A Man Inhaled a Pill...He Survived, Barely
My wife couldn’t burp. I heard about the Botox fix on a podcast. She did it and only needed one injection. Huge quality of life improvement for her.
I haven't had the Botox yet but almost everyone on the subreddit for RCPD calls the Botox life changing.
I have a tiny penis
Did you film her first belch?
Wait what? I can’t burp and am always so uncomfortable!
Wait, what the heck do you do if you can’t burp?? Where does the air go? Do you just explode???
OH MY GOSH. I DIDN'T KNOW R-CPD WAS A TREATABLE CONDITION. I knew I couldn't really burp ever, and that I had terrible bloating and flatulence but I didn't know it was all connected. All the women in my family have this. We call them throat gurgles. It has been causing me significant discomfort for over a decade, I'm so excited to go talk to an ENT! I told my mom and she is super excited too! I can't wait!!!
Please keep us all updated
I also found out it's a thing just a couple of months ago. I can only remember burping once in my life, as a kid when I was annoying my big sister by repeating everything she did, and she knew I can't burp so she burped and then like magic, I also burped. That was maybe 28 years ago...
@@innnak1 Such a satisfying story.
I had no idea about this either! I've only burped about 1-2 times a year out of the blue, and also when I'm throwing up sometimes 😩I knew it was a problem with that muscle, knowing it has a name and is even treatable is a game changer!
@@mostlyghostey I'm so excited for you! To make your life easier, go to the noburp subreddit and check out their wiki list on doctors who already know the condition. It's still kinda new so most doctors don't know about it and are hesitant to treat it.
That was the shortest 14:29 ever. I was very ready to keep watching.
Same!!! I would love more vids like this, maybe even monthly or something
Same. Please do this every day please Hank please.
Same, once I found out that my stomach problems could be cured by Botox I was like alright gimme more!!
Same. That was fun!
my neurodivergent brain loves this video so much, pls we need MORE like hours, put all the ads u want in it, i need a hank marathon answering tiktoks
Yes please!! This is one of my favorite types of videos. I love getting excited about learning new things with the video.
'You have a Lego in your lungs'
Screen: very clearly says Playmobil
I'm sorry Hank. I simply cannot forgive you for this one
Playmobil is the Lego for the kids who never got Lego. Which includes me and my sister.
It might be a Lego piece from the 50s/60s, when they still had non-buildable cars and trees. Don't know about the cones specifically, and can't be bothered to check sorry
Don't be a classist tool
@@JoeriRidder I found the article and it specifically said that he swallowed it in 1974; by the 70s, Lego had introduced the brick building system for most things. I also cannot find any results for a standalone Lego traffic cone from that era. Based on photos, the design of the cone makes much more sense for Playmobil anyhow.
@@GuanoLadexcuse you, some of us got playmobil and lego, and loved them both equally.

the 'in general, we worry too much' - i really needed to hear this today! thank you
"And now we know those things!" what a great way to end a video, i should end all my videos like that
Great idea
First make some new videos...
We miss you dude 😢
Hank: We worry too much.
John:….
The oldest child, youngest child dynamic is real.
John would probably agree, but then that would just be another thing for him to worry about.
you can tell which one is riddled with ocd lol (i have ocd and this cutting board thing has been weighing on me for literal months. hank did not help 😔)

if you're going to inhale something other than air, I feel like sugar is in the benign category. Don't inhale salt though, I saw someone do it on a dare, and they did not enjoy it (they were fine they stopped bleeding, as far as we could tell).
@@LibertyMonk I kind of assume that at some point it melted, mixed with some phlem, and got coughed out. I've had mucassy fevers since then. I still hate thinking about it. Hearing someone lungbled from saltsnorting and got better is strangely comforting, thank you
@@LibertyMonk all bleeding stops eventually.
As a chef, I use different cutting boards for different foods. The meat cutting board for meat, fish for fish, veg for veg. We take cross contamination seriously, especially when allergens like shellfish or nuts are processed. Also people who have been infected with Lyme disease can react to trace amounts of certain proteins in their foods. Commercially, we use plastic but at home I have bamboo cutting boards.
