    I love how quick doctors are to say it's allergies. I went to urgent care cuz my eyes had swollen shut. I had to hold my eye open to drive just for the doctor at Urgent care to tell me that it was allergies. I was experiencing anaphylaxis. It just hadn't spread to my throat yet. Still to this day no idea what caused it. Don't know if it was something I ate or if it's just something I'm allergic to in the air (betting the later), but it caused a severe allergic reaction and all they did was label It as allergies and told me, "you're good to go, just take allergy meds" as if I hadnt taken multiple different types and none of them worked so thats why i went to urgent care, They never even gave me anything for my allergies so they didn't even give me anything to possibly treat what was causing it. And I told them that I can't even go to work or classes and I am in college. I couldn't see at all. Unless i physically opened my eye with my fingers and it was extremely painful.
    Before anybody asks it was not pink eye and it was not an eye infection because they gave me nothing and it eventually just went away as winter came. And it wasn't just my eyes that were swollen shut my nose swelled up. My cheeks had swollen up and parts of my forehead were swelling up as well. My eyes were incredibly itchy along with the rest of my skin on my face and I literally could not sleep. It was getting really hard to eat food because it was hurting to open and close my mouth. My eyes were swollen shut for several weeks. Once the swelling started to go down I developed permanent wrinkles from how poofy my face had gotten and having nothing to get the swelling to go down. I looked like a 20 year old that had done meth a couple times with how much i aged based on before and after photos.
    Funny part is I was going to school to become a doctor. Because of all these experiences I've had with doctors, I decided not even going to touch the medical field for career. Instead I double majored and now I'm going with environmental engineering. Less gaslighting.
    Another sidebar I went to an allergist about a year after because that's how long it took for my insurance to find me one and the allergist was baffled that they didn't stick me with an EpiPen at the urgent care because if I had gone home and ☠️ it would have been their negligence. I don't even know how many kinds of allergy meds I took or the sheer amount of each one I took. Eventually after dosing myself up so much with the allergy meds, the itching eventually stopped, but the swelling stayed until winter.

    • @glow1815
      @glow1815 4 місяці тому +12

      I hope you continues to find out what causes the swollen. Sounds horrible that the Dr just dismissed it as Allergies and yes that sounds like what usually assume without researching. They should do blood test instead. Glad it went away. Hope you don't experience it again.

      Kinda late, but did you do any physical activity before that breakout of symptoms?
      As someone with no allergy history, suddenly at 27yo, I experienced a few bizzare cases of sudden severe allergy symptoms following physical activities.
      I would break out into hives, welts, swollen face, puffy eyes, severe itching all over, swollen throat.
      After a few ER visits and an allergist visit, I was prescribed 2 epipens and my episodes were diagnosed as exercise induced anaphylaxis. There were no common allergens I tested allergic to.
      I'm 32 now, and still carry the epipens, loratadine, diphenhydramine, and ranitidine.
      I hope you find the answers to your mystery one day. Thought I'd share my experience so you could compare and see if it may be the same thing. GL!

      Some drs are just weirdly not into doing their jobs. I had a visible deformity that a dr insisted was nothing, then growing pains, then it was I dont exercise enough, and finally it was my fault cause I sat weird. Just accepted that I would be taking tylenol everyday of my life, couldnt run how other people did, and sometimes I couldnt go up stairs my knees would hurt so much. Changed drs cause of insurance, that dr took one look at my weird legs and sent me to a specialist where I got three major surgeries to make my legs useable. Also, on a petty note, the weird way I sat was in fact the only direction my legs could bend.

      Yeah I don't eat meat anymore. If it's not t.solium it could be a spontaneous mutation of the PRNP gene of the cow you're eating (you'll die of vCJD in this case eventually because of PRPsc proteins) . There was a BSE case in the Netherlands not too long ago, so this is a real and persistent danger. (I don't want to know how many people diagnosed with CJD actually have vCJD because the symptoms are identical, cows are slaughtered before you even have the chance for a save diagnosis, (long incubation times) and animals can now be fed with other animals again... (at least in Europe) It's only a matter of time until the pig version PSE will effect humans as well...

