Related to the upside down roller coaster: When I was nine, I rode one of these with my two older sisters at the fairgrounds and it stopped like this for five minutes or so. We were all freaked out, but it became really scary when me and my sisters realized that my seat belt was not tight enough across my body so I began slipping. They struggled to hold me up and the entirety of everyone on the ride were screaming for the operator to bring the roller coaster carts down because I was in danger of falling to my death. The operator had stepped out and was nowhere to be seen for that five minutes. Eventually the ride was brought down and everyone got off. I remember so disoriented and scared my sisters brought me back to my parents. I don't remember what happened after that, but I kind of hope that the operator was fired.
I hope so too, and this is why I’m scared of roller coasters. I’m sorry you had to go through this. Did you ever go on another roller coasters after that?
My moms harness came off at a state fair when she was a kid, and it was one of those rides where you’re like in a cage and you spin around, and she was like thrown all over the place and stuff.
I rode this as a kid one time. I rode it with a girl who was a lot bigger than me, the belt barely even touched me. I was crying by the time I got off bc I had to hold on for dear life the whole ride

I gave CPR to a bird many years ago. It fell into a water bucket and was floating motionless in the water. I took it out, held it upside down by its legs and gently squeezed (as in CPR) it's "chest". Water poured out. After a few minutes the bird revived and after another few minutes it flew away. I often wondered if the little guy survived or maybe got pneumonia and died. Whatever happened it was a very long time ago.
i recently found a dying duck. It was in the water and struggling to keep its head over the water. At first i assumed that it was sleeping (i have almost never seen a duck sleep or learnt about them so i wouldn't know) so i left it. I tried turning it over after a bit but it just went back. I thought something was wrong so i brought it on land and gave it cpr. Later on, others had seen what happened and called some people over. They took it away in a towel and (hopefully) it survived.

