drive around alone in her car.
Point of order: Botulism isn't caused directly by the bacterium, but by a toxin produced by it. Clostridium botulinum is also a strict anaerobe, which means the tiniest amount of oxygen will kill it, so an infection is extremely unlikely. FYI, this toxin is the same chemical used in BoTox injections, so yeek😨
Yes it is amazing the things that have been used as "health and beauty" aids. At one time they used lead oxide as a skin treatment, then strychnine, and arsenic. In the early 20th century Radium was all the craze. Today we inject botulism toxin.
Why? Not every fish has mercury some are grown in ponds not caught in sea also fish has small amounts u can eat 3 cans of tuna a week without worry. Not to mention our lofe is a ticking clock as we inhale gases from cars and other chemicals from everywhere most food has pesticides or artificial chemicals unless you eat organic
In San Diego County, those castor bean trees grew like weeds around my house. My neighbor told me to put the beans down the gopher holes, to poison the little cusses.

Once while unsupervised I had nuked some taquito taco things and decided it would be fun to temp them cause the insides were lava. I picked up an old thermometer that had mercury. It exploded onto my food. I at the time was more concerned about the glass. I dodged a nuke there.
Mercury as a (pure) metal is quite harmless in itself. Yes, it's toxic, but in this form the body can hardly absorb it if any at all. So a drop of ordinary mercury is not a big deal. However, once it's in an organic compound (dimethyl or methylmercury e.g.) IS incredibly dangerous, because it's much easier absorbed.
One time years ago, I had just moved out of my house. We weren’t allowed in the attic because it had lead in it and was dangerous. The people we bought it from said “oh don’t worry as long as you stay outta the attic it’ll be fine” well not long after moving out my mom started to feel different. So we all went to an odd doctor. Then a few days later we all did some sort of foot bath at the doctors place? It made the water a difference color. Then apparently we were unlead poisoned? Idk I sometimes have very vivid and realistic dreams (I’ve begged my mom to go to non existent playground and I used to be convinced that I could drive when I was six because I had a reoccurring dream about driving). Is this a dream or was that something that actually happened? Are doctors like that real? I feel like it was before I really knew what lead was so it seems odd that I’d dream that but idk.
All very interesting. I've never been keen on fish for exactly these reasons. As for 'accidental' poisoning, how about going into the burnt-out shell of western Europe's largest covered space which had previously contained military ammunition and which had burned continuously for about 5 years before finally exhausting itself? You used to be able to see the smoke coming out of it from a hilltop miles away and the fire was so large that there was no way to deal with it other than letting it burn out. I know somebody who was sent in with electrical contractors afterwards to set about stripping out and refitting electricals. The walls were covered with dust containing depleted uranium from tank shells. This person developed lipomas, one of which will eventually paralyse him, as it's wrapped around his spinal column and has been growing gently for 30-plus years. What a lovely prognosis to receive in your early 20s - he has been experiencing effects increasingly as he ages and it is inoperable (surgery would paralyse him anyway). His GP - upon being shown some of these lumps 30 years ago - asked if he'd been exposed to heavy metals.... Defence authorities of course will never admit that such poisoning took place and there is this thing called Crown Immunity as well - you can't prosecute them even if it's patently obvious that they were responsible for something unfortunate. Military personnel sent to invade Kuwait / Iraq were exposed to similar poisoning - it's well documented.
Care to say where and when ? As not much depleted uranium shells are used and it's not like they are not usable anymore after some date it sounds kinda...not much like a real story
another masterpiece of facts from this amazing channel the fact that so many research go into one video makes this channel the best keep the good work 👍👍
Once again dude knocked it outta the park!! You have seriously created the perfect work from home playlist but sometimes I forget what I’m doing and get lost watching 😅
Re mercury thermometer, the hospital I worked for discontinued its use due to its toxicity when broken. We would call the Public Health Department to clean up the spill, they would wear protective gears including face masks and gloves with outer gloves super thick so they are protected. Thank you Be Amazed for these informative videos.
In my country mercury thermometers are still pretty common, especially in households with children. The glass does seem pretty thin and fragile. I imagine if one fell to the floor it breaks easily. What would happen if a child or pet accidentally swallowed the mercury inside a thermometer?
This comment is for 9:38 in the video. One thing I thought was kind of interesting was how if you ever raised stick bugs for pets, it seems like they camouflage some of their eggs to look like Castor beans depending on the species. ✌️
The expression "mad as a hatter" comes from lead poisoning, lead being a prominent component used in the construction of hats at one time. The longer people were in the trade the more lead they would be exposed to and the eventual effects on their mental health gave rise to the expression.
