Never mind that I don't have a richard myself but I have severe skin problems I deal with on a constant basis and using random noxious chemicals would still not be a good idea ugh this video made me itchy
Real. If you have a condition youre tempted to treat yourself with chemicals not meant for that..... PLEASE just got to a doctor 😭 please, please, please, PLEASE
Yeah, I’m not the owner of testicles, but I couldn’t even imagine applying Nair to them. (I once gave myself a mild chemical burn using Nair as per the package directions on my upper lip. I would not recommend putting it on very thin skin.)
Life lessons learned from Chubbyemu: * Never apply any chemical to your balls * Don't eat anything from a gas station or an unlicensed food truck * Don't leave food on the counter overnight and then eat it the next day * There's an unsafe dose of everything * Never use any product in a manner inconsistent with the directions * If you heard about it on TikTok, don't try it at home * Water follows sodium * The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell * "Emia" means "presence in blood"
Lol I think of these lessons now when I'm looking at "I mean, it's PROBABLY ok" leftovers in the fridge 😂 now I throw it out if I have doubts, even though before I've always been fine (which was my previous argument/reason to eat it plus I hate wasting food)
@@alexius9072it's likely his immune system is taxed beyond its limits and therefor i would guess this infection he may or may not have had stood unopposed. But who knows, maybe he killed the shit out of it
"Strange sores between his legs" Hear me out, but if you do strange things down there, they are no longer "strange" sores. They're completely understandable sores.
It's actually quite the story. Chubbyemu was in the store shopping when he heard someone screaming "DOCTOR WE NEED A DOCTOR". C.E. ran over and was presented with a patient experiencing intense Testicular torsion. Testicular relating to the testicles. Torsion the action or state of being twisted. C.E. had to work fast, he knew without help the mans jewels would shrivel up and fall off if he couldn't untwist them. He tried an unorthodox procedure later to be called mechanical testicular trauma. He executed the procedure by grasping the base of the testicles with one hand and with the other hand firmly slapping with his palm. It was a grueling process but after 15 minutes of the procedure he could see the swelling in the testicles reducing and knew he had once again saved the day. Shortly after the incident C.E. received a message from the man he saved. The man felt incredibly indebted to C.E. and felt the only real way he could pay him back was to work as an unpaid actor to help get C.E.'s message out to the people.
And people wonder why politics is so bizarre sometimes, and why some people follow some really bizarre ideals. In reality, all humans are imperfect. Some more than others. 😳
I mean, I’m a female, and think even I could pull off acting out what it would feel like to have my balls on fire, and my heart about to explode because of it.
As someone who knows a bit about pesticides due to my job, this made my jaw drop, and I was really hoping it WASNT Paraquat. Why someone would do this I literally cannot fathom. People man. People are wild.
This happened in the 80s. People probably didn't know, or at least it wasn't as widely known, how dangerous that stuff was. I don't know why he decided to rub it in his groin (he was 76 years old, I doubt he was using hookers), but he probably imagined the poison was only poisonous to plants, after all the plants growing on those fields were going to be eaten so he thought it couldn't be THAT dangerous
I think that this patient was mentally ill. He must have contracted syphilis or a similar STD that made him ashamed. Also, if he was a chronic alcoholic, then that disease may have caused more cognitive problems.
This is so sad, it reminds me of my OCD compulsions before treatment. I’ve bathed myself in vinegar, bleach, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and other household chemicals to try to cleanse myself of some unseen contaminant on my skin. I’ve put tampons soaked in tea tree oil in my vagina and have forced myself to chew and swallow entire cloves of raw garlic. Those compulsions went away within 48 hours of starting psych meds 😢 Now that all sounds insane to me
I'm so happy for you that you have gotten treatment and that it's working well for you. I wish you continued success and happiness in your journey. I can't imagine how difficult it was prior to getting treatment. 😊
Chubby described his logic so weird. I would assume as insane as it was surely he must have been using it thinking it could substitute for an antifungal or antibacterial. I just can’t fathom intentionally trying to chemically burn your skin off
I worked in a Lung unit of a academic hospital and had to do stats on the number of farm workers who passed on due to being in contact with pesticides sprayed on crops. The numbers were quite alarming.😢
Before this stuff was banned it caused thousands of deaths. You could get a lethal dose just by spraying it and having it contaminate your clothes. Terrible
I live in a rural area. There is a small town not far from here that has huge numbers of people with extremely rare neurological disorders. 10 or 20 or even 30 times more prevalent than you would find in a large city in a town of less than 1000 people and I remember as a kid, seeing all the chemicals in my cousins barn on their farm. So many chemicals.