Not only was the water the color of the vinegar, but you can see how the strawberries shrunk and turned white in the bowl. They literally just destroyed most of the stuff in the fruit and left it as a white husk of dead plant cells
I was with Dr mike on this one. I facepalmed so hard at this woman. The sad thing is not that they're wrong, its that they're so sure of what they're saying that they post it on tik tok and then probably get hard roasted later for looking like an ID10T.
@@revendax2584The worse part is that many people will *not* roast her, and instead will *believe* her and then change their eating/buying habits over it. I used to work as a bagger in a supermarket, and one woman came in complaining about the cost of organic food -- while buying hundreds of dollars in only organics -- but said she "had to" because she believed she was "allergic to all GMOs of any kind" and "can't trust that conventional produce isn't really GMOs". I tried briefly to explain that's not how GMOs or biology work, she was confident that it was, and I gave up and sighed. People are getting scammed out of what little money they have due to ignorant fearmongering, and it's kind of disgusting on the part of the people doing the mongering.
So, I have small fiber neuropathy. I was diagnosed 4.5 years ago. Before then, I used to eaten alive by mosquitos. While I was at my sickest (whenever I could make it outside, I was bedridden for a time) everyone else would get eaten up and I wouldn’t have a single bite. I’ve done IVIG, I’m now close to remission, and I just got my first mosquito bite. Honestly, it made me really happy, it felt like a sign that I’m actually getting better ❤
Not a mosquito expert but I’ve taken a medical entomology class (where we only covered medically relevant critters) back in the day and heard that they sense our CO2 emissions so maybe they go for people who are more metabolically active? 🤔
Predatory saliences. Their nervous system is sensitive to signs of life....CO², thermogenesis, kinetics....all of it. They sense your fear and vigilance, and subsequently the more you move the more alluring and tasty you are.
Yes, mosquitoes are attracted to sweat, body temperature, pregnant women, drinking alcohol and certain chemicals like lactic acid, high metabolism, high carbon dioxide. There are also evidence that blood type (O) attracts mosquitoes more than blood types (A or B). This information comes from studies done by Pfizer, CNN, OFF, & Nature.
that is part of the reason, but they're also attracted to certain body odors and I thought heat (which would lead back to metabolically active people falling victim more often), not sure about that last one though
Johnny Cakes is an incredible cake decorator/designer. They look so realistic. He also does videos with the Try Guys now from time to time. I just adore him! He’s so talented, hilarious, relatable and genuinely kind. It’s was nice to see him in this video too.
Was going to comment the same thing. I remember him once or twice from the without a recipe series, but became obsessed with him after Is It Cake. His channel is a great and I live that he has his own series on the Try Guys channel now.
I don’t want to hear anyone crying about things being “not natural” unless they live outside and poop on the ground cause toilets and houses aren’t natural either but I don’t hear them griping about that.
everything on earth is natural, we didn't invent anything that didn't come from nature as it's base materials, a house is built with some kind of bricks for exemple, those bricks are made from a combinations of sand, clay and lime primarly. every thing on earth can be traced back to "nature" like that, so that argument of something being "not natural" is even more funny
I would love to see Dr. mike talk to someone like hank green about the environment. Particularly about how negative environmental factors effect the public health of areas that have historically been neglected.
@@laurao3274 I think it's a learned skill. I recently started studying ASL, and it gets kinda tricky sometimes with words I haven't practiced that much, even if I know what I'm supposed to be doing.
Because it doesn't mean anything. It's like doing Patty Cake with someone, it's just a learned muscle thing. It's no more stimulating than rubbing your belly with one hand while patting your head with the other hand.
i have gastroparesis ive had it since the age of three and been gastrostomy tube fed since that age (i can still have oral nutrition tho) so its really great to see gastroparesis being talked about cause its such a rare thing.
Interesting! I never knew it was uncommon..I have endometriosis and multiple surgeries helped my chronic nausea a liiiittle bit but I still had pretty consistent nausea with eating and I was finally referred to a GI after years and years of these symptoms to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy and they found that I have gastroparesis. Makes sense why I’m always so nauseous after eating 😢
I never thought about germs growing in there. Been avoiding air blowers for ages cuz they're so loud and takes an age to dry compared to a paper towel or drying it on my own clothes 😂😂 There's probably still more germs on the door knob or door from all those people who don't clean their hands.
I'm actually taking an intro level entomology course this semester. According to the lectures I've seen on mosquitos so far, they can actually detect which type of blood you have even from across the room, and favor certain blood types over others.
10:31 I started to tear up. I know her pain. I just want to give her a hug and tell her I am happy she is still here. ❤ Anyone who has had any extreme medical issues and still does; I understand and can relate on many levels. ❤ Sending Hugs 🤗❤❤
Not only do you entertain viewers that are not doctors or nurses, you educate real medical professionals that watch your videos. You are one of the best doctors too. Keep it up!!
as a person with adhd and pretty bad misophonia i can't/find it incredibly difficult to use hand dryers in bathrooms so i prefer using hand sanitizer instead. my school recently swapped from paper towels to hand dryers, and while i tend to steer clear from public bathrooms anyway it's only worsened the issue for me.
Same here, Autistic and have misophonia. I find hand dryers very difficult to deal with. I don’t use them and try to leave the bathroom as quickly as possible because other ppl are using them
ADD, Autism with misophonia - oh, glorious life. ADD turning my attention TO the sound, misophonia making me want to destroy the world to stop the sound.
The difficulty it took to be diagnosed with hEDS is honestly depressing. And I feel like I wouldn't be so bad off now if I had someone who would have listened to me earlier
I'm still trying. Messed my back up exercising like they kept telling me to do, and messed my knee up most recently *kneeling on a bed* after I asked my GP to figure it the f out
Dr. Mike- " Can we give science classes to these people so that they can understand how the body works?" Love this quote. Basically sums up every "health hack" videos.
7:05 Mosquitoes are more attracted to people with blood type O. They come with an interest in carbon dioxide, high-contrast clothing worn, the bacterial population on your skin, and the infrared rays emitted from the body.

