1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,360 We are going to be talking about stings and bites and all of the ouchy things that come 2 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,160 along with insects. 3 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:31,200 But first I wanted to talk about the difference between a bite and a sting and poison and 4 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:39,920 venom and of course the Schmitt Sting Pain Index which is used pretty often to describe 5 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,200 how painful a bite or a sting is from certain insects. 6 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,320 So Simon, what's the difference between poison and venom? 7 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,440 Well, about horrible. 8 00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:01,240 But venom is generally injective and poison is, let's say when you touch something like 9 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:10,960 a poison dart frog for instance, it's like brought through the skin whereas venom would 10 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:19,760 be a bite or a sting or something that's injected on an apple basis. 11 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,280 That's why I would best describe it. 12 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,880 Yeah, no, you did. 13 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:24,880 That's perfect. 14 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,880 That's perfect. 15 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,960 So venom, like you said, needs to be injected. 16 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,800 So like spider bites, mosquitoes do have a venom. 17 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,160 Oh my gosh, my cat is making so much noise. 18 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,400 I'm sorry. 19 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:46,160 And then poison needs to be ingested or basically eaten. 20 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,420 Okay, so that's good. 21 00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:55,000 And then the difference between bites and stings, which is actually kind of funny because 22 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,400 they are very similar, but typically sting is not within the mouth. 23 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,560 So it's not something that the mouth does, although there are several insects that do 24 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,160 sting with their mouth. 25 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,560 And then the bite is like the initial like... 26 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,560 Okay. 27 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:24,960 Terry has asked, what is the worst bite or sting that you've ever received or got? 28 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,160 I, you know, I've been really fortunate for me. 29 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,880 I've been really fortunate. 30 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:37,800 I haven't been bitten or stung by anything super terribly, but I have gotten stung by 31 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,760 a bee and I guess for me that was like the worst thing because it does burn. 32 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,160 And I got it like right here on my arm. 33 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,160 What about you, Simon? 34 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040 What's the worst thing you've ever been stung or bitten by? 35 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,560 It would have been an assassin bug. 36 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Assassin bug. 37 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:05,120 It's got to be been stung by a scorpion numerous times by scorpions. 38 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:15,000 Assassin bug has got to be the most painful and horrible thing I've ever been bitten slash 39 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,640 stung slash invaded by. 40 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:20,440 Yes, invaded. 41 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,440 Okay. 42 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,440 Good, good. 43 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,440 Yeah. 44 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,360 They, assassin bugs are rated a four on the Schmidt sting pain index. 45 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,160 And so we're going to talk about that as well. 46 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,120 What exactly the Schmidt sting pain index is. 47 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:42,440 It's a measurement of the relative pain that an insect sting or a bite can cause to a human 48 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,720 being. 49 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,160 It ranges from one to four and then there's like points in the middle. 50 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,920 So it's like 1.2, 1.3. 51 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:58,360 And Schmidt was actually, he was obviously a scientist and he basically allowed himself 52 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,520 to be stung by over a thousand different insects. 53 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,000 And then he, yeah, maybe a little crazy, I don't know. 54 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:14,960 But he, and then he would go and rate those stings based on his index there that, you 55 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,920 know, he'd be like, okay, he got stung by like bees and wasps, mosquitoes. 56 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,160 I mean, pretty much anything that can sting, he probably got himself stung by it. 57 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,160 And then he rated things. 58 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:35,440 So as we go through and talk about these different insects and stuff, I will also be including 59 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,520 their rating on the Schmidt pain scale. 60 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,920 If I found it, if I didn't find it, I'm sorry. 61 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,400 I'll rate it myself if I've been stung by it. 62 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:54,560 So yeah, I think the first thing is probably also the most common, which would be mosquitoes. 63 00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,400 And mosquitoes are, I mean, they're prevalent all over the world. 64 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,260 Usually they're found around like standing water. 65 00:05:03,260 --> 00:05:08,280 So like lakes or swamps, ponds, stuff like that. 66 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:15,440 There are like 3,500 species of approximately of mosquitoes. 67 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:25,040 And they're also known to, to spread or transmit serious diseases like yellow fever, Zika fever, 68 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:31,520 malaria and dengue, which I don't really know what dengue. 69 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,520 Sorry? 70 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920 Dengue fever, horrible. 71 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360 Yeah it's awful from what I know. 72 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,360 It's quite common in Africa. 73 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:53,520 It's a very horrible disease that basically causes a fever and makes you ill. 74 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,520 Yeah. 75 00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:01,640 But I'm pretty sure that their sting only scores about one because the symptoms of a 76 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,800 bite or a sting for it is kind of like a bite. 77 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,000 It's, it's, it's a, it's an invasion. 78 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,640 We'll put it in the invasion. 79 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,640 But yeah, they're, they're 80 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,800 I have an idea if you give the three options, because like you say, there is three, isn't 81 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,800 there? 82 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,080 It's like you've got your bites, you've got your stings. 83 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:30,640 And then you've got some that's like in the middle, basically like, like a mixture of, 84 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:38,080 you know, assassin bugs and mosquitoes, mosquitoes, you know, they all, they all inject something 85 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,080 into it. 86 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,920 They all inject venom into it. 87 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,760 So they're both, they are a sting, but they also are a bite because they come from this 88 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,760 end. 89 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,760 Yeah. 90 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,320 And the thing is that they, they plunge into you. 91 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,960 So it gives a lot of people the heebie-jeebies. 92 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,520 So I can understand. 93 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,040 I can totally understand. 94 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,040 But okay. 95 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:08,320 So symptoms from a mosquito invasion is you're going to get some redness around the bite, 96 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,720 swelling, itchiness, obviously. 97 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,200 And then that's about it. 98 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:20,240 Some people do have allergic reactions to that, which can include all sorts of other 99 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:30,000 symptoms like a fever, you know, hives, breaking out in hives, having, having issues like that. 100 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,120 Anaphylaxis is a big deal. 101 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,400 So if you do happen to get anaphylaxis from any of these insects, go to the hospital for 102 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,480 sure and get treated with, with your antihistamines. 103 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,480 Yeah. 104 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,480 Yeah. 105 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,320 It's, it's, anaphylaxis is no fun for sure. 106 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:54,720 A lot of, some people even, they, they feel like they can't breathe. 107 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,120 So they, they have, what did they call that? 108 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,120 Pulmonary distress? 