Time stamp?

😮 I won't be able to sleep tonight, gotta find out

@JeEr MuCe Well, that’s a great info

Yeah, it depends on the particular details of the poison and the "state" in which it's stored... Mostly it's about the chemical "reactivity" of the stuff, but things like "volatility" also effect it... Highly reactive chemicals degrade over time, and in many cases there just isn't anything you can do to really change it... They're charged ionically to interact with more and more of the environment around them, to a point that you just can't stop the degradation as bit by bit reacts and turns "inert" over time... Highly volatile chemicals are substances that "vent" into gaseous form over time very easily or at relatively "low" temperatures... You CAN usually slow this process down, but it's not so much that they get less dangerous over time as they just escape containment and the vapors (gas) go away with every breeze... AND some chemicals are inherently hazardous BECAUSE of their timely degradation. In these cases what is normally relatively safe to play with BECOMES MORE dangerous through chemical interactions that produce more and more hazardous chemistry as a result... A fairly common example of this last one is common electronics. They're everywhere and we frequently rely on the electronic products we use everyday to be "safe"... Obviously you wouldn't sit down and eat your smart-phone or Tablet, since that's just silly... BUT frequent over-heating causes the wiring and insulation to break down... Some of those non-conductive materials produce HYDROGEN CYANIDE as a direct result of "thermal decomposition" (commonly burning, even slowly)... It's most obvious in the acrid smell and burning sensations you might get if you're around an electrical fire in a car, since automotive electrics are RIFE with this hazardous (and often under-rated) hazard... NOW, before we go outlawing electronics that can produce Cyanide "ffs"... Relax. Cyanide binds with hemoglobin in your blood and displaces oxygen. That's really how it kills... AND it takes a fair amount of exposure to do the "job"... SO JUST DO NOT hang out in an enclosed car with the electronics smoking up inside for any longer than absolutely necessary... ONCE YOU'RE BREATHING FRESH AIR, you'll recover fairly easily. You might get nauseous or cough for a bit, and oxygen might even be highly recommended, but generally just avoid breathing the smoke... That's where the "bad stuff" is... AND since cyanide smothers you chemically, it takes awhile (3 to 5 minutes average) to actually die of it, though to fall unconscious can be considerably shorter... Worth a note of caution, but cars have been equipped for DECADES with that grade of wiring and little risk posed to most common consumers. ;o)

“This isn’t even my final form.”

Most likely less deadly. Most expired medications get weaker so i assume the same for poison

that doesn't mean anything if the lethal dose is so small, like pufferfish. Just don't eat any poisonous things goddammit

So, that means if i overdose on something that you drink everyday like cola, then it will be come poison?

Very true. Dosage , almost for anything really, is the main point that determines whether you get intoxicated or not. This applies for not only toxic chemicals that you are obviously not supposed to ingest, but also for medication, vitamins or food. Even drinking water can kill you if you were to drink 5-10times the daily recommend amount.

@Alex K that means we can lick Cyanide?? lol

@@sultankahn9784 by licking cyanide you would die within minutes. Not a painless one to add. Every substance has a lethal threshold but they vary a lot in the range of concentrations that would result in intoxication. Meaning 1g of cyanide would kill you, but 1g of paracetamol wouldnt. But if you were to take over 5g of paracetamol at once (or more) you would face a serious liver damage within hours and without administering an antidote soon enough, a very painful death.

Same here in Austria. I went foraging for mushrooms with my parents as a kid - and I don't even like mushrooms. :-D Of course they were always checked in our book (which helpfully compared them to similar dangerous kinds), if they weren't one of the easy ones to tell apart. :-)

Is she alright?

The gut specialist that replies to questions in the very same Wired series says that you can actually get intoxicated very quickly, like immediately. I recall he said "you can feel sick before you even finished your plate".

Well there is not always a delay

@@AliEtSaMaman Yeah, as somebody with IBS (therefore I deal with this very often), it’s crazy how I can eat something and IMMEDIATELY the reaction I get ripples all the way down. Your gut contains a “second brain” with more neurons than a lot of animals, so needless to say, it can pick up on disturbances almost immediately. Don’t underestimate how soon you can get food poisoning OP.

@@rubyy.7374 Indeed. I've experienced that myself. Take good care, Ruby.

If you feel sick 30 minutes after eating something, almost definitely you just ate a bit too much and your stomach isn't quite used to it. Or maybe you're slightly allergic.

i’m not afraid of spiders but even i was like “uhh i don’t think i will” when she said to keep it

Ikr! I don't think anything could save me because as soon as I'd see that it was a spider that bit me, I'd probably die of a heart attack.. Also, so glad that they didn't show a picture of what that spider looks like for those who don't know. I so often end up throwing my phone across the room when watching informative UKposts videos

@@SMJSelena Its a brown, one inch spider with a sort of violin on its abdomen. Also, brown recluse bites won't kill you unless you're allergic. The problem with brown recluse bites is the fact that the venom can cause necrosis at the site of the bite, which could develop into sepsis if not treated with antibiotics, but the venom helps stop the necrosis. On the other hand, It's really men that should be scared of this spider, because it can cause the pp painfully swell. So if you're a girl, just go to the hospital, or at least have antibiotics on hand to kill of any potential infects after washing the necrotic wound. If you're a man, be ready for 4 hours of pain and possible permanent damage. Remember, Black Widows have a more potent venom, and if you get bitten by one, HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY!

I'll keep the spider as long as they sift it out of my vacuum cleaner