I must say I have enormous respect for you (Dr Obaz) considering the manners in which I received my complete treatment for Hpv after taking your medication. God bless you for coming through for me Doc!!!!!
I did chest compressions on my dog. He was coughing and just fell over. Wasn’t breathing, moving, and stiff. He started breathing again but only lived another five months. I can’t complain considering he was almost 16 years old.
4:20 thank you for this! I have a big high school placement test coming up and I read an article about this in the reading comprehension section of my practice test so this was a good reminder for me to study lmao
I've done cpr and chest compressions on several types of animals and humans. The best are always the ones who survive, but I learn from each, so it's worth it every single time.
It was playing dead, and its a thing they do to escape a predator when running is not an option. Frogs can still technically breathe in water. This was completely unnecessary, and 100% did more harm than good
Doctor Mike I grew up on my family’s dairy farm for my entire life. My family milked cows from 1977 until 2023. The entire time I had unpasteurized milk and I swear it is so much better than pasteurized milk. It went through a filter and then was in a temperature controlled tank that constantly stirred it. I miss it so much and wish it wasn’t illegal to sell raw milk. I would buy it in a heartbeat. ❤
I'm not a mosquito-ologist (lol) but I remember coming across theories that mosquitos are more attracted to O+ blood, and to people who are larger or exercising, because they're breathing out more carbon dioxide and following trails of elevated carbon dioxide plays into how mosquitos track down a target.
A couple years ago, I was with some friends and just one of them was not getting stung by mosquitoes, one of them told us that he had just read an article where it says that it might be because our smell or more specific our blood type, since then I’ve been asking people (mostly classmates) during lectures where I know there are a bunch of mosquitoes and yeah… blood has a lot to do with it. We are just an ice scream store for the mosquitoes, they choose what flavour crave that day 😆
I don't know if it's because I'm watching Doctor Mike, but every ad I've gotten in the last hour has been those collogen ads "as we age, our natural collogen production may decline...". I went back into the video and forced and ad, and got it again.
I'm not a mosquito-ologist, but I can tell you from lots of experience that mosquitoes are attracted to potassium (which apparently is perceivable through the skin to them) and I've heard (and can confirm 😭) that they like light-colored people. So a blond white person in light clothing schlorping down coconut water, you're lit up like a dutch brothel to mosquitoes.
EDS is actually a spectrum disorder. My son is on the hypermobility spectrum. The joints in his arms and legs actually move in multiple directions, which can cause him to dislocate quite easily.
yes, it is but there are also many different types which can have a huge impact on overall prognosis. a lot of people who don't know much about eds don't know there are types [which are technically all separate conditions] or only know of H-EDS as its the most common
Currently in a vet class and planning on studying to be a vet tech, while I’m sure most videos of people doing cpr on animals aren’t aware, but we’re taught to cup our hand around a dog’s nose while keeping their mouth shut when administering a breath, so there is a safe way to administer mouth to mouth on an animal
@@foam3132 From what I know there is simply inconclusive evidence and lack of research into the subject for us to answer that, but the current tesis is leaning towards no, as there is simply lackluster evidence of this being the case. However, apparently having recently ingested a beer or something sweet, being pregnant, sweating or even just being in a group of people does actually increase the mosquitos attraction towards you. All but the last can be explained by the body odors you produce, like sweat having lots of acids that mosquitos like or how pregnancy alters hormone levels and therefore the body odor. And the last one is due to the higher CO2 density in the air, thusly letting the mosquitos know that there's living things, probably with some suckable blood, nearby.
LISTEN: I read this book called Binding 13, and in the book the main male character plays rugby (based in Ireland 🇮🇪) and he has a torn adductor muscle.. and he had surgery on that muscle because of some sort of abscess.. scary. “Boom Boom f**king boom.”
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I’d love to see more about it on your channel sometime! There’s a lot of misconceptions about it that even a lot of doctors have. Not all of course, but some do.
I routinely workout. In defense of Emsculpt, which I tried out of curiosity, the session left me better able to engage target muscles during my normal workouts. I think, before Emsculpt, and particularly as a person with a uterus, I struggled to engage my lower abs, instead relying on middle-upper abs. I suppose it might have been equally beneficial to retain a personal trainer or physical therapist, but Emsculpt very quickly helped me fix this (without my knowing or intending that it would).
A couple of years ago, around 2019, I started losing an extreme amount of weight - going from 120 to 100 lbs in about a month, all the while eating constantly. I just knew something had to be wrong. Finally my blood work showed my blood chemistry was way off - similar to someoe who had severe eating disorder. I had a small growth on my pancreas, luckily, non-cancerous, that was removed. However, the remaining part of my pancreas was still not doing what a pancreas does. I was still losing weight, until I was down to about at my lowest 85 pounds. I was started on TPN, 24/7. There was a insertion in my upper arm with a catheter that ran close to my heart. That's where the TPN was administered. I was on this for about six months, at home. I was told that this type of insertion is almost impossible to keep clean or sterile in a normal home atmosphere. So of course, after a couple of months, I came down with sepsis. Back into the hospital. After being on the TPN 24/7 for about five months, I was switch to only 12 hours a day. When I finally started gaining some weight back, we went to first TPN every other day and then every third day until I could finally get off of it. That stuff really saved my life.