But it’s true, I do always learn a lot from them! And thanks for making them, I bet you might have saved a life before just with some of the videos you make. 😁
This happened to my whole family we ate fish that had some in it. We had diarrhea for days and we couldn’t really stand up. We would be walking our knees would be buckling after just a few steps. Adding vomiting and nausea made me wonder if we were poisoned by someone.
@@meganfoxreal4964 Bruh just one fish and the only person that’s wasn’t feeling like shit for 3 days straight was my dad because he didn’t eat with us that day. I wouldn’t advise you to try it out and see how it feels to want to shit and vomit in one setting. Than feeling weak as if you’ve worked out for days without rest that was quite an experience. Be careful when eating salt water fish especially around industrial areas in certain countries.
Taipans wander through our Backyard in Australia, we have to watch out for them, one killed on of our dogs, and we have “accidentally” killed a few of them. They are not shy. They come at you. They rise up and attack. Hate them.
They said she died because the glove was compromised not because it was absorbed through the glove. Now they have to wear 2 pairs of gloves to work with it.
Last week at the university I’m attending, in our class of zoology I learned about the actual purpose of why all amphibians produce these poisons on their skin, there are some that really do use it against predators etc, but those have them in their glads behind their ears. But all of amphibians are poisonous, even those that aren’t actually as poisonous to us, it’s because of how they need their skin to be constantly at least a bit wet, fungi are going to be easier to grow on their skin which to frogs and other amphibians can be extremely toxic. I found it an interesting fact, so I thought I’d share it while we were on the topic of frog poison
The channel is quite amazing. I was out of ideas for my science project & then I remembered about this channel speaking about the presence of cyanide in apple seeds & I thought about a project of genetic engineering causing increased production of cyanide in apples & it's utilisation as a potential bioweapon but then I realised that I don't live in Israel.
Such interesting, &a great variety of content! I love that I know I'll learn something I probably didn't know, on such a huge variety of subjects! I often bypass The Bright Side channel, but ALMOST NEVER this one!!
Ah, nicotine. How I wish I could quit you. I regret letting you rewire my brain to the point where not only my body craves you after several hours, but my brain demands it during breaks and after meals too. Can't win for trying, you know?
Best video you’ve done yet, I mean I liked the previous ones but there was no clarification on why the substances were so bad to touch or eat or inhale. Also, the titles were great. Metallic mimicry, for example, is just a great alliteration and I’m a sucker for those. Great job! I’m amazed!
I was born in 1965. I grew up with leaded gas. They told me I had a high IQ in 4th grade, but then I became a troublemaker and a vandal and a petty criminal. Think the lead in the atmosphere had anything to do with it?
Reading online about mercury, it is being looked at to be replaced in thermometers and temperature measurement devices, but isn't large-scale banned yet. Non-mercury thermometers are available, but in some applications it isn't as easy to replace it.
16:20 This is why I wear gloves when mixing my vape juice. I only make 1.5 - 2mg nic but the nicotine that I use is 250mg/ml. That's some really strong and toxic stuff.
I've got some 72mg/ml nicotine from before it was limited. I used to make my own juice in the early days of vaping and that was the limit per ml at the time, but was easily ordered off the internet with no restrictions and no safety literature. At that concentration even the vapour from the bottle can be lethal, so I used to wear a cartridge mask and have a fan blowing out the window. What I thought would be an economy was a massive pain in the butt as a single drop was sufficient for a comparatively large amount of eliquid, but consistency was difficult to achieve at that concentration, and the danger of using it was significant. It's a lot more dangerous than people appreciate! Even at standard eliquid concentrations of 3-20mg/ml it causes skin damage if you spill it on skin and don't wash it off immediately. Took me a few months of using early vapes to figure out why I had so much damage to the skin on my hands, and pretty much all early vape hardware leaked like a mofo lol. For the average person, the sealed vape pens are a better option than messing about with nicotine bearing liquids. Edit: Also the UK version for baked beans is: Beans beans, good for the heart The more you eat, the more you fart The more you fart, the more you eat The more you sit on the toilet seat.
Sort of funny story, I used to be an RN here in Australia, a man was waiting for his wife to be assessed in the ER (small rural hospital) he was sitting in the Waiting Room and a Taipan came inside and bit him. Both he and his wife ended up in the bigger Base Hospital, both recovered, her from Cardiac problems, him from Snake Bite.
Isn't it crazy to think that literal toxic chemicals are exposed to us all the time? I'm not not gonna be able to sleep tonight! Also, who were those doctors who prescribed those chemicals at "Beauty" and "Health" purposes? I think those doctors came from Ohio💀