109 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,120 Yes. 110 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,120 It's, it's horrible. 111 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120 I, I've experienced that on many occasions. 112 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,880 My wife has experienced that. 113 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,480 Last time I experienced that, I was at a reggae. 114 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,480 Oh wow. 115 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,600 I can absolutely understand. 116 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,920 I actually blacked out because of the breathing part, where when you panic about your breathing, 117 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080 you tend to hold your breath so you black out. 118 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:31,680 So you can, you know, in which is your body's way of saying, chill out, you know what I mean? 119 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,880 Just, just have a lie down, chill out. 120 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,880 Right. 121 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,880 Calm down. 122 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,520 Yeah, antihistamines, it's, it's really dodgy. 123 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,880 So if you are allergic to anything, make sure that you get to a hospital. 124 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,880 Yes, absolutely. 125 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,880 It's always handy. 126 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,880 So I have, I have antihistamines there on my, on my desk, right to my hand. 127 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:57,680 Because it's always handy because you, especially if you keep things, tropical stuff, it's always 128 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:05,760 handy to have a few different ones hanging around because you never know what your allergic 129 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,760 to. 130 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,720 You might get bitten by a spider that you've kept for years. 131 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,080 You might not know it, but you might be allergic to it. 132 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,880 So it's always good to have them hanging around. 133 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,880 Right, the EpiPen. 134 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,880 They won't do you any harm. 135 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,880 Pop a couple of each. 136 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,880 It's a good thing to do. 137 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,640 It's better to be safe than sorry. 138 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,600 As far as, you know, as far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything. 139 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,960 So again, I'm really fortunate about that, but my mom is allergic to bee stings. 140 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,160 So bees and wasps, if she gets stung, she, she, she can get that anaphylaxis. 141 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,480 So definitely very dangerous for that. 142 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,560 Kerry has a really good question as well. 143 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,240 She says, are bed bugs considered venomous? 144 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,120 No, actually, I don't believe they're, they could be. 145 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,440 They're, it's not, they're not venomous. 146 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,560 They are venomous. 147 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:10,880 They come under a similar, a category as mitra where they, they inject to dissolve what they're 148 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,880 eating. 149 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:12,880 That's true. 150 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,680 So they're similar to mosquitoes. 151 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:24,920 I think they do have like a chemical in their saliva that kind of calms the skin down during 152 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,600 a bite so that you don't really feel it, you know, until later, then it starts to itch. 153 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920 And they are, they are a type of mite. 154 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,920 So yeah. 155 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,120 And that, as we know, mites are arachnids and most arachnids are venomous. 156 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,200 So I would imagine they probably do have a little bit. 157 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,200 I don't know. 158 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,240 I've never even looked into that to be honest. 159 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,240 But I think that might be a pure guess. 160 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,240 Yeah. 161 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,240 I'm going to say that they would inject something, even if it's something like a numbing agent. 162 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,240 Yeah. 163 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240 Because there's a lot of things out there that will inject you with a numbing agent. 164 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,240 So you don't even know they're eating you. 165 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,240 Yeah. 166 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,240 Right. 167 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,240 Headlights. 168 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,240 Yeah. 169 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,240 Headlights are like that. 170 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,240 Yep. 171 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,240 Absolutely. 172 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:22,200 And with bed bugs, they, the way you can tell if it's a bed bug mite is, you know, they 173 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,360 is they will have breakfast, lunch and dinner all in one setting, essentially. 174 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,680 So you'll have more than one bite of the same type of bite. 175 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,040 Usually it's like, like I said, like groupings of three. 176 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,440 So breakfast, lunch and dinner. 177 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,640 But I mean, the outliers are out there, of course, but for, for reference, that's how 178 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,000 you can tell that your bite is a bed bug. 179 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,160 And they are easily killed by a diatomaceous earth. 180 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,800 So if you happen to get a hitchhiker bed bug or something like that, and you want to get 181 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,840 rid of them because trust you probably do. 182 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,760 Diatomaceous earth is a fantastic way because it basically immobilizes them. 183 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,120 It cuts up their little legs and then they can't move and they can't bite. 184 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,340 They can't procreate. 185 00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:14,120 So that's a good, good, good information for everybody. 186 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,880 Mosquitoes are, let's see. 187 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,560 So getting back to mosquitoes. 188 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:24,920 So the treatments that you can use to, for mosquito bites, obviously you can wash with 189 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,360 soap and water. 190 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,400 So washing that area will help to get rid of some of the venom. 191 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,400 You can use an ice pack to reduce the swelling. 192 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:44,240 And then of course, there's a old, kind of an old like holistic way of using baking soda 193 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:50,240 and a little bit of water and making a paste and then placing that over the bites. 194 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,280 And then it says to apply it for about 10 minutes. 195 00:12:53,280 --> 00:13:01,040 And then usually it helps to resolve those symptoms and to ease up that mosquito bite. 196 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:07,320 And then of course, antihistamines like Benadryl, Allegra, Claritin, whatever. 197 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:14,800 And then also applying Aloe Vera on the skin is very helpful for reducing those symptoms. 198 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:24,080 Every time I've been in tropical countries, I always take quinine. 199 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:30,960 Just in case, because of mosquitoes, which repels chances of malaria. 200 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,960 Right. 201 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,960 Well, that's good. 202 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,480 So quinine is like the original medicine for malaria. 203 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,600 Oh, see, I didn't know that. 204 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,600 That's amazing. 205 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:49,040 If you're going to a tropical country to work or to play or whatever, quinine is, quinine 206 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:55,280 tablets are the thing you should be taking about two weeks before you even fly to them 207 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,800 to get them in the distance. 208 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,440 And then it prevents malaria, which is... 209 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,440 Oh, that's cool. 210 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,520 It's very good for people who weigh a lot like how you sit. 211 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,840 Yeah, absolutely. 212 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,360 I think that's fascinating. 213 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,360 I didn't even know that. 214 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,360 They make you sick. 215 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,360 Okay. 216 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:20,360 So if you don't take them, be prepared for a very, very upset tummy, some people, and 217 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,360 they can make you pretty vomiting. 