I also use bamboo. I love them ❤
It's the law in the EU. Professional kitchens must use separate cutting board for veg, cooked meat and uncooked meat.
Bamboo is terrible for you knives. Maple, walnut, and birch are better.
@@gusmalone2005 Yeah makes sense as bamboo is grass it contains silica.
@@boots6384 TIL, thank you :)
RCPD sufferer here. It sucks. Had no idea it was a thing until about 6 months ago, it was just a nameless problem i had.
Get the botox, and get the highest dose available. It's expensive, but it's so worth it. I got it a year ago and it's been life changing.
What!!! I can't burp on purpose and i have the noises like featured in the video instead. Did not know it had a name, or a solution. But I do very occasionally have a burp though? Like maybe once a year lol - that feels like it would still count for RCPD to me
@@DisasterAster That was exactly like me. Until my early 20s, I had burped maybe a dozen times in my life, and never on purpose. I have no idea what happened but sometime in my 20s it just went away.
Either do the expensive Botox thing or swallow a jellyfish. Probably similar results 🤷♂️ idk I’m not a doctor
@@RunstarHomer Same! My theory is that I learned by being around my partner, but maybe it has to do with the time of life.
Discovering that I can't burp because part of my body can't relax is just so darn on brand.
I also I watched this on my phone in the break room, and my coworker walked in right as "excessive flatulence" occupied the entire screen 👍🏼

My biggest pet peeve is people explaining things to me that I already know, yet every single thing in this video was something I already knew about but Hank explained so well I somehow was entertained. Hank you are the king of explaining things, you could read a radio manual & keep me riveted.
Right?
I could watch a video of Hank reading a phone book and be happy about it.
Ooh! Woodworking person here i can give you a bit of detail on the cutting boards thing. Plastics are more pronectovthose deep scratches and also having a more ragged surface in general, making it hard to properly sanitize outside of a washing machine.
Wood, on the other hand, does not scratch in the same way even when it scratches. Now, as you alluded to there are a lot of pores in wood, which are mainly but bot exclusively the hollow fibers of the grain. The fun thing about that is if you condition the board regularly with butcher block conditioner or some other oil that **will not go rancid**, it actually clogs the grain and will prevent deep penetration of bacteria into the surface.
Some woods are definitely antimicrobial, and tend to be the ones used outside. Many of those are soft woods though, and arent appropriate for a cutting board. The antimicrobial nature of wood is (i suspect) overstated for this use case, as it is more important and effective in preventing rot from moisture exposure.
denser woods also have smaller/less pores too, and wood has the advantage that as it gets damaged you can just sand it and season it back. as it usually is with these things they just take a bit more work. plastics have the advantage that they don't need the same level of care, but you will have to replace them more often.
There are actually several factors here. Many woods are antimicrobial to different degrees, but there's also a simple mechanical effect here. When bacteria-laden fluid gets on wood, the wood absorbs it, but the water doesn't stay, but absorbs through the wood's pores and evaporates away. The result is that the microbes get dehydrated to death. Pretty quickly too.
Sealing the cutting board minimizes absorption of fluid, which helps prolong the life of the board, but it doesn't actually make them safer for use.
I would watch a series of these. So fun, lots of learning. Hell yeah.
I use a wooden chopping board for my veg which lives on the counter and then plastic ones for meats because I can shove them in the dishwasher where the Temperature gets hotter than if I wash up by hand and for longer.
That’s my logic - it might not be the best thing to do but it’s what I do.
You don't use a glass cutting board for meat?
@@Karaboo7 i've never heard of a glass cutting board! learn something new every day (and surprised hank didn't talk about it in the vid)
Condition with hot salty water scrub and a day in direct sunlight 😊
@@Karaboo7 glass cutting boards are hard on knives (literally).