My brother had Gastroparesis. They treated it by giving him a botox injection. His stomach now empties normally now. Before they said he had one of the worst cases they'd ever seen.
@@amethyst1062Botox has a ton of medical uses. It works by paralyzing muscles, and it does it really well. It’s mostly used to prevent headaches, from my understanding.
I work as a CNA and Phleb at a rural hospital and we had a patient that had TPN and Lipids through a PICC line, but it was for a completely different issue.
Back in 2002 my mom was having severe headaches. She went to the hospital and had tons of scans done. They had thought she had brain cancer, but thankfully they found she had MS.
I love his reactions to the most subtlest things, especially how he gets so worked up while explaining why things are wrong. (Last thing tho, BREAD DOES NOT GROW IN THE GROUND, NEWS FLASH)😂
10:50 I actually have a story related to this! Years ago when my father was in the hospital after a bad car crash, he had some brain injury and they did the same thing was they removed part of the skull due to the brain swelling. The other interesting thing was they put the piece of skull like under the skin in his abdomen to keep the bone alive or whatever for when they put it back (I was pretty young so forgive if I got some details wrong!)
The roller coaster one scares me. I have hydrocephalus (condition where brain doesn’t drain cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) properly) and I’ve always been told to never be upside down for long periods of time otherwise pressure would build up in my head. If I was on that ride, I would probably die. 😅
I would be very interested to know why the passengers were left hanging upside down rather than staff manually pushing the coaster to a safer location to unload them. That’s not healthy for anyone, but I imagine there are other neurological or circulatory conditions besides hydrocephalus that could make this situation very dangerous.
I've done a lot of research on this. Mosquitos are attracted to humidity, concentrated CO2 levels (they literally spaz out around sodas), and specific body odors that the body gives off. That particular chemical is found in different amounts on people's skin throughout the population, more or less when sweating. I would also assume they are attracted to body heat a tiny amount. Use deet on your clothing when camping, people. But only when the deet is dried.
Hello! I am a guy from Romania(that’s not important) but now when I watch your videos UA-cam is showing me that you are a licensed doctor in the US and that’s pretty nice because people can see if you can be trusted by the community 👍
Not a mosquito - Expert but a Former mosquito victim, mosquitos are attracted to sweat. If you go to bed sweaty or had sweat over the day und you didn't took a shower, they will mostlikey bite you ☺️ so if summer rolls in, try to shower before going to bed and you shouldn't become a stingy mess. Helped me pretty good till now.
I have one of the many types of EDS and the commorbidities and literal laundry list of other medical issues I have because of EDS or at least related to EDS is insane. They're the reason I'm actually disabled and recognised so by the government, not the EDS in itself.
Dr Mike just made me lol. Total ParENTERAL nutrition = nutrients given through a central line to bypass the digestive system. Total PARENTAL nutrition = breastfeeding, lol. 😂
Those machines that simulate crunches may be seen as useless to many people. However, as someone with POTS who can't physically do crunches most days, this type of machine is a game changer! I will be asking my doctor about possibly using or even buying some of these devices for myself.
I never laugh at people when they get hurt… but that gal slipping, with her bin over her head just laid me out. 🤣 I do hope she didn’t get hurt, though.
I'm the same way, I really hate seeing people get hurt. But there was a video in like 2007 or something of a model walking down the runway and her shoes were so weird that she kept wobbling on her ankles and the announcers were crying laughing and that was the one time that I ever laughed at someone just.... slowly falling.
7:20 not a mosquitologist, but afaik they love feet smell a lot, and I found that to seem very likely experimentally. It is said cheese can make a diversion, but I never wanted to waste cheese to try that hypothesis.
I took some first aid training in my work, and they told me about the risks of mouth to mouth infections so I have to check first for any fluids, and If I don't carry one of those valves then just do chest compressions that also blows some air in.
6:25 It might be healthier, but for people with scoliosis and EDS this feels like a much safer way to get things done without causing a disk slip or dislocation.
Yeah I think it's good for people who have some type of physical ailment that prevents them from working out naturally, but unfortunately these types of procedures and technologies aren't being marketed towards people like that. They're being marketed to otherwise healthy adults who would benefit much more from doing regular exercise. But it's all about the money with these companies.
You can work all these muscles without the strain of crunches, etc. Yoga is a great example (assuming it's a real teacher and not just some "power flow" thing. )🙏

