[@sobbytears]

if you act in a panic and pull the kid away, the kid wil panic too. if you just normally react and try to find out what is happening the child wont go in a frenzy which would pose a problem in helping the patient. your reaction decides the childs reaction, they dont know what is happening so they act on you.

I'm surprised that they didn't quarantine him immediately after realising he had an unknown virus. They could have accidentally infected everyone in the room by letting the husband and son near him without masks. They had no idea that it wasn't an airborne virus, or how communicable it was, or how long the incubation period was, for all they knew, Nathan could have gotten the virus three years ago but it only aggravated when he got a splinter.

[@Veldrusara]

For a show called 'Pure Genius', the writers didn't even make an attempt to be smart here. Humans and ticks couldn't be more biologically different. Their line of reasoning was "This creature that has no human biology inside of it is carrying a virus that affects human biology! Cleeearly this means that the creature's immune system is good!". Meanwhile, in the real world, the tick's immune system either sucks for not killing the virus, and/or didn't kill it because it recognized that it posed no threat. Most grade school kids can avoid contradicting their own logic on a writing assignment better than these people being paid to do it.

[@UrBasicGuy]

It's a tv show, not a medical science documentary. Just enjoy it for what it is or maybe go watch something else. Be well and live happily. 🙂

[@Veldrusara]

@@UrBasicGuy I do understand that, actually. I don't go looking for reasons to criticize anything or anyone. It's when showrunners have the confidence to put a word like 'Genius' in its title (a title being a show's 'hook' that appeals to people by summarizing its content into a few words) and then manage to insult people who're watching a show because thinking is optional by making it difficult to *not* recognize that contradicting your own logic in the same breath is just about anything *but* genius that its absurdity becomes noteworthy. Noteworthy doesn't mean I feel obligated to comment. That this is a *comment* section means that I feel *invited* to comment. I appreciate your commentary, but you didn't enjoy my comment nor does it make you happy or you wouldn't have commented, so maybe just don't lowkey tell people to keep their comments to themselves 'for the sake of their own enjoyment and happiness'. If killjoys bum you out, just say it that way. That's respectable. Like your suggestion: Only food for thought. Taste test or don't.

[@triplemoyagames4195]

Most Medical Shows are made more like mysteries, it's the fun part. Not the science behind it lol

[@kaylielewis4871]

This isn't necessary accurate. Some rodents have immune systems geared more towards allowing the animal to continue to be functional with the disease than completely kicking the disease. It's part of what makes them good carriers. Of course, I'm not sure about ticks.

[@Veldrusara]

@@kaylielewis4871 Rodents have many biological similarities to humans which is why 'lab rats' are the 'ethical substitute humans' of choice. Ticks are... insects. Not warm blooded. Not even endoskeletal. We don't share much with ticks except proximity of our personal bubbles, in unfortunate circumstances.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

They don't burrow under the skin; they're not scabies mites. They just wedge their jaws into the skin to feed; once they've filled up and are bloated, they drop right off. If he was bitten in a hard-to-see area, he might not have noticed the tick at all. Once fed, the tick will crawl away, to either moult and grow into a new stage of its life cycle, or (if female) to go lay eggs. And presumably, they would have told him to put a bug-bomb in his shed and clear away all brush from the surrounding 2-3 feet of space. Laying down a gravel border would be even better; ticks need shade and cool to thrive. They tend to die out on the hot, dry rocks when attempting to cross a gravel border to reach a host critter.

[@foxthx1138]