218 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,360 So yeah, that's really good. 219 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,360 It's not nerves. 220 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,360 It's quinine. 221 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,640 It does work against mosquitoes. 222 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,680 Oh, good. 223 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,680 I'm here. 224 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,680 I'm here. 225 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,680 I got bit thousands of times. 226 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,680 Oh, yeah. 227 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,400 No, I do get bit by mosquitoes, but it's pretty rare. 228 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,680 I have a negative blood type, so perhaps that's... 229 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,400 I've got a weird blood type. 230 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,360 So I kind of... 231 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,240 But mosquitoes are interesting because they are attracted. 232 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:04,120 They can basically see or sense carbon dioxide that is exhaled by humans, by other creatures. 233 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,400 And so that's what attracts them. 234 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,880 They're attracted to pheromones and alkaloids within your body and your system. 235 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,440 They can smell that, and that's what brings them to you. 236 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,680 I'm not going to wave a flag here for smoking. 237 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,680 Yeah. 238 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:27,400 But at the time in the 90s when I was a brothel lot, I used to smoke. 239 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,040 And when I smoked, I could tell a cigarette was smoking. 240 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,040 No mosquitoes. 241 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,040 Yeah. 242 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,040 Okay. 243 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,680 So maybe they don't like nicotine. 244 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,680 I don't know. 245 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,680 Maybe. 246 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,680 I don't smoke. 247 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Right. 248 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:46,440 Don't smoke, but maybe mosquitoes don't like it. 249 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,440 Okay. 250 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:54,240 So the next creature, the next insect on my list for bites and symptoms and whatnot are 251 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,200 fire ants. 252 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,800 Fire ants are actually pretty common here in the States, especially in the Southwest 253 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,840 regions. 254 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:11,160 We do get fire ants here in Colorado, and they can be freaking painful. 255 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,280 So there are 200 species of them. 256 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,600 They occur in tropical regions and some temperate regions of North America, as I said. 257 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:28,400 They scale a 1.2 on the Schmidt Sting pain index, which again is kind of fascinating. 258 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:36,680 And the symptoms of a fire ant bite can include severe burning or a fiery sensation, swelling, 259 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,940 redness, and the venom is actually can, it compounds in the body. 260 00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:49,960 So if you get bit once by a fire ant, okay, you're going to feel that burning and itching, 261 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,080 but then if you get bit second and third time, it gets worse. 262 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,840 So the more you get bit by a fire ant, the worse the stinging and the itching is going 263 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,760 to become because it just compounds. 264 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,440 It's a sting. 265 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,440 Uh-huh. 266 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,440 It's a bite. 267 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,440 It's a stinging. 268 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,440 Is it a sting? 269 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,440 Is it? 270 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,440 I'm pretty sure it's a bite. 271 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,080 A fire ant will sting and then sting several times. 272 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:20,400 It will grip onto you with its jaws and then it will use its abdomen and sting you several 273 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,040 times over and over. 274 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,080 Yeah, they're vicious. 275 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,080 Vicious. 276 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,080 Yeah, I think they're evil creatures. 277 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,480 Yeah, no, absolutely. 278 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,080 You know how ant colonies are. 279 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,420 There's millions of them. 280 00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:43,040 So if you're messing with the ants, the fire ant nest or the mound, you're asking for trouble. 281 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,040 Yeah, right. 282 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,280 They're invasive in the USA. 283 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Uh-huh. 284 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:57,480 They actually started off at Blight in Peru and they've moved on through Central America, 285 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,400 through Mexico, into the United States and they're going northwards. 286 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:08,440 I do believe a few years ago we've had a big government operation to try and get rid of 287 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,320 the fire ants from the USA. 288 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,320 That failed miserably. 289 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,320 Yeah, no. 290 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,080 Fire ants are smarter than we are. 291 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,080 So they really are. 292 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,080 They're pretty... 293 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,080 They just moved on. 294 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,080 I did the opposite. 295 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,080 They tried drowning and all sorts of things. 296 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,080 It was quite fascinating. 297 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:30,000 I saw that note so long ago on a documentary on Netflix. 298 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000 That's interesting. 299 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000 That's really interesting. 300 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,720 Oh, Eden Invert says that fire ants bite and sting at the same time. 301 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,480 So they're one of those in the middle. 302 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,480 They're an invasive... 303 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,480 Hold on. 304 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,480 And sting. 305 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,480 Yeah, they're an intruder. 306 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,320 There we go. 307 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,320 So the bite and sting is at the same time. 308 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,320 See? 309 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,320 And that's... 310 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,320 There we go. 311 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,320 Okay, good. 312 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,320 Good to know. 313 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,320 Thank you. 314 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:04,720 Some common treatments, obviously, for fire ant stings is you're going to want to wash 315 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,360 any of the bites or the area with soap and water. 316 00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,640 I always find it's good to take a shower. 317 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:17,320 And then, of course, like a cold compress, so like ice pack or something that you can 318 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,440 like wrap around and kind of apply that pressure. 319 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,160 That's going to help those stings. 320 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,960 Anti-histamine and then hydrocortisone. 321 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,800 So it's a type of cream. 322 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,900 So hydrocortisone is a type of cream that you can apply to bites and stings. 323 00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:41,240 And it actually really helps with the itching and swelling and pain and all that. 324 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,440 So yeah, there's that. 325 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,880 I recommend hydrocortisone. 326 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,640 So pretty much for any bite or sting. 327 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,040 Does zinc and gas fire work? 328 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,520 I mean, we haven't got fire ants, so I just... 329 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,840 Yeah, you guys are lucky. 330 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,720 You don't get fire ants. 331 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,720 They're over here. 332 00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,720 They're in the Western Hemisphere. 333 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,720 Nothing. 334 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:07,360 It's good unless you're like me where you like bugs and then you have to buy them all 335 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:08,360 in from abroad. 336 00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:09,360 But yeah, we don't get anything here. 337 00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,360 But yeah. 338 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:11,360 Yeah, right. 