I actually moved to Japan a little over a year ago and the typical medications people use can be a bit different from the western world. In terms of pollen allergies, people don't typically take antihistamines, and instead wear surgical masks to limit the amount of antigens entering their bodies. People where I live only typically take medicine when the symptoms are especially bad, and rather than histamines it would be steroids. This might help explain why the show went the steroid route rather than the antihistamine route for the episode.

[@chunt5584]

On that note, an old surgeon in my med school who traveled the world also noted that different population in the world has vastly different sensitivity and reaction to anesthetic agents. Interesting stuff.

[@6666Imperator]

I mean its a japanese anime so it makes sense that they orientate on more common things there (like with the sea water/food stuff in the last episode in combination with raw fish)

[@Mernom]

@@chunt5584 That makes sense - Isolated populations (even if not nearly as much as they used to be) tend to share similiar traits, including suseptability to certain sicknesses. And since Alergies are usually not leathal, they're not stopping the person from passing it on.

[@b.collins2656]

it also explains why the plant pollen is from cedar trees and not, like, ragweed or grasses, which is what's common in america. i was also really surprised about how cells at work chose to use steroids, because americans tend to see steroids as a big boy drug that's really only used when otc options don't work

Literally the only error you currently have is an erroneous apostrophe; you've got a level of English comprehension that I would associate with those that use their second language as a major component of their job. That's fluency nearly on par with native speakers, and the only reason I say "nearly" is because the structure is a bit strange- certainly nothing that could be considered incorrect, just not perfectly natural. You're doing a fantastic job and you'll only continue to get better, but I consider this mastery already.

As a scientist, myself, I absolutely loved the series and their take on the intra/intercellular communications and how everything worked out, finally even bringing up phagocytosis, showing the ridiculous overreaction, showing how useless eosinophylls would be toward bacterium, while being a powerhouse against parasites, and the adorable platelets... And Dr. Hope's take on this all did excellent in breaking down the highly complex situations and comparisons and simplifying it, further-explaining what the show only touches on in a more technical sense. It's actually pretty funny; because, I'm literally going through a good number of these situations (Outside, of course, of the parasite and the food poisoning). It's nice to see how the anime heroes in my body are combating the illness and allergic reactions I'm currently facing, as well as how the steroid I just had to take unleashed a damn robot to wreck the membranes of my body's cells.

This is so much better than other non-content based reaction videos. Love the way you stop things and then use visual effects and analogies to make the learning fun. Very professional and inviting. Also, kind of apropriate the cat muked up your cell a bit since cats can carry a lot of pollen in their fur and often cause allergies themselves.

[@Horizon_Flyer]

This helped me realize that when my allergies act up that it's just my body over reacting to dust and pollen.

[@kaseiryu]

I really like that the steroid didn't actually kill the cells, but it scared the heck out of the mast cell and B-lymphocyte which suppressed their activity. The level of detail this show works on sometimes feels like Easter eggs. Your input is a fantastic addition to this really fun bit of education (supplement?). I've suggested this show and your reaction series to my microbiology professor for his intro to microbio course.

[@brigidtheirish]

The way I see all the destruction and mayhem seemingly being caused by the pollen is how the cells perceive the 'invasion.' In that one scene you showed, it seemed like the panicking cells knocked into the pollen, *pushing* it into the building. So it was still the cells over-reacting that caused the damage and misapplying blame.

My cat leaves muddy pawprints because she hops in the bathtub and laps puddles from the most recent shower. -_- I don't understand her. She has two water bowls and they're both clean.

I wish there was more medical related anime, just so I can watch Dr. Hope review them!

[@Moon1tan]

Ikrrr, there’s Dr.Stone manga but it’s more scientific than medical but it’s still great nonetheless ^^;;(it’s getting an anime next year tho yaaayyy)

Try "Black Jack".

Super Doctor K (manga) and Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (light novel and manga, it has more about old herbal medicine), and then pharmacy of another world (light novel and manga most of the time diagnosis and medicine creation and also the running of pharmaceutical industry)

Apart from the amazing content and beautiful graphics of the anime, can we take a moment to appreciate those who create the subtitles~ the anime is so medical info-packed and as a translator/interpreter, medicine is such an intimidating field that I tend to stay away from 😂😂😂😂😂😂 the translator(s) of this anime really did a great job~

Love the show, and love your explanations. While the show does a fantastic job, it’s great to actually discuss how it relates to real life. Please continue to review the show Doctor!