My grandfather once sprayed something that he used on his farm around my mother’s home and front porch. A few weeks later, my baby brother’s tiny Chihuahua walked right off the front porch and fell 5 feet or so. It was then that we knew that she had been blinded by the chemical. Sometime later, the puppy managed to slip out of a Brand New home after they moved and walk out onto the highway in front of a semi. My brother slept with her little pink collar for the longest time. Some years later, my grandfather passed of a tumor in his brain.
I have a PhD in Pathology and am super picky about online science articles. Your's are excellent and a welcome find. I particularly enjoy your explanations about the mechanisms involved. Super job.
Really super important moral to take from this story: He told the medical team exactly what he was doing each time he went in to the doctor or ER. ALWAYS tell your medical team, therapist, and lawyer the truth. They're the ones most likely to help you when you do something entirely stupid.
@@vapeurdepisse he waited too long for treatment and ^^^ what this guy just said. Not all cases of saying what really happened will save you, but you chances of surviving are definately higher if you just tell them whats up rather than not.
Yes but another important point is that on his first visit they neglected to ask him which pesticide it was, thinking it was unimportant. Had they gotten that information the first time they would’ve done some blood tests upon discovering it was toxic to humans to find out how much had already been absorbed in his blood being that the area where it was being applied is very absorbent. They could’ve taken steps to filter his blood much sooner and increased his chances of recovery maybe.
I would love to hear more about how doctors actually deal with never before seen cases. Every time i see a video like this, I am left thinking that the "average" doctor wouldnt know what they are supposed to do.
Can we get a standing ovation for the actor who takes on all these roles? This one required him to wear an adult diaper and rub blue liquid on his nether regions. He goes above and beyond 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This man literally died because he was unwilling to see a doctor for a potential STD. The things people are willing to go through to avoid a little embarrassment are crazy to me.
This is perhaps the most eye roll and facepalm inducing video I've ever seen on this channel, and that saying a lot as I've been watching it for years. There's just no words for this.
Imagine being this guy's wife and finding out that your husband is dying in the hospital because he cheated on you with a prostitute, got an STI, then tried to treat it with herbicide and diapers. Wth.
Made my drive shaft crank Made my pistons bulge Made my ball bearing melt from the heat Oh yeah yeah... Anyway this was song "Mechanix" by megadeth mentioning the the word "shaft" Mentioned because 0:34 is "Wake up dead" song reference by megadeth as well
A lot of it was umm... self-inflicted. Wanted to cheat, wanted to go raw diet, didn't read the label because wouldn't go to the doctor, didn't read the label... made it worse with a diaper, decision tree is a pit. The decision tree ended fatal. Without the cheating in the first place he'd have been better off.
@@1978garfieldas a former medical biller using diagnosis codes, I’ve never seen a code that would exactly explain this problem..but they could try this one😂😂 N50.0….testicular atrophy😂😂
A friend of mine tried to commit suicide by drnking Paraquat. He survived it and was told he was one in millions. All his organs and inards were burnt. I think he spent a couple of weeks in hospital. By some miracle he made a full recovery!
Your inability to express an original thought without resorting to the template of formulaic meme language, exposes your single figure IQ. You might want to work on that, to minimise future ridicule.
sometimes its actually incredibly hard to believe that a real person ended up getting sick or injured in the ways portrayed in the videos yet here we are... this is why we read safety warnings, kids!
This is why you don't self medicate. People have no idea waht side-effects they could get, and yet they keep trying to self-medicate, often with stuff that isn't medicine.
This dude is a legend. How was he able to be a farmer, and think that pesticide was going to fix an STD? I would not expect him to be able to get dressed, let alone actually grow crops.
This actor can't get enough of being wiped out by agricultural chemicals. He accidentally swallowed pesticide in another and injected himself with cow antibiotic. He's got these roles down pat! I love Chubbyemu's analysis and making it understandable for non-medical folks, and a nomination for an acting award by "Unlucky Farmer".
Years ago one my hubby’s friends injected himself with horse penicillin and died. I just got over Covid and had a bad case. I took the horse ivermectin and it worked!
Man, as someone who's sprayed pesticides/herbicides, that's insane. Farmers above all people should know that many of those chemicals are very dangerous, hence why so many have 24+ hours reentry periods and such.