339 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:12,360 If zinc and gas flow, what are you going to call it? 340 00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:13,360 The stuff you put on for napkin rash. 341 00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,360 Yeah. 342 00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:15,360 You know, like the white cream. 343 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,360 I'm just wondering if that would help. 344 00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:28,640 Yeah, it's usually called cortisone here. 345 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,640 You can get it. 346 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,920 Yeah, this cortisone, which is a different cream, if you like. 347 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,920 Right. 348 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,280 Napkin rash cream is generally made of zinc and castor oil. 349 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,280 Yeah, diaper rash. 350 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,280 Yeah. 351 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,280 Yeah, that stuff's good. 352 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,280 Diaper rash, sorry. 353 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,280 I actually broke that down to nappy rash. 354 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,280 I didn't remember that you don't call them nappies. 355 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,280 Yeah, diaper rash. 356 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,280 Right. 357 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,720 It's very similar though. 358 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,000 Diaper rash cream is really similar to cortisone. 359 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,520 So I mean, they're only as far as I know, they're pretty close. 360 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,440 Bugs Galore says pseudo creams. 361 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,440 Pseudo cream? 362 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,440 Yeah. 363 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,440 I've never heard of pseudo cream. 364 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,440 Do you know what that is? 365 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,440 Yeah, if you know what she's talking about more than I do as far as the creams and stuff 366 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,440 are concerned. 367 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,440 There you go. 368 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:27,440 You're talking to a man who with Kitchell really has never changed a nappy. 369 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,440 So thank you. 370 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,440 Wonderful. 371 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:39,880 Okay, so the next thing on my list would be the Africanized honeybees. 372 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:46,960 Here in the States, a lot of people know them as murder hornets and all that fun jazz. 373 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,360 So we call them murder hornets. 374 00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:53,160 I don't know who coined that term, but they're not actually deadly. 375 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,880 They're just Africanized honeybees. 376 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:06,080 So these guys are hybridized bees that actually were created by a lab in an effort to create 377 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:12,800 a bee that was a lot more productive than the normal honeybees. 378 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:19,040 They wanted this honeybee to produce honey at a faster rate than what honeybees actually 379 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,040 do. 380 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:30,840 Instead, they created an incredibly aggressive and violent bee that everybody calls a murder 381 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,520 hornet and they don't actually produce honey any faster than regular honeybees. 382 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:45,640 So again, one of those wonderful examples of a manmade creature that it didn't do what 383 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,700 we wanted it to do. 384 00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:54,360 But the stings are no more painful than like a European honeybee. 385 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:57,080 So it's not as bad. 386 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,840 I mean, obviously the sting is going to be painful because you're going to get that redness, 387 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:07,680 the itchy, the swelling, probably a little burning on the Schmidt pain scale. 388 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,280 It's a 2.0. 389 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,840 So it's kind of in the middle. 390 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,560 It's definitely a sting that you're going to know. 391 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,740 But the problem with them, the reason that we call them murder hornets is because they 392 00:23:19,740 --> 00:23:23,460 are actually prone to sting with a lot less provocation. 393 00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:29,640 So you could be within the general area of this Africanized honeybee and it'll just sting 394 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,680 you because you're in its area. 395 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,880 So they can be very aggressive. 396 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,840 And of course, if you mess with the hive, you're going to get the entire clan of them. 397 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,600 And that's when it can become very deadly for people. 398 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:53,440 And especially if you have any kind of allergies to bees or wasps or anything, then the more 399 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:59,000 or more stings you get from an Africanized honeybee, the worse it's going to be for you. 400 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,320 So definitely seek out medical treatment and the hospital if you are allergic to this, 401 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,640 to any kind of bees. 402 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,800 Because again, anaphylaxis is no joke. 403 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:17,480 Treatment obviously for a sting from Africanized honeybee is going to be washing with soap 404 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:24,200 and water, which I can say is kind of a treatment for every little sting and bite. 405 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,340 And then you're going to want to do like a cold compress. 406 00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:34,760 So like ice pack, some anti-histamine, anti-inflammatories, and hydrocortisone. 407 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:41,440 But I just I wanted to really emphasize that these guys are not deadly to normal people 408 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,960 who aren't allergic. 409 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,200 And they are a 2.0. 410 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:51,080 I mean, I would say that's pretty normal for a bee or a wasp sting. 411 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,080 They're painful. 412 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,920 I think there are movie scripts waiting to happen. 413 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:02,560 I mean, we took this bee and this bee and put them in a lab to produce another bee. 414 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,920 And now they took over and everyone calls them murderites. 415 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,920 That's just a film script. 416 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,280 That's just a film script. 417 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,160 It's nothing more than that. 418 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:18,800 But I think one of the other things you got to touch on by mentioning those and the way 419 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:26,000 people perceive them is pretty much the way people perceive most books. 420 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,080 It's like, is that going to bite me? 421 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,080 Is it going to sting me? 422 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Is it going to kill me? 423 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,080 People think they're a lot worse than they actually are. 424 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,080 Yeah. 425 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,080 In most cases. 426 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,280 And it's only because of the lack of education. 427 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:43,840 I mean, you don't expect everybody to know every single book and every single thing that's 428 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,160 going to happen to you and if it bites you. 429 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:53,080 But even common things, I've seen people not know if they can bite or sting. 430 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,080 Yeah, absolutely. 431 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,480 You're going to die if a black widow bites you, for instance. 432 00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,480 No. 433 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,480 That's a cotton one. 434 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:08,200 Which, you know, unless you're very unlucky and you are allergic to it, you're not going 435 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,160 to die because of that. 436 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,160 Right. 437 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,440 A giant will bite you unless you're allergic. 438 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,400 Must date this. 439 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,640 Unless you're allergic, everything. 440 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,640 Yeah. 441 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,480 But most things will not kill you. 442 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,520 No, I agree. 443 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,440 Most things are not going to kill you for sure. 444 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,440 They are. 445 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,440 Some things will bloody hurt. 446 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,440 Oh, yeah. 447 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,440 You're in a topic. 448 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:41,960 You know, that's basically it, you know, if you can handle a bit of ices, then you can 449 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,960 handle the critter. 