I used to work as a bagger in a supermarket, and one woman came in complaining about the cost of organic food -- while buying hundreds of dollars in only organics -- but said she "had to" because she believed she was "allergic to all GMOs of any kind" and "can't trust that conventional produce isn't really GMOs". I tried briefly to explain that's not how GMOs or biology work, she was confident that it was, and I gave up and sighed. People are getting scammed out of what little money they have due to ignorant fearmongering, and it's kind of disgusting on the part of the people doing the mongering.
So, I have small fiber neuropathy. I was diagnosed 4.5 years ago. Before then, I used to eaten alive by mosquitos. While I was at my sickest (whenever I could make it outside, I was bedridden for a time) everyone else would get eaten up and I wouldn’t have a single bite. I’ve done IVIG, I’m now close to remission, and I just got my first mosquito bite. Honestly, it made me really happy, it felt like a sign that I’m actually getting better ❤
Not a mosquito expert but I’ve taken a medical entomology class (where we only covered medically relevant critters) back in the day and heard that they sense our CO2 emissions so maybe they go for people who are more metabolically active? 🤔
If you are not producing CO2 then mosquitos are the least of your problems.
Predatory saliences. Their nervous system is sensitive to signs of life....CO², thermogenesis, kinetics....all of it. They sense your fear and vigilance, and subsequently the more you move the more alluring and tasty you are.
Yes, mosquitoes are attracted to sweat, body temperature, pregnant women, drinking alcohol and certain chemicals like lactic acid, high metabolism, high carbon dioxide. There are also evidence that blood type (O) attracts mosquitoes more than blood types (A or B). This information comes from studies done by Pfizer, CNN, OFF, & Nature.
I read that too. But I also read that it's the females who suck the blood for mating and laying eggs. Gross .
that is part of the reason, but they're also attracted to certain body odors and I thought heat (which would lead back to metabolically active people falling victim more often), not sure about that last one though