The people we bought it from said “oh don’t worry as long as you stay outta the attic it’ll be fine” well not long after moving out my mom started to feel different. So we all went to an odd doctor. Then a few days later we all did some sort of foot bath at the doctors place? It made the water a difference color. Then apparently we were unlead poisoned? Idk I sometimes have very vivid and realistic dreams (I’ve begged my mom to go to non existent playground and I used to be convinced that I could drive when I was six because I had a reoccurring dream about driving). Is this a dream or was that something that actually happened? Are doctors like that real? I feel like it was before I really knew what lead was so it seems odd that I’d dream that but idk.
All very interesting. I've never been keen on fish for exactly these reasons. As for 'accidental' poisoning, how about going into the burnt-out shell of western Europe's largest covered space which had previously contained military ammunition and which had burned continuously for about 5 years before finally exhausting itself? You used to be able to see the smoke coming out of it from a hilltop miles away and the fire was so large that there was no way to deal with it other than letting it burn out. I know somebody who was sent in with electrical contractors afterwards to set about stripping out and refitting electricals. The walls were covered with dust containing depleted uranium from tank shells. This person developed lipomas, one of which will eventually paralyse him, as it's wrapped around his spinal column and has been growing gently for 30-plus years. What a lovely prognosis to receive in your early 20s - he has been experiencing effects increasingly as he ages and it is inoperable (surgery would paralyse him anyway). His GP - upon being shown some of these lumps 30 years ago - asked if he'd been exposed to heavy metals.... Defence authorities of course will never admit that such poisoning took place and there is this thing called Crown Immunity as well - you can't prosecute them even if it's patently obvious that they were responsible for something unfortunate. Military personnel sent to invade Kuwait / Iraq were exposed to similar poisoning - it's well documented.
Care to say where and when ? As not much depleted uranium shells are used and it's not like they are not usable anymore after some date it sounds kinda...not much like a real story
guess not...so BS "mild shock"

another masterpiece of facts from this amazing channel the fact that so many research go into one video makes this channel the best
keep the good work 👍👍
Once again dude knocked it outta the park!! You have seriously created the perfect work from home playlist but sometimes I forget what I’m doing and get lost watching 😅
Re mercury thermometer, the hospital I worked for discontinued its use due to its toxicity when broken. We would call the Public Health Department to clean up the spill, they would wear protective gears including face masks and gloves with outer gloves super thick so they are protected. Thank you Be Amazed for these informative videos.
In my country mercury thermometers are still pretty common, especially in households with children. The glass does seem pretty thin and fragile. I imagine if one fell to the floor it breaks easily. What would happen if a child or pet accidentally swallowed the mercury inside a thermometer?
@@keshiaanjani2305 mercury is a neurotoxin, they will need emergency care. I pray it doesn't happen.
I disagree. The deadliest substance in the world are those who don’t subscribe to this channel.
YOU GOT TO 11M SUBSCRIBERS YOU DESERVE IT SO MUCH
Nah, channels beyond 4M subs become indistinguishable from old-school television. It's a real shame to see a good channel get too popular.
"Not even my channels competitors" got me laughing 🤣

6:39 they in captivity loose their poison the poison is made via the things they eat in the wild
This comment is for 9:38 in the video. One thing I thought was kind of interesting was how if you ever raised stick bugs for pets, it seems like they camouflage some of their eggs to look like Castor beans depending on the species. ✌️

The expression "mad as a hatter" comes from lead poisoning, lead being a prominent component used in the construction of hats at one time. The longer people were in the trade the more lead they would be exposed to and the eventual effects on their mental health gave rise to the expression.
Mercury poisoning
@@PatsyLill You are absolutely correct. Can't believe I made that mistake, thank you for the correction!

This happened to my whole family we ate fish that had some in it. We had diarrhea for days and we couldn’t really stand up. We would be walking our knees would be buckling after just a few steps. Adding vomiting and nausea made me wonder if we were poisoned by someone.
I think ur capping cuz u need to eat like 200 fish
@@meganfoxreal4964 Bruh just one fish and the only person that’s wasn’t feeling like shit for 3 days straight was my dad because he didn’t eat with us that day. I wouldn’t advise you to try it out and see how it feels to want to shit and vomit in one setting. Than feeling weak as if you’ve worked out for days without rest that was quite an experience. Be careful when eating salt water fish especially around industrial areas in certain countries.
bro how much methylmercury was on those fish
You sure you cook the fish properly??
Taipans wander through our Backyard in Australia, we have to watch out for them, one killed on of our dogs, and we have “accidentally” killed a few of them. They are not shy. They come at you. They rise up and attack. Hate them.
Love this channel 💎
They said she died because the glove was compromised not because it was absorbed through the glove. Now they have to wear 2 pairs of gloves to work with it.