450 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,960 Let's see. 451 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,160 Go on, you have a quick look. 452 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:56,640 Most things won't bite and sting you unless you are a perpetrator. 453 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,640 Right. 454 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,640 You're going to be poking it. 455 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,640 Right. 456 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,800 You're not going to come out and bite, to sting you or feed off you unless you're poking 457 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,800 at it, apart from mosquitoes because they're a square. 458 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,800 Yeah, exactly. 459 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,800 Yeah, 100%. 460 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:20,440 Seriously, most of these creatures, they don't want anything to do with you except for mosquitoes. 461 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,920 They are happy to bite. 462 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,440 Horrible things. 463 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:33,640 Carrie says Africanized honeybees are like a flying pit bull with territory issues. 464 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,440 I love that. 465 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,960 That's an awesome comment, Carrie. 466 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,960 Thank you for that. 467 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,960 Very funny. 468 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,960 She's right. 469 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,960 But I've only seen documentaries, et cetera, and read a couple of papers. 470 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:51,520 But, you know, so I don't, I've not seen one from experience. 471 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,520 So, it's been a experience, until you actually see something with your own eyes, you can't 472 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,240 emphasize how big it is or how creepy it is or whatever. 473 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,920 You know, because filmmakers put creepy things in on purpose. 474 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,880 You know, they'll do it, I'll say, oh, that's creepy, we'll keep that. 475 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,800 But they won't show it just angling around doing its normal thing. 476 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,800 Right. 477 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:18,800 Yeah, no. 478 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,720 It's, you know, the media really kind of hypes everything up, makes them a lot more fearful 479 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,920 than they actually are. 480 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,080 So that's, I don't know, I guess that's that culture. 481 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,720 You know, that's the fear culture, I guess you could say. 482 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,720 Okay. 483 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,000 So the next thing I've got on my list is botflies. 484 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Botflies, they're also known as what? 485 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000 What are they also known? 486 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:52,960 I should have wrote it down, but these are flies that essentially when they lay their 487 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:58,520 larvae, they lay them inside of an animal skin. 488 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:04,800 So typically animals get botflies, but there are a couple of species that will infect a 489 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,960 human being. 490 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:14,400 So essentially what they are, they are actually the larvae of a chunky bee-like fly with rounded 491 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,880 head and like a rounded body. 492 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,520 So they look really, really chunky. 493 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:28,680 And the larvae are basically short pudgy segmented grubs that, you know, they live inside the 494 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,940 flesh. 495 00:29:29,940 --> 00:29:34,800 So what they do is they'll like burrow in, they've got hooks and all kinds of gross things 496 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:42,440 that allow them to basically move inside the flesh of an animal or some people. 497 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,380 There are about 40 species of botfly. 498 00:29:46,380 --> 00:29:52,160 And so the symptoms, I mean, you're going to get a welt, like a pretty decent size welt. 499 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:58,320 There's probably going to be some itching, a bit of swelling, redness, all these things. 500 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,600 And then the treatment is occlusion. 501 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:08,600 What that means is you're going to basically suffocate the creature out of your skin or 502 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,920 out of your animal skin. 503 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:15,040 So occlusion, you're going to put like over the lesion, you're going to put a substance 504 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:24,040 like petroleum jelly, which we call Vaseline, bacon fat, beeswax, heavy oil, glue, nail 505 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,620 polish or chewing gum. 506 00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:31,320 And then you basically put that over the lesion. 507 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,760 And then for several hours, you're going to leave that there and wait for the larvae to 508 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,340 basically migrate to the surface. 509 00:30:39,340 --> 00:30:47,200 And then once it does, it can be removed with tweezers or forceps or anything like that. 510 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,160 So it is something that you can do at home, but a lot of people would prefer to go to 511 00:30:52,160 --> 00:31:00,280 the doctor to actually have it removed because it can be a very intrusive operation. 512 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,800 A lot of people are kind of squeamish. 513 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,320 They don't want to, you know what I mean? 514 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,320 I get that. 515 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,960 Like this is something that makes me kind of squeamish. 516 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,120 I don't want to bot fly in my body. 517 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,120 Ugh. 518 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:17,800 I'll tell you what, if you're not squeamish, you can actually search for bot fly removal 519 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,840 on YouTube and find videos of it. 520 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,080 Yeah, absolutely. 521 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:30,200 And then pulling the larvae out of people's foreheads and other places. 522 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,160 It's like those pimple popping videos. 523 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,160 Oh God. 524 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,320 It is right. 525 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,840 But for some reason they're very satisfying. 526 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,960 So I don't know. 527 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,640 It's kind of a thing. 528 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,640 But yeah, bot flies, you can definitely watch videos on how to remove them and everything 529 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,000 like that. 530 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,420 The treatment is going to be the same for animals. 531 00:31:54,420 --> 00:31:58,960 It's basically that occlusion and you wait for the larvae to surface, you'll see the 532 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,800 welts get a little larger. 533 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:07,000 And then at that point you can just squeeze them out or tweeze them out, you know, that 534 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,640 kind of thing. 535 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,680 It sounds a lot more painful than it probably is. 536 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:18,640 And this is one that I didn't find the Schmidt pain scale for these guys. 537 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:24,500 I would assume that like while they're in your flesh, it's not quite as painful because 538 00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:30,360 they probably exude some kind of toxin or something that makes your skin and makes your 539 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,940 body like not notice. 540 00:32:33,940 --> 00:32:34,940 So I don't know. 541 00:32:34,940 --> 00:32:35,940 I wouldn't know. 542 00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:43,080 But yeah, they're so it's a big thing right now in California that bot flies are a problem. 543 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:49,880 So I wanted to include them because just because of that, I was hoping to help some of my friends 544 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,880 in California. 545 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,560 Who knows? 546 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,800 So the next next thing I've got are centipedes. 547 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,120 They're sting they're actually again, they're kind of in that middle range. 548 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,540 They're a venomous creature, but they have to bite you. 549 00:33:05,540 --> 00:33:09,760 So it's like a bite and a sting all in one. 550 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,720 And it can be very painful. 551 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:17,820 And the larger the centipede, the more painful the bite or sting is going to be. 552 00:33:17,820 --> 00:33:19,420 But they are rarely deadly. 553 00:33:19,420 --> 00:33:21,920 So usually they're not deadly at all. 554 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:28,720 So again, back to being allergic really. 555 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:36,920 And quite fascinating creature the way they like the front pair of legs over time turn 556 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:47,040 into what's called a toxicocna, which is how it bites you, which is the I think everybody 557 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,760 calls them pincers, don't they really? 558 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,920 The part that injects the venom. 