Check the link in the description. The case was from 1983, and happened in China. Also, the dude was 76 years old at the time, and I understand from the case report that he wasn't trying to cure an STD, but eczema. Chubbyemu just tried to make it more relatable to modern American viewers I guess :D
@@vihmaussivenitajaThat may be a good point for this particular case, but have you seen what some people (grown ass adults) have been doing with borax :')
@@Diaphatim sorry to tell you but that is entirely someone's choice to not get Internet when you live in the country. I live in a tiny ass farm town and EVERYONE even miles into the prairie has wifi 😂 this ain't the 1980's
The case depicted in this story happened in 1983; which predates not just Google but the public internet itself. It's worth checking the first link (though content warning advised 🤢). On the same report it also covers a 23 year old pregnant woman who ingested it; after birth both mother and infant died from the poisoning. 😟
I've been a pesticide applicator for the last 4 years and just CANNOT imagine doing something like this. The thinner skin of certain areas of the body and the mucous membranes are some of the areas that absorb toxins MUCH easier, especially when they are in liquid form. Skin is a great barrier, but it isn't perfect. The warning labels on these products doesn't mess around and should always be adhered to.
Right? I use herbicides pretty often and I can't imagine doing something like this. This is just a chilling reminder to use proper ppe using herbicides.
Yeah... Even regular tampons are a bad idea IMO, it's crazy how manufacturers insist on bleaching stuff that's meant to sit inside your body for hours at a time, it's not like it's gonna stay white or anything jeez
This actor needs an award, he needs to be recognised for his absolutely immense talent. I like to think they don't tell him the outcome before shooting, he gets the directions scenes by scene so each one is genuine and fresh. Otherwise how could he be so convincing!!
Imagine shooting all of this just to be told at the end he was playing a guy who was trying to cure an std he got by pesticides and that is why your character has to die.
"I sneak in my own house It's four in the morning I've had too much to drink Said I was out with the boys I creep in my bedroom I slip into bed I know if I wake her, I'll wake up dead" - Megadeth, Wake up dead. It must have been on purpose 0:34
At this point, no one will ever see this comment, but reading over them no one has mentioned it so far: we don’t know if the guy had an STD in the first place. All of this could’ve come from his mind and his guilt.
I've watched a lot of these but I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone unknowingly ensure their own demise at every step of the way. It's almost incredible.
This man was probably not the brightest before this finally "bad call". The fact that he cheated on his wife is bad. Hopefully he was drunk and wouldn't have cheated otherwise. I hope that he didn't have sex with his wife once he was afraid that he had contracted an STD. The fact that he decided to "self medicate" instead of going to a doctor probably means that he lives in a small child community and knew the doctor and didn't want to start the rumor mills to start churning out the truth of his night out. So much pain and misery from cheating. I feel for his entire family.
These stories always make me wonder how some folks even manage to survive to adulthood. The chain of dumb mistakes is just so wild as to be scarcely believable.
This story is nuts... literally and figuratively. I'd feel completely insane to tell urgent care doc that I'd been bathing my choad in herbicide on a regular basis. Way less embarrassing to just admit you made a drunken mistake and need treatment for your infection/infestation.
The case study this was based on says the reason for the patient (76 years old) doing this was to try to cure eczema. Still a dumb choice, but the "hiding a STI from the wife" story seems to just be a dramatic note created for this video.
@@nothanks9503 I worked in a pharmacy and there's way too many older dudes who don't take care of their ailments/injuries and then when they do they do the dumbest stuff. And older folks also start declining cognitively so they sometimes make poor choices because they just aren't playing with a full deck anymore.
I live in the country. I refuse to use chemicals labelled for pesticide or herbicide uses. After a few years of university biochem, you realize how nasty some of these chemicals are.
Yeah even without studying them, my grandma always told me that those things are inherently dangerous because "you don’t know what’s in them and they’re chemical made to kill things" even when they were still used profusely, it’s baffling to even imagine that a large dose of any pesticide/herbicide could be an effective medicine on humans
My grandad has late stage COPD he was in chem sales for farmers. He’s slowly drowning to death bc of that trash. I farm now and will have nothing to do with it.
Hey, im german and can confirm, that most of the chemicals from BAYER (Monsanto) are highly toxic to us humans. It' s depressing when you look behind the curtain. Is it just a coincidence, that BAYER is also producing "medicine" while simultaneously producing Poison?
@@JeffMTXWhat kind of bugs? There is for every bad insect also a good insect, here in Germany we are working with Insects against Insects and we are doing pretty well.
I have had personal experience of using this chemical as a weedacide when working on a farm and it was well known that paraquat is about the most poisonous spay we used so it is extremely important not to get it on your skin of breath the vapour. Ingesting a small ammount of it can be fatal. I Australia farmers are required to have a chemical licience before doing any spraying and the chemicals have to be kept in a special chem shed which locked and had apropriate warning signs on it. And inspectors from the gov dept of primary industries regularly check on it. I cant believe how stupid this man was. The advantage of this spray is you spray it on weeds and within hours the weeds fall over and die. What an idiot.