    I have a degree in parasitology and as soon as I read the title I knew exactly where this is going. However, I'd like to say that the source of the cysts didn't have to be the ass-scratching cook... I find it much more probable that it was an auto-infection from the patient's own feces. This is how most cases of cysticercosis happen - that's why it is always dangerous to catch T. solium, even though the taeniosis (having the adult worm in your gut) itself has mild symptoms. One doesn't have to be some disgusting pig (no pun intended) to get their hands, and subsequently food, contaminated by their own feces. We come to contact with it every day after all.

The disease itself can manifest in many forms as the video said.

    My kitten had a similar story of sorts. She started to develop seizures not long after I adopted her and where she also has cerebellar hypoplasia it was suspected that they were an unfortunate side effect so she began treatment of phenobarbital which eventually included gabapentin as they were still happening. She was not too thrilled about it especially since it didn't seem to really help.
    Then, another late night where I had to bring her in to emerge (and gently hitting a deer along the way), the vet asked what her history was prior to being adopted at which point I said she and her brothers were outdoor strays but is now strictly indoors. Once the seizures subsided not long after being directly injected with phenobarb, she grabbed a box of Profender and applied the topical solution while explaining that this is something not often seen which is why it was likely misdiagnosed and how a parasitic tapeworm infection of the brain is possible under certain circumstances. One of the two active ingredients in Profender is praziquantel.
    Spent about $1200 in total in emerge visits and medication to find out a $15 injection was all she needed.
    Worth every cent and the deer was okay.

    In 2001 I was victim of this same case while living abroad after eating undercooked pork infected with this parasite 6 months prior to the event. I experienced all symptoms described in the video. I experienced seizures which took me to the emergency room and recovered hours later; subsequently, later that night I experienced further seizures, which landed me in a coma for about nine months.
    This event had life-changing consequences in my life as I’ve developed multiple neurological issues that has affected me ever since, and had to learn how to live with.

      A friend of mine from highschool had one when they were in junior high (likely due to a perfect storm mix of having chronic migraine - which increases stroke risk - being out in direct sunlight in Texas in summer, guzzling several Monster energy drinks in rapid succession, and having a pre-existing heart problem) and made it through pretty much completely fine other than losing the ability to percieve certain "rotten" type smells - the rest of their sense of smell works fine, just that specific range is difficult for them to percieve now.

They would boil it from the rivers n had outhouses etc. He got cancer in 2016 had chemo n eventually went into remission. Almost 1yr to the day of completing chemo he had a seizure out of no where. They originally thought the cancer had returned n went to the brain but after tests n a brain biopsy they discovered toxoplasmosis. They said he prob gotten it as a child from the dirty water, undercooked meat or contact with feces from the outhouses etc. But bc he had a healthy immune system it was dormant n he was asymptomatic. However since the chemo had lowered his immune response it attacked. He was on antibiotics n antiparasitics n anti seizure meds for awhile n eventually made a full recovery!

Professional meat grinders aren't the same as home grinders so you need to push meat with the special stick or hammer into grinder so it will be grinded better.
      One day, some stupid male student used his hand instead of hammer to push the meat. All other students, including my nephew, were taken out of kitchen immediately. Cause the view of accident was so disgusting. This male student lost his hand and was forced to leave college.

So one day he goes to a hospital and complains to about feeling sick and the docs immediately notice he's got jaundice. They do a blood test and question his family and go okay, he'd an alcoholic let's tone down the alcohol and then that'll improve his liver function. The uncle loses consciousness 3 days later and then dies shortly thereafter. Turns out his brain was full of worms and the constant abuse of alcohol was probably affecting the worms too and helped keep him alive

It was also about a worm infection (not sure it was also a tapeworm) but the main difference was the place where the worm had gotten stuck. The infected person was not aware of the worm and it was only noticed, when they fall, broke their pelvis and were examined at a hospital. Turned out the worm had somehow wondered or hatched close to the pelvic bones and had started to chew on them, turning them into swiss cheese in the process. They were able to remove that little monster but I don't know, if they were able to fix the damage it had already done.