Last week at the university I’m attending, in our class of zoology I learned about the actual purpose of why all amphibians produce these poisons on their skin, there are some that really do use it against predators etc, but those have them in their glads behind their ears. But all of amphibians are poisonous, even those that aren’t actually as poisonous to us, it’s because of how they need their skin to be constantly at least a bit wet, fungi are going to be easier to grow on their skin which to frogs and other amphibians can be extremely toxic. I found it an interesting fact, so I thought I’d share it while we were on the topic of frog poison
Deadly substances! Awesome!
The worst substance on earth? Elementary school teacher’s “coffee morning breath”
The channel is quite amazing. I was out of ideas for my science project & then I remembered about this channel speaking about the presence of cyanide in apple seeds & I thought about a project of genetic engineering causing increased production of cyanide in apples & it's utilisation as a potential bioweapon but then I realised that I don't live in Israel.
Lucky u😂
I don't even get a science project.

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
Such interesting, &a great variety of content! I love that I know I'll learn something I probably didn't know, on such a huge variety of subjects! I often bypass The Bright Side channel, but ALMOST NEVER this one!!
Ah, nicotine. How I wish I could quit you. I regret letting you rewire my brain to the point where not only my body craves you after several hours, but my brain demands it during breaks and after meals too. Can't win for trying, you know?
Beans. Castor beans.
Nice
OK, I'll bite, what is a quarter of a paperclip's worth? I mean . . . what does that even mean?
Best video you’ve done yet, I mean I liked the previous ones but there was no clarification on why the substances were so bad to touch or eat or inhale. Also, the titles were great. Metallic mimicry, for example, is just a great alliteration and I’m a sucker for those. Great job! I’m amazed!
I was born in 1965. I grew up with leaded gas. They told me I had a high IQ in 4th grade, but then I became a troublemaker and a vandal and a petty criminal. Think the lead in the atmosphere had anything to do with it?
Yes
I was bad for only 4th and 5th grade but I easily got control of my emotions in grade 6
When did you learn to control emotion
Reading online about mercury, it is being looked at to be replaced in thermometers and temperature measurement devices, but isn't large-scale banned yet. Non-mercury thermometers are available, but in some applications it isn't as easy to replace it.
I love how you like sharing your information

This is why I wear gloves when mixing my vape juice. I only make 1.5 - 2mg nic but the nicotine that I use is 250mg/ml. That's some really strong and toxic stuff.
I hope this helps

I've got some 72mg/ml nicotine from before it was limited. I used to make my own juice in the early days of vaping and that was the limit per ml at the time, but was easily ordered off the internet with no restrictions and no safety literature. At that concentration even the vapour from the bottle can be lethal, so I used to wear a cartridge mask and have a fan blowing out the window. What I thought would be an economy was a massive pain in the butt as a single drop was sufficient for a comparatively large amount of eliquid, but consistency was difficult to achieve at that concentration, and the danger of using it was significant. It's a lot more dangerous than people appreciate!
Even at standard eliquid concentrations of 3-20mg/ml it causes skin damage if you spill it on skin and don't wash it off immediately. Took me a few months of using early vapes to figure out why I had so much damage to the skin on my hands, and pretty much all early vape hardware leaked like a mofo lol. For the average person, the sealed vape pens are a better option than messing about with nicotine bearing liquids.
Edit: Also the UK version for baked beans is:

Sorry but the description to suit this poster is : Wot kind of deranged person does these sort of things???
@@adamthomas9924a lot of people used to and still do create their own DIY vape juices with stocks of pure nicotine to dilute.

Sort of funny story, I used to be an RN here in Australia, a man was waiting for his wife to be assessed in the ER (small rural hospital) he was sitting in the Waiting Room and a Taipan came inside and bit him. Both he and his wife ended up in the bigger Base Hospital, both recovered, her from Cardiac problems, him from Snake Bite.
Gods work in mysterious ways.....
Glad they recovered

Where can I find real comments instead of: "Can we just appreciate how much effort this channel does to entertain us?"
The worst thing about lead is that there is no safe amount. Not one atom.
Isn't it crazy to think that literal toxic chemicals are exposed to us all the time? I'm not not gonna be able to sleep tonight!
Also, who were those doctors who prescribed those chemicals at "Beauty" and "Health" purposes?
I think those doctors came from Ohio💀