559 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,920 Yeah, it's. 560 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,920 Most people call them pincers. 561 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,520 St. Jarlsbury's actually called it toxicocna. 562 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,520 Right there. 563 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:06,760 They're very similar to true spiders because they're they're things essentially are like 564 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,760 side to side. 565 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,320 So they they're pinchers. 566 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,320 Yeah. 567 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,120 Rather than, you know, fangs. 568 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,280 Okay, so let's see. 569 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:23,520 They actually some of some centipedes can produce a toxin like variety of toxins like 570 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:32,800 histamine, serotonin, cardio depressing toxin S, which I didn't look that up, but I'm absolutely 571 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:38,960 certain that that means that it's going to slow your heart rate down a bit. 572 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,680 And they can produce some serious health problems for people who are allergic to wasp and bee 573 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,680 stings. 574 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,960 Again, there's that allergy. 575 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,720 So if you know that you have those kinds of allergies, then and you do happen to get bit 576 00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:58,440 or stung by, you know, a centipede, definitely go seek treatment at the hospital. 577 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,400 And the symptoms from these guys is to puncture wounds. 578 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,700 So you're going to see those puncture wounds, redness, swelling. 579 00:35:05,700 --> 00:35:11,680 And then, of course, treatment for this is applying heat or because hot water, because 580 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,140 that will dilute the venom. 581 00:35:14,140 --> 00:35:19,280 Ice packs for swelling, anti histamines, anti inflammatory. 582 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,040 And again, of course, cortisone or that hydro cortisone, that's really going to help as 583 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,720 well. 584 00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,080 And puncture wounds. 585 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:31,460 So this is something that I promised in the description that I would help people understand 586 00:35:31,460 --> 00:35:37,360 how to treat puncture wounds because, yeah, puncture wounds are actually kind of difficult 587 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:46,440 to treat because they have a tendency to get infected a lot easier than other wounds. 588 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:53,320 So how you treat a puncture wound is if there's something inside of the puncture wound, you 589 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,960 want to get that out. 590 00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:00,240 Obviously, you know, just remove that from the skin or wherever the wound is. 591 00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:04,340 And then you're going to flush the wound with water, lots and lots of water. 592 00:36:04,340 --> 00:36:05,840 You can use saline. 593 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,840 You can use water. 594 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,040 You can use hydrogen peroxide. 595 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:17,240 That's a really good one to use because that also will sterilize any of that infectious, 596 00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:21,680 you know, bacteria or anything like that that could be inside the puncture wound. 597 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,920 But you want to flush it, flush it, flush it, flush it. 598 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,360 When you think that you're done flushing, probably not flush it again. 599 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:38,360 And what I mean by flushing is you're essentially going to squirt or you want to squirt as hard 600 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:43,640 as you can, like a lot of pressure with that liquid into the wound, like directly into 601 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,640 the wound, flush it out. 602 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:53,040 And then once you're done doing that, you want to make sure that it stays dry and clean. 603 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,520 Bandages usually helpful, but bandages can also cause some of that moisture and stuff 604 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,000 to remain there. 605 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,720 And that's what you don't want because it can create more infection. 606 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:08,680 So basically that's how you treat a puncture wound. 607 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,080 So you just flush it out real good, keep it dry and clean. 608 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,680 That's it. 609 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:19,740 It sounds a lot harder than it probably is, but flushing is probably the hardest part. 610 00:37:19,740 --> 00:37:21,960 So yeah, that's how you treat puncture wounds. 611 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:22,960 What do you think Simon? 612 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,440 Did I nail it? 613 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,440 Did I get it? 614 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:26,440 Yeah, I think so. 615 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,400 I mean, it's like, even else is there. 616 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,800 A puncture wound is a cut, isn't it? 617 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:43,600 No, it's a cut that could be easily infected if something like a sting, for instance, like 618 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,080 a bee or a wasp sting could be. 619 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,000 Well, a bee can definitely leave it behind. 620 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,400 And that can get infected. 621 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:58,800 I think the closest I can think of to that is probably a splinter. 622 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,560 Yeah, absolutely. 623 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:06,080 Where the flesh around the foreign object gets infected. 624 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,080 Yeah, yes. 625 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:12,440 So it would be treated the same way, really. 626 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,440 Absolutely. 627 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,440 Carrie wants to know if we can ice it, if they swell. 628 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,440 Absolutely. 629 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:23,080 You can definitely put ice on it if it swells, because it is probably going to swell. 630 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:30,160 Puncture wounds are not the most fun of wounds. 631 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:37,640 So any kind of intrusive thing in your skin is most likely going to swell. 632 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:43,720 So that's just your body's way of saying, hey, something's wrong over here. 633 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:51,840 You can use neoproxen or maybe IQ-prevent, which are anti-inflammatories. 634 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080 They should both do the trick. 635 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,080 Yeah, absolutely. 636 00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,080 Neuro-prevent, as well as some of the... 637 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,920 Sorry, my cats are so silly. 638 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,040 Sorry? 639 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,960 My cats are making so much noise. 640 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,920 I am so sorry I was just distracted. 641 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:16,400 I've got a mantis here next to me on the front, and it keeps turning down on me, and it looks 642 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,400 like it's going to fly in my face. 643 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,400 So I keep having to pick him up. 644 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,400 It's another feeling. 645 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,400 No worries. 646 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,400 He's not crazy, though, at least. 647 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,400 He's not known to be. 648 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,400 He's just threatening. 649 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,400 All right. 650 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:36,320 So the next and last thing on my list, other than most painful stings in the world, I'm 651 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,280 going to talk about brown recluse. 652 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:45,680 So brown recluse spiders, they're very common here in the United States. 653 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:51,760 This is probably the one bite that is probably the worst bite that you could possibly get 654 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,600 here in the States. 655 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,960 A lot of people think that it's the black widow, but these guys are far worse because 656 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,840 of the nature of their venom. 657 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,840 They are a necrotoxic venom. 658 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:10,840 So what that means is...okay, so let me paraphrase this. 659 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,760 Essentially there are two types of venom. 660 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:18,920 So you've got the first type, which is the neurotoxic, which is going to affect things 661 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,120 like the nervous system. 662 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,680 So that's going to affect your heart rate, your breathing, what you're feeling, paralytics, 663 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,520 that kind of thing. 