POV: you googled "i have a headache"

as a medical student, I've met a pacient at our university hospital with CJD. It's absolutely devastating to see a healthy pearson degenerate and lose their whole personality and motor functions until they inevitably die. The craziest and scariest part is that CJD can acutally happen spontaneously. That's right. RANDOMLY. with no reason or clear cause, someone's proteins can adopt a defective and erroneous configuration and become a lethal uncurable prion - a death sentence out of nowhere.

One more video before bed : The video :

Note: Most of these diseases are INSANELY rare, you will most likely never get ANY of these, as we get vaccinations for a lot of them at a very young age. The bacteria that causes the bubonic plauge (yersinia pestis) has only emerged about 3 times in the past 250 years, almost all being in China/Mongolia. Polio is extinct in most parts of the world, except for India and some parts of Africa, and almost all of the prions mentions are INSANELY rare, only having about 5 to 6 cases a year. Anthrax is only really present in siberia and an island in Scotland called Anthrax Island which is were the UK were developing bio weapons during WW2. Malaria is the most common out of the list, but is also VERY treatable, and is mostly prominent in Africa and Asia.

Quick note: The terms “bubonic plague” and “Black Death” can’t be used interchangeably. The bubonic plague is the disease, and the Black Death is the most famous outbreak of said disease which occurred from 1346-1353. Additionally, Ebola doesn’t necessarily have a 90% mortality rate, it entirely depends on the strain of Ebola in question. Ebola Zaire does, in fact, have a 90% mortality rate. Ebola Sudan, on the other hand, has a mortality rate of around 60%.

7:40 Fun fact! If a deer gets Mad Cow Disease, or MCD, it’s called Chronic Wasting Disease, or CWD. But if a sheep gets this, it’s called scrapes (scrape E s) and gets its name from causing sheep to itch so much they scrape their wool off.

Not Fun Fact: The "hydrophobia" exhibited by victims of Rabies is a unique symptom with a deliberate purpose; rabies spreads by its presence in saliva, but ingesting water or swallowing saliva (two things rabies deliberately prevents) would reduce the viral load. Typically a virus would not have an advantage in being so completely lethal in such a short span of time, but Rabies gets by by being so effective at transmitting itself in this way.

I got malaria when I was 13. Can confirm I was super confused. One example was when I saw a "flea man" from castlevania in my parent's room. It then morph into a dragon's head and breath fire at me. My body actually felt like it was on fire I had it for like a month. My joints was in pain. Couldn't walk. When I tried to sit, I simply drop like a sack of potatoes. I didn't even had the strength to open the door to my parent's car. Skin was hypersensitive. If I focus at one spot, it became a blind spot. High fever and in a constant state of delusion Overall, it was awful. Public hospital just gave me meds for fever which did nothing. Went to a private clinic, they gave me quinine. Only took about 30 minutes for me to sober up and realised I was not, in fact, a robot - which is a shame. Took about a week to make a recovery

My family has a history of CJD, my Grandpa passed from it when I was 2 or 3. My Mom has gotten very involved with CJD awareness and fundraising support in the last few years, she’s really been inspiring. Just this past week she flew to DC to lobby for research funding. The main research group working on a treatment and eventually cure for CJD has recently started their first drug trial!

This is the perfect video for my health anxiety.

You got something wrong. Rabies is not the most lethal disease on earth, TSEs are. (Mad Cow Disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Fatal Insomnia (sporadic or famililal) and Kuru, among others). While there are a few survivors of rabies, although very few compared to the amount of cases, there are absolutely no survivors of any TSE.

a former teacher of mine passed due to CJD recently. people only noticed that she seemed uncharacteristically forgetful about a week before she took off work. she died within a month of being diagnosed. she was very young and very healthy otherwise. it literally came out of nowhere.

I feel like you're missing Smallpox, Although it's is almost eradicated, there are still some samples left on earth

interesting fact abt kuru: since it was most popular in papua new guinea due to a native group’s culture making it extraordinarily common. since it was so common within this group, some people have developed immunity to kuru