Yeah glass cutting boards will wreck your knives pretty fast
Please make videos like this a regular thing!
I'm guessing Hank picked up on this because of the "ay yi yi" when he was reading the article, but to elaborate a bit about cutting boards: if you have nice knives, you should never use them with stone or ceramic cutting boards. They're harder than the steel of the knife and will very quickly dull the blade. (Same goes for composite countertop materials, e.g. Formica, and glass, which I think Alton Brown referred to as the Sith Lord of cutting board materials due to how quickly it will blunt your knives.) For something like a cheap supermarket knife, it's not going to matter because they're going to go dull pretty quickly anyway, but for a nice steel chef's knife, you want to make sure your boards are made of a material that is softer than the knife. (Wood, bamboo, and plastic are phenomenal options.)
Plastic is significantly less phenomenal because as you cut your ingredients, you cut little bits of plastic off your board. He briefly covered that in the video!
+
they are also terrible because the knife won't "bite", making cutting harder and increasing the chances of the knife slipping and you end up cutting yourself. that is why you should either have multiple wood cutting boards that you should constantly clean, season, and sand as needed to keep them safe to use, or you should have a plastic cutting board that you know for sure isn't made from toxic materials.
the question about if polyethylene cutting boards are safe however is a hard one, as Hank himself showed us. there is no studies about the long term exposure to polyethylene microplastics, only toxicity. so we don't know at what extent it can be harmful, or if it's even harmful at all at the concentrations you get when using it.
What about glass?
@@saltiestsiren dulls the blade and doesn't "bite". see my previous comment for a longer answer.
6:12 speaking as a redhead, I have indeed woken up during every single operation that required anesthesia including cavity filling, wisdom teeth removal, and colonoscopy!🤗 That last one was a doozy
I've always absorbed nonvaccine really quickly, to the point where I can tell the doctor ahead of time they'll need more before the procedure is done. Someone recently told me that was common for Irish, maybe related to the red hair similar to redheads?
"You find what you need doc?"
"Oh you scared the shit out of me."
"That makes two of us, your honor."
"I'm not a judge, I'm a doctor."
"Yeah and I'm not supposed to be awake. Finish up back there."
🤯 that's insane! That would suck so bad; pre-knowing that you were going to wake up mid procedure. 😮
Those procedures are usually done with some level of sedation, which is a little different than general anesthesia. With sedation you will be very relaxed or even asleep and they often give you drugs so you won't remember the procedure afterwards even if you are aware at that time. The goal is to give just enough to make the procedure easy, but no more, so often you will be aware unless they "turn up the volume" so you aren't freaking out. General anesthesia is a little bit different; your brain is basically turned off, you will be intubated so machines can breathe for you. I have the red-head gene, too, but it's really helped to tell anesthesiologists that before hand (per my dentist's instruction) so they can for instance be more patient waiting for topical anesthesia to work before sticking in a biopsy needle or lung catheter. I also woke up early once during general anesthesia, not fun at all, but I suspect that one was more operator error; you can bet I make sure they always know that beforehand! You can be safely and effectively anesthetized even with the gene, if they adjust accordingly.
@@kindlin I don't have red hair, although many of my relatives do. You can definitely have the gene anyway!
The lemon seed one was a hell of a flashback for me. One of the "science experiments" we'd do for fun as kids was put raisins in carbonated drinks to watch them dance.
Speakers themselves are magnets. You already have one on board. I’m 53, so not a teenager. I also I suspect I am one. I’m gonna order those ferrofluid speakers.
but they are not strong enough to move the ferrofluid. it's more likely it has one or multiple electromagnet behind it tunned to specific frequencies.
I was looking into those speakers before. Apparently the Amazon ones are knock off of a much better quality one and that the ferrofluid in them degrades quickly
loved the 'on vibes, rather not have plastic in my food'
I couldn't burp for 27 years of my life (as far as my memory goes), and then one day it just happened while I was yawning. Still have no idea how that fixed it, but I'm glad to report I have had a Lot less chest pain these past three years. Good to know that if it ever goes away again there's a solution! Love seeing how many people in the comments also have/had RCPD- best of luck to you all!