664 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,960 The other type of venom is going to be your necrotoxin, which is what the brown recluse 665 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,040 has. 666 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:42,680 So basically what that means is anything, any living cell that this toxin touches, it's 667 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,600 going to kill it. 668 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,240 So it's a necrotoxin. 669 00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:53,800 And this necroneurotoxin, that also applies to rattlesnakes or venomous snakes. 670 00:40:53,800 --> 00:41:02,080 So there are some snakes that if they bite you, you're going to see the flesh and the 671 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,400 living cells and organisms in that area is going to start to die. 672 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:15,020 And that's why they actually require medical attention pretty quickly so that we can flush 673 00:41:15,020 --> 00:41:19,680 all that out and keep it from killing too many of the cells because people have lost 674 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:28,000 limbs like legs, feet, fingers, toes, stuff like that from these kinds of bites. 675 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,720 So a brown recluse, there are 11 species of brown recluse in the United States. 676 00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:42,400 They're established in 16 states, which are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, 677 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:49,600 Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, 678 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:50,900 and Texas. 679 00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:56,460 So if you live in any of those states, you probably have seen some brown recluse. 680 00:41:56,460 --> 00:42:01,680 So the symptoms of a brown recluse bite is going to be reddened skin. 681 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,480 Obviously around the bite, you're probably going to have those puncture wounds, although 682 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,760 it is a pretty small spider, so I doubt you would really see it. 683 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,040 The skin can blister. 684 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:15,840 It also can turn a deep blue or purple color and even black. 685 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:21,160 If it's black, purple, definitely go seek medical treatment because a recluse bite is 686 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,160 not anything you want to mess with. 687 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:31,720 There's going to be some mild to intense pain and itching, and it can actually last for 688 00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:34,120 two to eight hours. 689 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:39,880 If you get fever, chills, headache, body aches, nausea, any of those things, then that's probably 690 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,320 an allergic reaction. 691 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:46,000 Again, go seek that medical treatment. 692 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,200 But if it's a relatively small bite and it's not quite as serious, you can wash the area 693 00:42:51,200 --> 00:43:07,960 with soap and water using tetanus prophylaxis and then anti-histamines, anti-things like 694 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,280 that, but this is a pretty serious bite. 695 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:20,000 Like I said, with that neurotoxin or that necrotoxin, it is going to kill any of the living cells 696 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,320 around the bite. 697 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:27,720 So if you get a pretty decent bite and envenomated pretty deeply, it's definitely a bite you 698 00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:30,920 want to go to the hospital to get treated for. 699 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:37,560 I've known people who got bit by a brown recluse and they have lost chunks of their leg. 700 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:44,200 They've got this scar that's just like, oh yeah, that's when I got bit by a brown recluse. 701 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,040 I just wanted to dispel that. 702 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,920 Everybody thinks that the black widow is worse, but no. 703 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:51,920 It's the recluse. 704 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,800 I'm not saying that they're... 705 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,760 I'm sorry. 706 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,000 We don't have either. 707 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,160 Yeah, you don't even have them. 708 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,720 Yeah, sorry. 709 00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:12,560 But yeah, I mean, I don't want to fear monger about this spider because they serve a purpose. 710 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:17,480 They obviously take care of pests and other insects and things like that. 711 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,340 But if you do happen to get bit by a recluse, it's not a fun bite. 712 00:44:22,340 --> 00:44:23,340 It really is not. 713 00:44:23,340 --> 00:44:27,400 The reason they're called the recluse is because you rarely see them, isn't it? 714 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:35,160 They are in places like in little holes and garages and cells or basements, as you would 715 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:40,640 say, and places where there's not going to be one running across your tabletop and in 716 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,640 the kitchen. 717 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:52,760 They are in secluded places that you can expect spiders to be. 718 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:53,760 They're very shy. 719 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:54,760 Very, very shy. 720 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,040 Well, recluse, if you could even say. 721 00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,040 Right. 722 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,560 I mean, the last thing they want to do is bite you anyway. 723 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:10,040 So I mean, you really have to make the recluse pretty upset or defensive for it to bite you. 724 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:15,960 I actually, I don't usually do this, but I will promote one thing and that would be tarantula 725 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,180 cat. 726 00:45:17,180 --> 00:45:20,480 She has one as a pet. 727 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:26,200 She does keep a brown recluse as a pet because she found it somewhere in her house. 728 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:31,680 And then she just was like, I want to keep you and film you and check it all out. 729 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:37,360 But the cool thing about her video on it is that she is basically dispelling the rumors 730 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,400 that spiders just want to bite you for no apparent reason. 731 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,720 She basically caught this creature and then made an enclosure for it and then boom, put 732 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:48,120 it in the enclosure. 733 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,000 And as much as she was messing with it, it was running from her. 734 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,360 It was calm. 735 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,500 You know, it didn't want to mess with her, you know? 736 00:45:56,500 --> 00:46:02,000 So I just want to put that out there that this is not a spider that is aggressive. 737 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,360 It won't bite you just out of nowhere. 738 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,120 It's a very docile species. 739 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,120 Same with the black widow. 740 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,780 They're very docile. 741 00:46:10,780 --> 00:46:13,360 They're not, you know, they're not aggressive. 742 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,320 They're not just going to bite you for no reason. 743 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,400 So yeah, just, you know, they are. 744 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,660 It is a dangerous bite. 745 00:46:21,660 --> 00:46:23,320 It can be very painful. 746 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,680 You definitely are going to need to seek medical attention. 747 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,680 But if you get bit, most likely it's, you know, that you almost squished it. 748 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,680 You know, it's a defensive maneuver, you know? 749 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,160 So yeah, there it is. 750 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:47,000 And then the last thing I've got is the most painful stings or bites in the world. 751 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,320 And this is according to a lot of these are actually according to the Schmidt, you know, 752 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,120 pain index. 753 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,640 So the first one we've got is the bullet ant. 754 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:03,280 These guys, the bullet ants, I believe are native to like tropical regions. 755 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,560 And they definitely score a four on the Schmidt pain index. 756 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,600 The next one we've got a warrior wasp. 757 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,680 It's again, it's a four on the Schmidt index. 758 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,040 They're native to tropical forests of the Americas. 759 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,920 So you know, central and South America. 760 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:25,840 Orange spider wasp in Australia is a four on the pain index. 761 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:32,860 These guys actually hunt the giant huntsman spider that is native to Australia. 762 00:47:32,860 --> 00:47:33,960 So it's a wasp. 763 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,600 It's similar to like the tarantula hawk here. 764 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,040 And that also is one that was the most painful sting. 765 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:46,120 So the tarantula hawks here in the States, if you get stung by one of those guys, it's 766 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,960 a four on the Schmidt pain index. 767 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:56,440 And then the last one is going to be the horrid assassin bug, which is a four on that pain 768 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,000 index. 769 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,920 They are native to the West African tropicals. 