The fact that I was able to figure out it was botulism from just an old potato, and the inability to swallow is a true sign I've learned all I can from these videos.

it's a sign that the medical staff are incompetent as shit. the moment you hear someone's fucked up after eating old food, botulism should be on of your very first thoughts.

[@JackRileyD]

​@@djancak And your medical training to be able to assert this is what exactly? Mind you, even Bernard said that the circumstances for botulism to grow is very specific, and the fact that it wasn't the potatoes, but the Jail wine that was the cause. Is also something to note. Mind you, my comment came pretty early in the video after it was revealed, but it wasn't with the knowledge of the jail wine that used the starch from the potatoes to grow. The inmates kept the jail wine hidden until they were promised no punishment for it's production, and consumption. They could find the problem pretty quickly, and I think they did. They just didn't know where the source of it was.

[@birdrocket]

Often, prison food isn’t much more edible than that. I can imagine one would get used to eating things that don’t seem edible in that environment

[@harmonicaveronica]

It sounded to me more like desperation than stupidity. Prisons in the US typically give people barely-edible food, and also don't give them enough of it. And by barely edible, I mean that some of it is literally designed to be a punishment to eat. And the normal stuff is unseasoned, nothing fresh, all highly processed. And again, portions are small so it's just not enough calories. Food is one of the many, many ways that prisons are inhumane. Medical care is also woefully inadequate. You basically have to be dying to actually get treated beyond being given an ibuprofen and told to sleep it off and because of this sometimes people do actually die. Dental care is non-existent outside of emergencies too. And there's some horrible corruption too, and it's common for guards to bring in drugs and sell them - and of course inmates take them because addiction is a hard thing to beat even under the best circumstances with lots of social supports. It's an awful, demoralizing place, and I understand why someone would eat and drink stuff that tasted terrible

The way you worked up to botulism was masterful. It was fascinating to see all the ways he could've been sick between his muscles and his brain being eliminated one by one until we're left with the answer. Fascinating and terrifying. 😯😯😯

[@bytefu]

I agree, but Bernard has "spoiled" the mystery with many more of his previous excellent videos. As soon as I knew that the patient had eaten a 2 week old baked potato and started to experience weakness in any muscles, I immediately realized it was botulism. The fact that one can learn some medical info and retain it just by watching a KZbin channel once a month is a testament to the quality of videos Bernard produces.

[@gabrielhermesson9926]

​@@bytefu I was actually proud that I figured this one out before he got to the diagnosis. Funny enough though, it wasn't from his other videos, but from some basic fermenting knowledge. Wine is generally made in a sterile bottle to prevent the botulism microbes from multiplying before the yeast have a chance to multiply, create alcohol and other compounds which inhibit bacterial growth, and dominate the environment in the bottle. Doing wine in a nonsterile bag, with toilet water, with no sugar to ramp up yeast production--AND putting a potato (which has dirt and a higher number of botulism bug) into it? 🤮

Just pointing out that if you want to get into canning, be sure to use a USDA-tested recipe. Companies like Ball (one of the more popular manufacturers of canning jars) also have lots of tested recipes online. The general rule of thumb is that high acidic or high sugar foods like pickles, tomato-based recipes, salsas, and jams or jellies can be canned using a simple "water bath" canning method. This is the easiest and cheapest method to can food as it doesn't require any special equipment, just a pot large enough for your jars. ANYTHING ELSE, veggies, meats, soups, stews, etc, NEEDS to be PRESSURE-CANNED to fully kill any bacteria and make it shelf stable. Be wary of any recipe book that suggests you don't need to pressure-can low-acidic foods.

[@Madonnalitta1]

You add acid. I do when making jams with fruit that doesn't contain it. I add lemon juice when I make kiwi jam, for instance.

The time where this video published is interesting because actually it's now Eid al-Fitr festival, a holiday in which people in Egypt eat a special type of fish called 'Fesikh' and 'Renga, a type of herring fish', Renga is made by covering the herring in salt for two days, then hanging and airdrying to dehydrate for several hours while Fesikh is made by drying the fish in the sun for extended times before preserving it in salt. it's incredibly common to get botulism if you get Fesikh or renga from a suspicious supermarkets and Ministry of Health assigns a special emergency hotline to receive calls for botulism cases in such holidays.

[@belofost]

Botulism bacteria itself can be dangerous to small children, and cause a disease. For others it is only dangerous when food is spoiled by it.

[@spvillano]

Another common cause of botulism in small children, especially infants is from honey. The bacteria proliferate in their underdeveloped intestines and poison them. Another common in newborns, from the umbilical cord stump, although that's much less common in the modern era.

[@ToonLinkHox]

My initial reaction was, noxious gas was the pruno not being done fermenting, paralyzed throat was botulism. Potato scraps being used in the pruno would explain why everyone who drank it got similarly sick. Before I heard the bit at 9:43 (and later 13:00 ) I was like "hey, screw your MRI, take a blood sample!" Fun to see my nonexistent medical experience led me to the correct answer... and to hear the professional staff had a similar train of thought at admission.

I once volunteered at a homeless shelter. After serving dinner, we were invited to eat too. I didn't want to eat as I knew the food was old (I was a health nut then) but I also didn't want to offend them, so we ate. We had potatoes. When the manager took us on a tour earlier, he explained that all the food was donated by stores. They were near-expiring tinned foods and veggies that were no longer so fresh. The potatoes didn't taste right. They were on the verge of spoiling. After we left, I drove home on the highway. I became very tired and sleepy. I struggled to keep my eyes open. I was going to take the next exit so I could pull over for a nap (it was just one more exit to my place but I couldn't make it that far), but traffic was slow. I feel asleep and crashed into the car in front of me. I had terrible whiplash but was otherwise unhurt because traffic was going at a crawl. I had never been so sleepy until I passed out. I was not lacking sleep that day. I knew it was the potatoes. When I saw this dumbo eat two-week old potatoes, it gave me PTSD.

Rotten or sprouting potatoes won't cause what happened to you but a massive rush of carbs will, especially for someone like you who was a health-nut therefore didn't normally eat large amounts of carbs. Eating a large amount of potatoes at once is something that has not only made numerous people ill (insulin spike) or fall asleep (carb coma), it's even killed some people.

I know that often doesn't end up being the case (the amount of people who relapse after leaving jail is pretty high) but regardless, if death isn't part of your sentence, you shouldn't have to die while there.

This is why I clean all of my stuff before I put it away, don't overconsume when I shop, and reclean things that have sit out for a long time. It makes it a whole lot easier to spot warning signs and manage the biome of my home. Even when I'm cooking, I don't leave portions out for longer than two minutes. If resting or cooling requires more time, I put it in the microwave or oven while they're off, or I cover them while they're scalding hot. If the dish is supposed to be cool before serving, I'll pop them in the refrigerator or freezer when they're safe to touch barehanded. I always clean away debris before sanitizing, and I sanitize every time I clean the kitchen, including when I finish the meal. Most of what we eat comes from the ground or has had contact with the ground. It's not just C. botulinum, but also c. diff, listeria. salmonella, h. plyori, hepatitis A, hepatitis e, norovirus, e. coli, _et al_ that can be found on foods that have made contact with the ground. Foods that are more difficult to clean like leeks, green onions, and various mushrooms are best bought from reputable growers who use and properly manage pasteurized compost, and have safe and compliant food handling practices incorporated in their processes. Many store brands [which remarkably includes Walmart] actually do, but strangely do not advertise, grow these foods in pasteurized compost.