    Your level of responsibility, to not only tell a garrowing medical story that resulted from a sketchy food truck, but on multiple occasions to reinforce that foodtrucks are actually heavily insoected so as not to impact peoples potential livelyhoods, is incredible.
    Many other youtubers would just bang out the story for views and not think about that at all.
    Seriously love your work, learn a lot from these.

    When I was an icu nurse, we had a boy that came in with Neuro symptoms like this. They thought he had meningitis, but the ct scan showed these cysts in his brain from disseminated pork tapeworm infection just like this. They tested the whole family for tapeworms. Apparently they had eaten pork at a luau while in Hawaii a month or two prior. The kind where the pig is buried and cooked for 1-2 days. The boy was probably scratching and not washing his hands after and reinfected himself just like this man.

    This is just a little fun fact from working in food service, if you can avoid it, never ask for a recommendation- we're incentivised to give you what's not selling or soon going to go bad. I'm not saying it's unsafe- unlike here- but still you're better off just picking something from the menu at random than asking for a recommendation if you're looking for freshness and extra safety

      So, if the kitchen is telling you guys to make these recommendations, saying we need to get rid of this stuff, so push it. Then you are complicit if you push it. So basically what you’re telling me is that servers are unethical? Really? I read Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential. I worked as a bartender etc. I am well aware of the shenanigans that go on in the kitchens. It troubles me, however that a server would knowingly try to poison me.

      Yeah, this is literally my worst nightmare. Literallly, I went to sleep with a migraine one time and had a nightmare about having brain worms and the hospital inexplicably not being able to find a neurosurgeon or send me to another hospital. That shockingly was the most out of place thing in the dream, as my actual doctor made an appearence, and there were even brain MRIs that my subconcious inaccurately labeled "X-rays". I can usually tell when I'm dreaming, but for some reason I didn't pick up on it that time, since my dreams are insanely detailed, and I was experiencing head pain when I fell asleep, it was a perfect storm...

I looked at the side of the takeout box and it said from 2009. I was like wow, this food was 14 years old and it was still amazing??? And then when I woke up I realized.. how the actual hell did I get that math correct in my dream? That 2023-2009 was 14 years? I’m not too bad at math but idk it just shocked me. Dreams are so cool man. But not when I dream about having a terrible day at work. I had a dream 2 nights ago that I was working at my dollar general job and I got shot at 5 times, and that it was pouring down rain and a huge sinkhole opened up in our basement and I was scared shitless. And then when I tried to leave my car wouldn’t start and my seatbelt wouldn’t unbuckle. And then my brakes stopped working while driving and I got into 3 car accidents. This was all in one day in my dream. And one of my customers had the nerve to tell me he was stressed out, I was like HA YOURE stressed out???? Wait till you hear about my day! And then we closed at fucking 2 am for some reason and I was pissed cause we usually close at 9. And this whole dream I had was when I was on my day off in real life and asleep all day. Wild stuff man. I think it’s because I drink so much apple juice before bed when taking my meds, I heard it gives vivid dreams

    I heard about a couple in Adelaide who got these tapeworm lesions in their brains after a holiday in Bali. They were careful not to eat pork but they ate other food in cafés that sold pork. Apparently the dishes were not washed thoroughly and tapeworm eggs stuck to the plates and went into their stomachs. Bali has a minority of Muslims and their food outlets never handle pork so that's one way to be safe there. They also have vegetarian and vegan restaurants.

    This medical case reminds me that eating any food outside the home that you did not personally source and prepare yourself, example a restaurant , food truck or even a friend's house is somewhat equivalent to taking an airline flight. You have essentially ceded your continued health and safety to the actions of other people and just have to hope and trust that they adhere to best practices for health and safety.

    I worked at a super market and one day we found several buckets near our garbage compactor that we started locking up because people would dive in. The buckets had a cows head and the others had other body parts. We found out from the police that apparently some people were killing livestock at night and taking body parts. Possibly selling or using the meat. As for the dumpster divers we found that a Chinese restaurant owner was taking the meat we through out. The cameras ended up catching him and they had their place shut down.