770 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,400 Yeah. 771 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:12,720 So you have firsthand experience of being stung or bit, you know, invaded by an assassin 772 00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:13,720 bug. 773 00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:14,720 I felt dirty afterwards. 774 00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:15,720 It felt awful. 775 00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:16,720 Yeah. 776 00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:17,720 Yeah. 777 00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:18,720 It's several times. 778 00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:19,720 Yes. 779 00:48:19,720 --> 00:48:20,720 Oof. 780 00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:22,720 It's pretty. 781 00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:24,420 So would you say that it's a four? 782 00:48:24,420 --> 00:48:25,420 Is that accurate? 783 00:48:25,420 --> 00:48:33,120 And that's Tessarrest, but unfortunately I'm not mad enough to do that. 784 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:38,280 I believe in and not play with other things. 785 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,960 The thing with the assassin bugs is I actually sell assassin bugs. 786 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:49,800 So getting bit is one of those things because they generally hide on the back. 787 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,200 So when you put your hand in, you pick the back up. 788 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,280 If you put your finger on one, you're getting it. 789 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:57,280 You know, that's it. 790 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,280 Yeah. 791 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,280 It's going to go after anything that moves. 792 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,880 I mean, you know what I mean? 793 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:04,880 They're predators. 794 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:05,880 This little finger moving. 795 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:10,000 So to them, you're a bug that's moving and they want the lunch. 796 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000 So it's your fault. 797 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:20,200 But yeah, a few times now and it's not a pleasant feeling. 798 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:21,200 No. 799 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,000 It's very pleasant. 800 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,000 And it does well. 801 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:29,480 And it makes you feel dodgy for quite a few hours. 802 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,480 So feel a bit. 803 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,480 Don't do it. 804 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,480 Don't do it. 805 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:36,480 Don't do it. 806 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:37,480 Don't do it. 807 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:38,480 Don't do it. 808 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,480 Don't do it. 809 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,480 Yeah, don't do it. 810 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,520 It's very painful. 811 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:48,240 So that's what I've got for stings and bites. 812 00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:51,680 A lot of antihistamine. 813 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,600 And a lot of the symptoms are the same. 814 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,980 You know, that redness, swelling, itching. 815 00:49:57,980 --> 00:50:03,200 If you do get that anaphylaxis, that is definitely something that happens. 816 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,940 Again, you know, seek medical treatment. 817 00:50:06,940 --> 00:50:08,800 Go to the hospital. 818 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,920 Don't dilly-dally with that because it's very dangerous. 819 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,960 Otherwise, that's it. 820 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:14,960 Yeah. 821 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:15,960 Bites. 822 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:22,160 Also, if you've got underlying health conditions, it's a good idea. 823 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,160 Oh, yeah, that too. 824 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,160 Even if something happens, it's a good idea. 825 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,560 Like if you've got heart problems, for instance, or kidney or liver, and you get bitten or 826 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,480 stung by something, it's always a good idea. 827 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,720 Just go to the hospital and explain the situation. 828 00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:43,920 Nine times out of ten, it won't be anything. 829 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,400 It's better to be safe than sorry. 830 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:51,080 Yeah, as you said earlier, some bites speed up your heart, and some people do not want 831 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,080 that to happen. 832 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,080 Right. 833 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,160 So, stop your kidneys functioning properly or your liver. 834 00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:02,800 And if it's already not functioning properly, it's a good idea to get yourself down to A&E 835 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,800 or accident and emergency. 836 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:06,800 Absolutely. 837 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:11,120 That's what you call it the emergency room ER, don't you? 838 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,760 Yeah, we got the ER. 839 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:14,760 Explain the situation. 840 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:20,480 And if you can, explain what has bitten you exactly. 841 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,480 Right. 842 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:26,360 And usually it is very helpful if you know exactly what bit you or stung you. 843 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,640 Sometimes you don't know these things. 844 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:37,160 So I mean, that's a whole other topic of how to tell what you've been bitten by. 845 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:44,960 But usually, like with bees or wasps and stuff, usually they die within a few minutes of stinging 846 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:45,960 somebody. 847 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,800 So that one's, you'll probably find it. 848 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:55,400 But as far as spiders, spider bites and stuff, they'll bite and run. 849 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,320 So you might not know what bit you. 850 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,280 And same thing, same with like... 851 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:02,280 Always works. 852 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:03,280 Yeah, right? 853 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,280 Always works. 854 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:05,280 Always. 855 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:06,280 Mean. 856 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,280 They're not that tough. 857 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,280 They're not that tough. 858 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:09,280 Yeah. 859 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:10,280 Give them that and a shovel. 860 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,280 You're all right. 861 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,280 Then take it with you. 862 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,280 If you can, just take it with you. 863 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:14,280 Put it in a little plastic bag, take it with you. 864 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:24,880 If you can't identify yourself, you know, and don't trust Google. 865 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,160 Yeah, yeah. 866 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,720 Do not choose Google ever to ID anything for you. 867 00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:30,720 Right. 868 00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:35,680 You need somebody who knows what they're looking at to tell you what it is, not Google. 869 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:36,680 Yeah. 870 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:37,680 Google will get it. 871 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:38,680 Okay. 872 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,200 It's not a fact if you see on Google. 873 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:47,880 Yeah, because usually, you know, they can kind of form a treatment plan for you around 874 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,040 like what bit you or stung you or whatever. 875 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,640 So usually it's, you know, it's helpful, but it's not always necessary. 876 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:55,640 All right. 877 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,200 Well, let's do a shameless plug. 878 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:04,080 It's you know, what do you got going on this week? 879 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,600 I've got a repot this. 880 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,140 Oh cool. 881 00:53:08,140 --> 00:53:10,960 This was a birthday present from Boogs Galoa. 882 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:17,200 I've got to repot this because this dentist seems to have taken a liking to it. 883 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,320 So he's going to get this this week. 884 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,320 Very nice. 885 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:28,440 And then just sorting things out because there's a show coming up on August the 3rd in Bristol, 886 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:29,440 UK. 887 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:30,440 Awesome. 888 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,320 So got to sort some things out for that. 889 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,400 And the usual shots open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 890 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,400 So there you go. 891 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,400 And I will make some videos. 892 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,200 I'm going to make a video on cockroaches. 893