This isn’t exactly a good thing to use even in a proper way because it does affect wildlife- ur indirectly affecting pollinators too when u use these on weeds… if u won’t use it on ur food then don’t use it on the wildlife either.
I mean. If he’s stupid enough to have unprotected sex with a stranger… I’m not saying he deserved anything to happen to him, but he really is his own worst enemy.
I get that paraquat is labelled as a herbicide because of it's use, but it seems it should be labelled a strong bio-cide. (In emu voice: "Bio meaning life, cide meaning killer of -- killer of life." )
Man, imagine dying like this just because you didn't want to go to a urologist. Imagine your husband/wife dying like this and then you learn the truth afterwards. Holy hell.
I don't know about that, I'd say the number one spot is deserved by John Allen Chau, the idiot who went to the Sentinelese island, because he believed in an imaginary guy in the sky, that apparently compelled him to go spread his mental illness to these untouched people's.
People are only eligible for a Darwin award if they haven't reproduced yet, so unless this happened recently or is already on that list the really sad part is he probably left behind children also.
You can't possibly pay that guy enough! He is so good! I was crylaughing the whole first half of the video, then it turned into a tragedy - and he was great in that too. Great writing and narration too. One of the best videos I've seen on YT in a while.
I feel horrible for his wife. She has to deal with losing her husband, being incredibly heartbroken, and at the same time _furious_ that he permanently destroyed their marriage over some strange 🙄 The second most important moral of this story? *Don't cheat on your spouse.* (the first would be: "quit messing with paraquat, damn it!")
When I was a teenager and smoking a lot of weed, we found out that paraquat was being used to kill off the pot fields. I'm still hanging on 50+ years later. My step dad had Parkinsons'. He crop dusted his family's farm in South Georgia. That pesticide is related to neurological diseases. He would also be in the field when the plane dumped the pesticide over the fields. Damn.
It's doubtful you smoked any pot that had been sprayed , Paraquat is a desiccant on plant life meaning it dries it out usually in one day so if authorities wanted to burn a field of green , growing weed , they could spray it in the morning and burn it in the afternoon . Pot growers do not do this , crispy brown weed would not sell well i'd think .
He snuck in his own house. It was four in the morning. He had too much too drink. Said he was out with the boys. He crept in his bedroom. He snuck into bed. He knew if he woke her he'd wake up..... Awesome reference 👍👍
I'm floored by the line of thinking PT had. "This spray that I use to kill certain plants seems like the perfect solution to an STI... Better than getting chewed out by the wife!" Makes me think he could've been the kind to (purposely) inject antibiotics meant for livestock given the 'right' circumstances.
The STI part is completely made up for this video, the real story is eczema and it happened in China. Still a stupid thing to do of course but this video is a only loosley based on the real event. Edited for spelling.
I got a chemical burn on my thigh/butt recently from a toilet seat (bowl cleaner splashed up on the seat and it wasn’t completely rinsed off) and it was a TERRIBLE week for my butt. I had to sit on an ice pack the whole week. Be careful with chemicals and always tell your medical team everything you know about what’s going on. Chemical burns are no joke.
If you drink tap water, you probably filter it first, BUT your body absorbs the harmful chemicals in tap water even more from when you bathe or shower in it. The same is true for chemicals. If you can afford it, though, get a shower filter.
That's incredibly random, I did not know that was something that could happen. I'm so sorry you went through that. Hope your cheeks bounced back after that
"BUT your body absorbs the harmful chemicals in tap water " Most of the developed world has safe tap water, you don't need to worry about harmful chemicals in your water (at least, not in the quantities present).@@EmeraldEyesEsoteric
Thanks to the men & women who are brave enough to act out these unusual medical emergencies. I find these cases and the chemistry behind them fascinating.
My Uncle told me a story about his friend who was an ER doc. Said the weirdest thing he saw involved a man, his rectum and a large steel ball bearing 😅
@@poindextertunes at that point just buy a toy for that purpose. It's less embarrassing to be seen at the store buying it than in the ER with something else.
Did you just quote Megadeth, Wake Up Dead? "I sneak in my own house It's four in the morning I've had too much to drink Said I was out with the boys I creep in my bedroom I slip into bed I know if I wake her, I'll wake up dead"
No, he could've kept his secrets but sought professional medical care from the start. What killed him was pesticides, stupidity/naivete/arrogance, and fear of asking for help... So preventable 🙄
13:18 "the paraquat stays concentrated in lungs ,continuing to cause damage. And it won't stop until PT stops Breathing..." This sounds serious...but why can't I stop laughing.
