Aww, nature's always finding ways to feed us extra protein 😢❤

[@koushiksarkar6376]

Now I know what I'm gonna see in tonight's nightmare

[@bigthonk4904]

I will never forget that video of a woman finding millions of these things chilling in her homemade kombucha lol

[@ununpentium115]

There are sometimes things that I do not wish to see or know. But I like salad with vinegar.

[@shivercanada]

I’m checking my vinegar tonight just incase! More uses for my microscope! ☺️

[@mokongthe3856]

My eyes while watching this is itching so bad, along with all of my senses arround my body. 💀

[@VANOXmicroscopy]

Oh I need to try that too! Thank you for the suggestion :)

[@caitlinburke5184]

Oh they are multiplying so much since the last video! Wow! Neat!

[@michaelfishstein6356]

I worked with C. elegans for a bit and when they would to clump up it meant they were mating. So maybe that’s what these worms are also doing,

[@leoescamilla5497]

Or they just got stuck

[@Life_42]

Thanks for sharing! It's one of those things I rather not know but rather would know if that makes sense lol

[@brandirobinson8430]

Thank you!

[@ttaggeun9142]

A few months ago I made a terrarium to keep a snail I had found, when I let the snail go I closed the terrarium up and weeks later I found clumps of very similar and very tiny looking worms on the top of the lid where water drops from moisture had formed, It was really surprising.

[@alexjinks6172]

Oh ! So that's what I spotted ...Kind regards Alex

[@JavierBonillaC]

The clusters are zoom meetings to try to come up with a strategy to escape the droplet

[@notyah2411]

Could you please show what magnification you are using throughout your videos. It would greatly help newcomers like me. I am using a Brunel SP40 which is 10x60 at its highest.

[@weshard1]

I took a few drops of water from the sponge-like substrate of supermarket bought live watercress (the ones in the rectangular, clear plastic containers), and found that it was teeming with ciliates. I wasn’t able to identify them, and could find nothing online. I did this on 3 occasions, with different containers of cress, and each time they were full of them. An idea for a video, maybe?

[@voltixD]

Scary

[@jiggalojuggs2184]

So cool.

[@tundernan1]

Its a shame that the KZbin video compression algorithm (or some video compression along the way of your shooting/editing/uploading) has degraded the quality of your microscope video. Those little nematodes are so cool! It looks like it was a very high quality video before all the compression. Well done sir.

[@dolphintouchmichellepsychi6217]

I use to breed them for my baby Axolotls... Because the babies are so small!!!

[@patsiclepixelpop7865]

I'm pretty sure this is what is in my aquarium but I didn't put them there

[@Haven_city_civilian]

I'm not looking at vinegar the same way again.

[@chri-k]

extra protein content

[@treefrog123a]

Its called worm ball, its how they mate, u haveto filter em out or the round worm will become paricitical in body

[@romgossel7971]

Oh no. No no nooooooo. I'm gonna have a look at my vinegar bottle right away, and double check with my microscope

[@romgossel7971]

Everything's ok here...

[@romgossel7971]

@Sir Scofferoff Sneaky little monsters!

[@velkoz6396]

Vinegar has left the chat.

[@weshard1]

If you were to leave a container of vinegar sat outside, and out of the rain, could you get these nematodes appearing if there are fruit flies present?

[@ArchangelExile]

Interesting... 🤔

[@dissected_turtle2657]

Could you review the BEBANG x2000 Microscope ( if possible I wouldn’t be upset)

[@metiusabt2581]

Tre interese scii kiamaniere tiuj vermoj aperas nature. Dankon

[@peter8488]

Oi! Another thing to stress about, why, why!!

[@oliverjudson1834]

hi do more amoeba videos please

[@stephenqu6089]

My mum always drinks vintages

[@chri-k]

This is an interesting comment in many ways

[@tvviewer4500]

RawMeatExperiment is not afraid.

[@Officiallytommytime]

How does anything survive in acid like vinegar???

[@Microbehunter]

Depends really how strong the acid is and on the organism. Helicobacter, for example, is even able to survive the acid of the stomach.

[@mariakulasa3077]

Nightmare in my Scoby I seen some

[@Aui_stormchaser]

Yo

[@ardena30]

Maybe cause they're locked up?

[@GeezerTuber]

"They form in vinegar". From what? I can't seem to find any info on how their eggs spread. Do they grow on fruit? Are their eggs carried in the air or hitch a ride on an insect? I hear they grow in acidic lakes but that doesn't explain how they get into vinegar.

[@greensun1334]

🤢Oh no...😭

[@gconol]

Oh, we eat these guys all the time. They're harmless.

[@akbananachucker2441]

Who is we? And how did you make or get them? Someone said They are round worms and are parasitic.

[@Natasha_Mae]

Well good thing I don't like vinegar!🤢

[@camrenwyatt7152]

Smhhhhhhh

[@Aui_stormchaser]

I’m first

[@nightstormoutdoors6080]

Why did you mention the American food and drug administration? European food standards are higher than the US's. You are European.

[@NockyBoober]

Most people are American who watch.