P.S. I absolutely burp out loud every chance I get now without any care like a stereotypical adolescent boy.
I also had this until I was in my 20s and it never even occurred to me that it was a medical issue with, like, a specific cause - just something I couldn't do, like some people can't whistle. Then one day it randomly reversed itself with no specific trigger I can recall, and I was just suddenly able to burp. It sounds like such a small and inconsequential thing but honestly it was as close to a healing miracle as I'll ever experience. A random gift from the heavens. Now when I drink soda, instead of feeling bloated and uncomfortable, I make loud, fun noises and feel excellent. What an upgrade.
My grandfather is a woodworker and sells wooden cutting boards, and he recommends using Butcher Block Conditioner (USP Food Grade Mineral Oil, Beeswax, and Carnauba Wax), give them a healthy coating of it and let it dry, and repeat a few times. About every month I also give my board a good scrubbing with a coarse scouring pad to remove some of the knife marks in the surface and reapply the conditioner.
These are good tips, but primarily it serves to prolong the life of and keep the cutting board looking good, more than keep it safe to use.
It’s very important that you get the tortilla blanket as soon as humanly possible so you can wrap yourself and refer to yourself as a burrito. Alternatively I think they had pizza and onion but that doesn’t come with the referring to oneself as a burrito.
Calling Playmobil piece of a Lego is infinitely hilarious to me. "No, you are not your own thing. You are a clone; an echo of this one true form."
Hank, thank you so much for doing these. You could just answer the questions, but you make sure to include your research, including looking at sources and being like "eeeeerrrrrrmmmm food & wine?". I feel like more than answering questions, you're teaching people how to look for the answers to their own questions, and that's what we need more of in science communication
+1 for "we worriy too much". Control what you can but love your life!!
I have never been able to burp, and tend to be very gassy... THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!
I'm so happy for you!
I have RCPD! It was awful in school because I'd get weird gurgles during complete silence. And I can't drink soda without tummy unhappiness.
Me too! Some foods are legitimately painful to eat. Like, any noodle soup that requires slurping and therefore taking in air with each bite 🥲
I think I have it or something like it and it causes severe pain occasionally, but it's never really felt like a "disorder".
It's weird, cuz I sometimes make that sound, but I've always been able to burp, and I can easily burp on command (suck in air, burp it out). But I've always wondered if my weird "throat burp", as I called it, had some name, some diagnosis, if it was common or not. I guess this video informed me.
@@elliottmcollins everyone is different! My symptoms are usually pretty manageable. But for some people it really affects their quality of life. If you haven't already, go check out the noburp subreddit! There's dozens of us!
@kindlin Yeah, I think RCPD is when you literally can't burp, so you do this instead. I've never burped in my life. Whether it has to be painful to be RCPD, I'm not sure.
Your smile and laughter really brightened my day. Thanks Hank
Thank you for being you, Hank.
Science react video, incredible. Also I’ve been waiting for the pill answer forever.
i watched an informed and well-articulated video about cutting boards a couple weeks ago ("on cutting boards, bacteria and microplastics" by adam ragusea) and the conclusions i came away with (from my flaky memory) were:
- we still don't have clear evidence that microplastics pose a significant health risk
- the amount of particulates that end up in food is much higher from wood cutting boards than plastic ones (i think it was about 4 times more particulates). these particulates may be safer than microplastic particulates, but it's likely that both types of boards aren't particularly great for humans, and that's in a way just a normal part of human tool use. not every [useful] tool can be 100% safe.
Adam's also of the "we worry too much" school, isn't he? 🥰
Yeah I thought of Adam's video the moment Hank started on the subject :) He seems to do a good job of finding good sources to answer questions like this, and I like his "here's what the evidence says so far, but there often isn't a conclusive answer" vibe.
