    Talking about something so deadly serious shouldn’t have a happy upbeat tone in the background. It doesn’t set the tone being presented

    I grew up in Nigeria and in third grade saw a little girl with this problem sleep walking out of class when school let out. My dad had arrived to pick me up and this girl was about to walk off the raised sidewalk, about three feet off the ground, when my dad reached out, picked her up, and put her safely on the ground. (I don't remember if she woke up or he woke her up after that.) It's a very strange disease IMO.

My professor was telling me about a friend she had in Zimbabwe who would sleep mid-way through a conversation she was engaged in. She would be laughing and speaking enthusiastically, and she'd go to sleep a moment after that. Thanks for the video!

Mr. Sandman had hot plastic surgery and is moving fast (kinetic-plastid). Mr. Sandman said "Hey! You Trippan o'r summin Brucei?" Bruce says, "Yeah man, I keep changing my coat (protein) cause my fly is teesny (tsetse)." Mr. Sandman heard this and laughed so hard he bout had a heart problem (cardiac). He said, "This kid needs (kidneys) to relax, he's having a cow (livestock) and his brain ain't working right. I gotta head to Africa and bless the sister rains (African sleeping sickness)

    I'm confused - are these videos for adults or children? The content is mature, but the video style is juvenile and it comes off as almost condescending. The channel is called "Let's Learn About Bugs!" and has a goofy cartoon character. But you aren't teaching children the basics if germs. You're telling them about very serious parasites. The content is geared towards adults and the information in the videos is college-level. The fact that you are including clinical presentation and diagnostic testing means this is for medical professionals. I think you need to do some reflecting and decide who you want your target audience to be.