[@shirophoenix01]

The allergy episode was one of my favorite from this show. I suffer from seasonal allergy so I can relate to it. I must say though, Im currently taking an Anthropology class on Human Variation and we are discussing the Immune System and Cells at Work has helped me out so much because thanks to it I feel more prepared on this subject. Then with Dr. Hope's input it helps ingrain the info better. I really like the small drawing/cut-outs of the cells Dr. Hope uses to explain as it makes it easy to digest the info. Im a very visual learner so you have no idea Dr. Hope how helpful these videos are for me 😁👍🏻

[@pyrauxe3507]

(Anime Release! Phoenix Wrightu no Jutsu!) *Slams Desk* What if the reason there were paw prints found on the picture which were confirmed to be of the defendant's cat was because it was the cat's picture all along, and his paw prints were his signature of the painting! ...GUILTY!

[@Pobblí-v3w]

I had a hive (urticaria) breakout one time and the way the episode demonstrates medication use for mild to severe allergies (such as hydrocortisone or a higher potency such as methylprednisolone) makes me feel a bit bad for my own cells in my body. Really important to stay hydrated and relaxed too. ;)

[@KitZunekaze]

To be fair the representation of a steroid like hydrocortisone was a bit exaggerated in this episode, as well. But it fit a theme of over-exaggeration being the problem. A cool thing with the show, though, is you never hear about the body but if they're getting steroids for a standard pollen reaction, they must have had a very severe reaction and possibly even ended up in the hospital. Otherwise much less potent medicine would have been fine. Dr.Hope explains a steroid better than I could, but they don't cause as much collateral damage as represented in the anime.

[@davidvenom]

I always try to get my doctors to explain this stuff to me but he never goes into details he’s just like “take this you’ll be fine” and I’m like “well but why do I have to take THIS and what will it do in my body? And how does it work against my symptoms and-“

[@Malenrick]

What I like about the steroid is that it basically "stopped" everyone by attacking them but if you pay attention nobody is actually killed, so it's this shows way of showing how it's using extreme force to stop the reaction of the cells but as you said, isn't actually trying to kill them, but sadly can have some side effects and cause its own damage in its attempt to help. Obviously not 100% accurate and I'm not educated in any of this at all, but I caught that little detail while watching the episode myself, considering how "powerful" this medicine is, I was surprised it wasn't just killing the cells without issue and instead missing a lot, which led to this little theory of mine. Love this show and I love your reactions to it, your explanations just make it even better.

[@rebeccacarroll9893]

Is it 12:30am where I live? yes. Do I plan to watch all 20 minutes of Dr. Hope geeking out and teaching me more about anatomy and physiology than I ever planned on learning? Also yes. P.S Was totally worth it, but now I really need to get to bed lol. Darn you Dr. Hope for your amusing and informative content! -shakes fist-

clericneokun 'advise' is used in caution: such as: "advise me, sir." 'advice' is the correct word you're trying to spell: "what's your advice?" referring to giving beforehand information. it may not seem to have a difference, but there IS. *_LOL_* *_Future Teachers At Work_*

I can't even finish the anime until he makes a video about the episode so that I fully understand what happened, lol. Well worth the wait though and about the only time I'm like BUT EDUCATION I need to know!

[@TheBeatriz90]

Same situation here.

[@Pentium100MHz]

6:25 - the pollen does not cause damage, but maybe some cell saw it and did a damage report just in case ("well, it has not damaged anything yet, but I'm sure it will, better call the police/immune cells anyway", "HELP, the pollen is killing everything its path!") and then the immune cells overreact causing the allergic reaction.

[@l.d.n.9443]

I was a tat surprised you didn't comment on the mention of side effects on steroids at the end: "Prolonged use and massive dosage pf steroids can sometimes cause side effects. It's crucial to adhere to the directions and recommended dosage." It surprised me because when I first watched this episode I was thinking that the steroid destroying everything was a reference to these side effects… Because, like you said, they normally don't destroy everything around them. It's not how they work. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this video. Seeing you comment on it and explaining everything from a doctors perspective makes me enjoy the series even more. And I really want to know what you'll say to episode 7…

Thanks for reviewing this episode! As a sufferer of allergic rhinitis for more than a decade, it really made me feel better. Antihistamines are my saviors but yknow, they make me sleepy. It sucks having allergic rhinitis bec it's difficult to do things such as touching dusty things, hugging teddy bears, too much face powder, perfumes, and other things. I love how this episode covers the whole process for the non-medical people to learn. Very educational!