And yes, from memory, his attitude towards cutting boards was something like "we don't know whether plastic or wood is better, but there are much bigger things to worry about", which I'd definitely agree with 👍
Miroplastics are an environmental so it might make you a worse corpss even if it doesn't make you a corps sooner?
I LOVE THIS! A bunch of different information and the way you present answers is fun and informative!
dammit hank I just got the dirtman song out of my head and NOW ITS BACK
I learned on QI that wood cutting boards contain less bacteria and microbes than plastic ones after watching. Not only is wood anti microbial, it re-seals some of it's smaller cuts giving less pores for bacteria to grow in than plastic ones.
This is especially true of end grain boards.
11:14 nucleation points! Alton Brown taught me that during a bit about superheated water in the microwave spontaneously boiling because there’s no nucleation point until you jiggle the cup. Stick a chopstick in it was his solution!
Yes!!
Toothpick works well too. Just not a metal spoon.

Don’t do drugs 💚 (brat) -Hank Green 2024
I never did drugs, every time I use them they do me...
wow... I want so much for of that type of video...
I love your shorts about explaining things and this is just way better.
3:30 -- Fun fact: The ENT and neurology applications for Botox happened before the cosmetic application for wrinkles. Initially, it was used for things like muscle spasms in patients with cerebral palsy, and for tension headaches.
It was after the treatment of patients with headaches, relaxing muscles in the forehead and temples, that they noticed the facial wrinkles on the upper face minimizing. And just like any other time a cosmetic application is found for a drug, the rest is big Pharma cash cow history.
Likewise, Rogaine (minoxidil) was initially a drug for high blood pressure, and is still occasionally used for this as well as for congestive heart failure. But the main profits from that drug happened after the studies on high blood pressure patients, when they noted some of the patients were growing back scalp hair. And although topical minoxidil has been OTC for quite some time, back in the 1990s Rogaine was still a prescription only drug, even for topical use.
just bought the dew drop bundle, plus the new autumn tea and the earl grey tea which is my favorite from the sample pack!!! I love that my needs in life like soap and tea now contribute to awesomeness
I googled the cutting board material thing once when mine were too degraded and came out with the same ambiguous answer. I got a new set of plastic cutting boards of the same type I already had because they were affordable, dishwasher safe (a must in my house) and I was already used to and liked them
The answer is wood cutting boards are the best. Not only are many woods antimicrobial, but wood in general has that effect because any bacteria that get into the wood get trapped and dehydrated to death.
I also question the absolute aversion to hand-washing anything, but whatever.
IMPORTANT PSA FROM HANK GREEN: don’t snort drugs
re: cutting boards, Adam Ragusea talked more about this. Commercial kitchens all use plastic because their cutting board MUST be color coded. Basically, its probably not that big of a deal, we worry too much
Yeah, Adam came to the same conclusion: who knows? Also, Adam had compared the quantity of microplastics from cutting boards to everyday life and it's not an unusual amount.
Omg please more of these! This was so great!

This was a really fun format. I very much enjoyed it.
Glad you got to the antimicrobial aspect of wood. As long as you take care of a wood cutting board it's a great choice. Stone/pocelain is a terrible idea for your knives. Another option is a kind of foam they use for cutting boards. These are pretty popular in Japan. But wood is just so much nicer if you can afford a good one -- end grain is likely better for your knives maintaining their edge alignment.
If you don't want to thoroughly clean your cutting board, you can use a separate plastic or foam board specifically for meats. Can also use it for onions because they tend to make your wood cutting board smell like onion, though this is fixable by rubbing an apple or potato on the area.
3:53 is a wild sentence out of context
Such an underrated comment lmao
🤣
My cooking teacher was obsessed with not using wooden cutting boards, wooden spoons, et cetera. We used plastic ones at school and she was also very insistent that we used a different one for different types of food, and also strongly encouraged that we should follow all this at home. I've always thought that seemed seriously excessive. We always use wooden cutting boards at home, but I guess I need to tell my mum not to put them in the dishwasher. I've always thought it didn't seem good for them, as they stay soggy for a while afterwards, but now I can tell her I was right!