I don’t want to hear anyone crying about things being “not natural” unless they live outside and poop on the ground cause toilets and houses aren’t natural either but I don’t hear them griping about that.
everything on earth is natural, we didn't invent anything that didn't come from nature as it's base materials, a house is built with some kind of bricks for exemple, those bricks are made from a combinations of sand, clay and lime primarly. every thing on earth can be traced back to "nature" like that, so that argument of something being "not natural" is even more funny
Your logic is physically, mentally and emotionally painful.
Not to mention the computer they’re using to tell you how natural they are…

i have gastroparesis ive had it since the age of three and been gastrostomy tube fed since that age (i can still have oral nutrition tho) so its really great to see gastroparesis being talked about cause its such a rare thing.
Interesting! I never knew it was uncommon..I have endometriosis and multiple surgeries helped my chronic nausea a liiiittle bit but I still had pretty consistent nausea with eating and I was finally referred to a GI after years and years of these symptoms to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy and they found that I have gastroparesis. Makes sense why I’m always so nauseous after eating 😢
Dr. Mike is the reason why I never ever use those air blowing machines in public bathrooms. Shaking my hands all the way baby!
I never thought about germs growing in there. Been avoiding air blowers for ages cuz they're so loud and takes an age to dry compared to a paper towel or drying it on my own clothes 😂😂 There's probably still more germs on the door knob or door from all those people who don't clean their hands.
@@Nathan_Bookwurmthe germs don't actually grow in the dryers, they just aggressively blow the germs in the air directly onto your hands
I take my own hand towel to work so I don't have to use the hand dryers. 👐
I've avoided them ever since Mythbusters
It's really not that bad. They'll get there with the next thing you touch.
I just love Dr. Mike’s outbursts when he hears medical nonsense 😂😂
I'm actually taking an intro level entomology course this semester. According to the lectures I've seen on mosquitos so far, they can actually detect which type of blood you have even from across the room, and favor certain blood types over others.

as a person with adhd and pretty bad misophonia i can't/find it incredibly difficult to use hand dryers in bathrooms so i prefer using hand sanitizer instead. my school recently swapped from paper towels to hand dryers, and while i tend to steer clear from public bathrooms anyway it's only worsened the issue for me.
Same, but I am Autistic and I have misophonia!
Same here, Autistic and have misophonia. I find hand dryers very difficult to deal with. I don’t use them and try to leave the bathroom as quickly as possible because other ppl are using them
The whole handdryer thing is bullshit.
You can get the same bacteria by just waving around that container in the same bathroom stall.

The difficulty it took to be diagnosed with hEDS is honestly depressing. And I feel like I wouldn't be so bad off now if I had someone who would have listened to me earlier
I'm going through that now. Don't know if it's eds for me or just hypermobility, and most doctors around me aren't willing to even diagnose it.

Dr. Mike- " Can we give science classes to these people so that they can understand how the body works?" Love this quote. Basically sums up every "health hack" videos.
I wonder how many know how the body works, they just don't care because they think they can sell you something
7:05 Mosquitoes are more attracted to people with blood type O. They come with an interest in carbon dioxide, high-contrast clothing worn, the bacterial population on your skin, and the infrared rays emitted from the body.

That killed me 😂 First they did surgery on a grape, now they did chest compressions on a frog! I was just as surprised as Mike when it worked 😂
As the fun ruining guy, I'd say its more likely the frog initially played dead, which some of them do if they can't escape predators.
@@petmachthat's what I thought as well. I have seen frogs do that when my cats were chasing them.
I've done cpr and chest compressions on several types of animals and humans. The best are always the ones who survive, but I learn from each, so it's worth it every single time.
It was playing dead, and its a thing they do to escape a predator when running is not an option. Frogs can still technically breathe in water. This was completely unnecessary, and 100% did more harm than good
Me too. Do frog’s hearts even beat at the same bpm as a human’s

Doctor Mike I grew up on my family’s dairy farm for my entire life. My family milked cows from 1977 until 2023. The entire time I had unpasteurized milk and I swear it is so much better than pasteurized milk. It went through a filter and then was in a temperature controlled tank that constantly stirred it. I miss it so much and wish it wasn’t illegal to sell raw milk. I would buy it in a heartbeat. ❤

I'm not a mosquito-ologist (lol) but I remember coming across theories that mosquitos are more attracted to O+ blood, and to people who are larger or exercising, because they're breathing out more carbon dioxide and following trails of elevated carbon dioxide plays into how mosquitos track down a target.
A couple years ago, I was with some friends and just one of them was not getting stung by mosquitoes, one of them told us that he had just read an article where it says that it might be because our smell or more specific our blood type, since then I’ve been asking people (mostly classmates) during lectures where I know there are a bunch of mosquitoes and yeah… blood has a lot to do with it.
We are just an ice scream store for the mosquitoes, they choose what flavour crave that day 😆
I don't know if it's because I'm watching Doctor Mike, but every ad I've gotten in the last hour has been those collogen ads "as we age, our natural collogen production may decline...". I went back into the video and forced and ad, and got it again.
I'm not a mosquito-ologist, but I can tell you from lots of experience that mosquitoes are attracted to potassium (which apparently is perceivable through the skin to them) and I've heard (and can confirm 😭) that they like light-colored people.
So a blond white person in light clothing schlorping down coconut water, you're lit up like a dutch brothel to mosquitoes.
They’re also drawn to C02, much like bees are when they choose to attack and protect a hive.
EDS is actually a spectrum disorder. My son is on the hypermobility spectrum. The joints in his arms and legs actually move in multiple directions, which can cause him to dislocate quite easily.

