As I child I played in the mud, ate dirt, scratched my knees, got stung by all bug that could stung me (luckily no Black widows included there, but a couple of scorpions). So I had an interesting Inmune system training.

So basically.. you were Coyote Peterson. He literally has been stung by every bug he found interesting enough to do a video on, and he put a black widow on his hand, but didn't let it bite him
Thanks for collaborating with us Anna!!!

Clean My Space. Two of my favorite channels mashed up. Who knew!
Started seeing someone with small children. For the first few months I was constantly getting sick...now we're almost a year in and I'm able to handle the new germs.
OCD hand washer checking in!!! Trust me, you're better off NOT washing 100 times a day... The rashes on my hands never go away.
I feel so gross because I have tactile defensiveness and washing my hands causes excruciating pain in my hands for at least the next hour and a half. I usually only rinse my hands and then use hand sanitizer. But I never really get sick, I usually get the cold during cold season but I only have it for like a day. Maybe being non hygienic has actually helped me? 😂

**is in 2020 where coronavirus is spreading quick** Yes.... yes you should
as a kid, I would purposely not wash my hands properly behind my parent's back because I believed that it would help me. I wasn't told this, just believed it. And, look now, society's actually catching up with my childhood thoughts. weird.
Sheesh where have you been Anna, we missed your videos and that infectious smile. Keep up the great videos.
For targeted hygiene, clean the things that get touched with your hands all the time. Light switches, door handles, microwave buttons XD

Yes! C diff can be prevented in most cases by washing hands.
I was waiting for a new Gross Science Video. Thanks Anna!
My ex was a microbe. I washed my hands of her but it cost me a fortune.
are those blue tampons in the background or blue microbes?
in regards to these old friends microbes and the scary future the phrase with friends like these you needs enemies
The microbes look like spikey tampons. OUCH!
is their a difference with microbes on people with different Melanin levels or skin conditions

A peck of dirt folks.. Our immune systems are becoming so compromised leading to a rise in diseases like Crohns, Asthma, etc.. I suffer with Crohns/Colitis which are severe and devastating. .
that might be true, i see that western is more likely hygiene, and they are like having so. many types of allergic, like peanut blabla... i live in Indonesia, and never found anyone that having severe allergic.. maybe just like coughing or sneeze when there is a lot of dust
I'm glad that they are asking these questions. After all, I was never really satisfied with the idea of leaving our hands dirty, and never satisfied with trying to be always clean.
i like watching these videos early in the morning so theres more time to freak out
mehhh....I don't know why im still awake at 2:00am
As we fight COVID-19 washing hands is one of the targets we need to have. Targeting our hands right now are a priority we need to focus on.
So we basically have billions of tiny little tampons on our skin and everywhere all around us, great.
is this the first episode of series 3
0:45 GO DUCKS!
amazing the man some where in Iran had not been showered or wash hands for so many years I believe over 40 years it's show the body could handle to defend it celles
is pcos curable Anna? I Am soo depressed :(
2:03 totally agree
great episode! love the animation
Awesome! Keep it up!

During this, I thought of how cowpox stopped smallpox. Why? Why did I think that?
Can youdo a video about what asthma is
YAY!! New video!!
We should use phages included soap, because phages only target one specific bacteria, we minght be able to extract phages from the enviroment (which target harmfull bacteria and extract it to our soap)
@pure_awesomensspbandj4895

That wouldn't work. Bacteriophages take a significant amount of time to actually successfully kill a bacterium. You'd need to leave the soap on for hours for it to work. Besides, there are millions of different species of bacteria that cause harm to humans, so there would have to be millions of different species of phages included. Soap works better as it is.
video không có vietsub à
are you going to do a video on how your stomach looks when you throw up??
Can you do a video on puberty and hormones
I follow the #nofriendshypothesis. As long as I don't interact with anyone, I can't catch their microbes!
also I love it when you say your full name. don't take that away from me, it's one of my last little pleasures that make my life happy.

that's the reason I don't take showers

i will watch my hands with water only
Not being on top of hand washing is all fine and dandy, until you're a healthcare provider and spread VRE, MRSA, and C. Diff to the whole unit.
Yeah well how did Covid affect this video? I have asthma (mature onset) but was a grubby little tyke who grew up amongs horses and dogs and other farm animals in the sixties. They say we consume a ton of sh... in our lives and I dont ever remember a screaming desire to wash my hands as a kid so I think, all in all asthma aside, I have a really healthy, super well primed immune response. I did grow up during a typhoid outbreak in Aberdeen before moving to the country. I can remember the hand washing being super important then, but once I was out in the country I washed about as often as my horses did lol! Also is there a reason for the tampons?
The answer is: *We don't know, let's create a General Self-Seeding AI to fix everything!!!* ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
So it's no longer considered rude if I shake hands with the same one I used to hold the o'l snake? "Can't get mad, I'm making you healthy".
1:46 tampon?
And here I thought I didn't have any friends!

+Chloe Koda Thank you, Chloe!
I always thought that the hygiene hypothesis was more refering to worm infections rather than 'friendly bacteria'. If you look at a map where allergies are common and where worm infections are the most prevalent, you will see that there is very few overlapp. Since worm infections elicit mostly a Th2 immune response (the same as allergy) rather than a Th1 (viruses and bacteria), it would make more sense that it's the disappearance of parasitic worms like intestinal nematodes that caused an immune inbalance resulting in the immune system reacting to innoffensive epitope resulting in allergy. You should do an episode on parasitic worms!! They are really gross!
The answer is YES -By: 2020
I freaking love her ew at the end
I always wash my feets, I think my feets is cleaner then my hands.
Thing that scares me in this area of science is how fast that diseases can be transmitted over the whole planet, before local biosphere can produce natural predators. Invasive species reference point.
No we should have desanitizing stations to strengthen our immune system, Jim
0:42 why did the background look like blue tampons 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ITT: Let's all talk about tampons.
Yes
You're so much fun you should be illegal!
I wash my hands when they are dirty. Or when it’s obvious, like cooking etc, arse wiping things.
What about your butt? Should you wash your butt? I have 100 more follow-up questions after this one.
Hey has anybody seen GradeAUnderA? If you live in a field you use the bathroom than your hands are relatively clean, you wiz on a wall and non gets on your hand your relatively clean, so the answer is, Break your sink and try not touching your don't and you will be clean!
This aged well..!!!
Was that a spider on the wall by the flushing toilet at 2:14?
Bacteria? You mean skin tickles. *Insert manly man meme*
Not gonna lie. I thought the little creatures behind you were tampons at first XD
Cheers!
All hail the mighty soap invented by our ancestors!
I heard if you put your hands in the dirt then you put your hands in your mouth you will get pin worms like I do.😕
This aged well
TLDW: Yes.
Why do I have to wash my hands before taking food into my mouth: @
Tampons in the back drop!
This wasn't so much about the title as I thought it would be, what about things like hands drying out from over-washing? Seems like a credible con, where are the practical things?
I wash my hands once a day, and I'd say I'm decently healthy.
(ಥ﹏ಥ) i need subtitles - i'm Brazilian and can't understand right your pronounce
EAT THAT DIRT!
avoid antibacterial when you can but yeah just don't over wash