13:45 ooh! I can add something to the discussion. Most wooden kitchen utensils are made from beech wood, which is relatively light and abundant. Beech wood does have antimicrobial properties. No idea if they're all made of beech wood, but it's safe to assume most are.
Cutting boards aren't as far as I know.
Many woods are antimicrobial because of chemicals in the wood, but there's a simple effect of dehydration. The microbe-containing fluid that gets into the wood's pores gets absorbed through the wood dehydrating the microbes to death inside the wood itself. The moisture then evaporates into the air.
@@seigeengine I defer to you, I've only sold other wooden kitchen utensils
I have two cutting boards for veggies and fruit and one small wooden cutting board for meat. Works for us!

The burp info is potentially life changing. I had no idea there was a name and a reason for it. Thank you, Hank!
12:38 That's what literally everyone was told about wood cutting boards but apparently that's not true. My mom and I just had this conversation like 5 hours ago (which is weird, Hank stop eavesdropping on us dude!) She was so grumpy about it when she informed me of the updated information hahaha.

after cars were invented, what was the first generation that experienced the frustration of old people driving poorly? that's the question i would have submitted if i could have haha
Like milk...a few days , depending on the season....9 days max
Well the first speeding ticket was pretty early on... 1896, at a whopping 8mph!! 😂 (The speed limit was like 2mph back then... Like you may as well have just walked) 🤣
... No doubt there would be people scared of these new-fangled machines, so slow drivers from the get go too.
I'm sure people were complaining about (old) people driving poorly well before the car was invented.
@@HuntraconyI’m picturing an elderly person who refuses to nudge their cart horse out of a walk on a narrow lane 😂
since the beginning. since driving laws are always changing, the older generations will always have a different standard of following the laws of driving. so the first generation after cars were invented were probably already complaining about people that grew up when driving laws weren't even a thing.
A friend of mine makes wood and leather things, and he makes cutting boards. He just gave me one and told me to get the Cutting Board Oil from big box hardware stores. He said a good wash with soap and water will remove even meat juice from the board, but they do need to be treated occasionally (forgot how often, I'll ask). He also said don't be dumb, cut the veggies first, then the meat. Wooden cutting boards also benefit from a light sanding when they start to look scratched, and then be oil treated. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
When I was a kid there was an asthma medication that came in capsules. You put the capsule in a little turbine then slid a collar down which pierced the capsule then inhaled it.
It was horrible, barely effective at all, made you feel like you were dying, but it was what we had

@@HannahRainbow88 I discovered during the pandemic that having HEPA air filters in my house and wearing an N95 or better mask everywhere outside stopped my asthma dead in it's tracks. I don't even know where inhaler is and I'm sure it's expired.

This is why I love these brothers content they bring to attention things I wouldn't even think to be excited to know about!
I cannot burp deliberately. And only very rarely do I experience air escaping burp style. I had no idea there was not just a name for the condition but also a damn cure! Hank you rock!
HANK!!! I CANT BURP!!! thank you i never knew what was going on!!!
I WAS ALSO ENLIGHTENED TODAY
Anecdotal, but, my redhead self woke from anesthesia. Thankfully, the nerve-block part stuck around. It was near the end of the procedure, I came to as I was having my abdomen stapled and stitched back together. Exceptionally odd sensation to feel, movement and pressure without a tactile feel.
14:09 I'm loving the idea of cutting boards that aren't knife-safe....
As a chronic over analyzer/researcher, thank you for reminding us that we worry too much.
I've always seen the opposite with cutting boards in terms of wood vs plastic. Wood seems to squeeze itself closed to some extent rather than plastic which the more you use develops more grooves and gashes which will not close and harbour more bacteria. I always thought it was the other way round, too, but since hearing that we swapped to wooden boards (olive wood)
I loved this video. Do more of them!