yes, it is but there are also many different types which can have a huge impact on overall prognosis. a lot of people who don't know much about eds don't know there are types [which are technically all separate conditions] or only know of H-EDS as its the most common
I have hEDS too! But I know someone with vascular EDS which is soooooo dangerous
I have mild heds, but as I aged I found out I have Veds. So yes severity can vary, but so can the mix of types.

@@Neuvillete4.6depends how you think about it
6:50 some studies have actually shown that mosquitos prefer sertain blood types, with type O being their favourite. The more you know
What about diabetic blood (high blood sugar at that)
@@foam3132 From what I know there is simply inconclusive evidence and lack of research into the subject for us to answer that, but the current tesis is leaning towards no, as there is simply lackluster evidence of this being the case. However, apparently having recently ingested a beer or something sweet, being pregnant, sweating or even just being in a group of people does actually increase the mosquitos attraction towards you. All but the last can be explained by the body odors you produce, like sweat having lots of acids that mosquitos like or how pregnancy alters hormone levels and therefore the body odor. And the last one is due to the higher CO2 density in the air, thusly letting the mosquitos know that there's living things, probably with some suckable blood, nearby.
How mosquito would know your blood type before biting you though..

I routinely workout. In defense of Emsculpt, which I tried out of curiosity, the session left me better able to engage target muscles during my normal workouts. I think, before Emsculpt, and particularly as a person with a uterus, I struggled to engage my lower abs, instead relying on middle-upper abs. I suppose it might have been equally beneficial to retain a personal trainer or physical therapist, but Emsculpt very quickly helped me fix this (without my knowing or intending that it would).
A couple of years ago, around 2019, I started losing an extreme amount of weight - going from 120 to 100 lbs in about a month, all the while eating constantly. I just knew something had to be wrong. Finally my blood work showed my blood chemistry was way off - similar to someoe who had severe eating disorder. I had a small growth on my pancreas, luckily, non-cancerous, that was removed. However, the remaining part of my pancreas was still not doing what a pancreas does. I was still losing weight, until I was down to about at my lowest 85 pounds. I was started on TPN, 24/7. There was a insertion in my upper arm with a catheter that ran close to my heart. That's where the TPN was administered. I was on this for about six months, at home. I was told that this type of insertion is almost impossible to keep clean or sterile in a normal home atmosphere. So of course, after a couple of months, I came down with sepsis. Back into the hospital. After being on the TPN 24/7 for about five months, I was switch to only 12 hours a day. When I finally started gaining some weight back, we went to first TPN every other day and then every third day until I could finally get off of it. That stuff really saved my life.

The roller coaster one scares me. I have hydrocephalus (condition where brain doesn’t drain cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) properly) and I’ve always been told to never be upside down for long periods of time otherwise pressure would build up in my head. If I was on that ride, I would probably die. 😅
I would be very interested to know why the passengers were left hanging upside down rather than staff manually pushing the coaster to a safer location to unload them. That’s not healthy for anyone, but I imagine there are other neurological or circulatory conditions besides hydrocephalus that could make this situation very dangerous.
I've done a lot of research on this. Mosquitos are attracted to humidity, concentrated CO2 levels (they literally spaz out around sodas), and specific body odors that the body gives off. That particular chemical is found in different amounts on people's skin throughout the population, more or less when sweating. I would also assume they are attracted to body heat a tiny amount. Use deet on your clothing when camping, people. But only when the deet is dried.
Im so happy to see the mosquito clip from The Basement Yard, it's one of my favorite podcasts of all time 😂

I currently work in a mosquito research lab in the department of UF Entomology. Mosquitos are attracted to the carbon dioxide in our breath.

Carbon dioxide is also a popular choice for various mosquito control devices and many use dry ice for this reason!