This was one of my favourite YT videos ever, thank you Hank!
spray your wooden cutting board with purell Foodservice Surface Sanitizer or similar and let it set according to instructions. The gallon jug refill is like $10 USD. It is food contact safe once dry. It kills all that bad stuff. Just follow the directions on the bottle.
Botox is life changing, i dont have rcpd but i did have chronic migraines every day for a year. Trialed every pill on the market for it, they all did nothing. I couldnt work for a full year. After getting botox treatments every 3 months (ive had 2 so far) and going to vision therapy cause of post concussion syndrome Ive finally been able to slowly make my way back to working.
Its crazy all the uses they're finding for botox now a days that aren't cosmetic!
I used to work for one of the main major botox producing pharma companies. We were often told at employee town halls that Botox is now prescribed for medical reasons (as opposed to cosmetic) over 60% of the time now (at least as of 2020 when I last worked there). Migraines was one of the major cited uses, along with other pain management and several heart conditions. Turns out that a drug that kills nerves can be very useful when nerves are misbehaving! (Go figure lol)
@Rekeaki Oh wow, that's super interesting! I wouldn't have guessed that. Thanks for giving your insider insight! :D
i recently did a deep dive on this condition, because i have gerd and a hernia so while i can burp (though i kinda gotta burp myself with the hernia a bit, and if my acid reflux gets to bad it does make that muscle a lot harder to relax for burping purposes) and its been really fascinating to learn about. glad to see other people discovering this too!
Considering Hank has cancer which is one of the hardest things for a human to go through. I really appreciate his comment that "We all worry too much". I definitely have worried more the older I've gotten and sometimes the worry is harder than the problems themselves.
I liked this. This was fun!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO FORMAT please do more if you enjoy making them because I enjoyed watching it a lot!
I would watch this as a show for itself. You are essence of UA-cam.
Pill aspiration has been one of my biggest fears since I was young and took my first pills.
Can vouch for that redhead thing personally. I fell asleep getting a knee tattoo, walked around on a broken foot for months before it bothered me enough to ask a doctor about it, thought giving birth was a relatively painless experience, and always have to have a nurse help me pick a number on the pain scale since my scale is very much skewed compared to what doctors are expecting for certain things.
On the other hand, I get a sunburn just from thinking about the fact that the outdoors exists, let alone actually leaving my house. So there's tradeoffs
"A sphincter that sits at the top of the esophagus that can't relax"
Hank has bars!
OMG Please do this more and longer. The whole time I was watching I didn't think about my leukemia for one second. ❤❤❤❤
Hank Green should make a video on the science behind why you shouldn’t do drugs, I feel like it would legitimately help
for anyone wondering: my understanding is you shouldn’t do dr*gs because some dr*gs (agonists) mimic chemicals your brain needs, so you stop producing those chemicals and then when you stop doing the dr*gs, you can’t make those chemicals yourself anymore, which can cause a lot of problems for you. another type of dr*g is antagonists, which block the receptors for brain chemicals, also causing a lot of problems. not to mention that an unusual amount of chemicals in the brain has been linked to diseases like Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis

8:49 you dont know what kind of damage you've done now, I'm 100% buying this for my nephew.
Good for your nephew
Lucky nephew!
answering questions is good for everyone
Love to see so many people learning about r-cpd from this! I remember how exciting it was when we finally learned about it for my partner who has suffered his whole life. Only officially “discovered” in 2019 by Dr. Bastian. Who knows what other conditions will be discovered and studied to help people in our lifetime!
Things I just learned:
1) R-CPD is a thing.
2) Sure seems like I have it. Never have been able to burp and I fart like crazy. It's been something I've had to disclose at some point in every relationship. They don't smell worse than anyone else's, but there's a lot of 'em.
3) THERE'S A TREATMENT FOR THIS!?!?
I'm not joking. This could be life changing for me.
Hank Green we use the same cutting boards! I was going to ask about them, but there they are! They’re made of the same material they make skate park ramps out of, so they will apparently hold up under a lot of stress.
