Why Don't Scavengers Get Sick?

Rotting meat is host to some of the world's most lethal toxins...and yet some animals regularly stomach the stuff without getting sick. Here's how they do it.

[@wegner7036]

Acid resilience doesn't work in a black and white gradient between "Weak" and "Tough". Steel is much stronger than glass, yet a vulture's stomach acid has no effect on glass.

[@Alpharius93]

Or your own? We have hydrochloric acid in our stomachs (very strong acid), and mucose on the lining to protect the stomach walls.

[@judbakilam]

Weerewet that analogy doesnt work in this case. Glass is non reactive and so, corrosion resistant. Our stomach linings and those of vultures are comparable because they are made of the same material, flesh. So dave was actually asking what material they are made of.

[@chimkinNuggz]

That's why its not a bad thing for toddlers to be around pets like dogs and cats because they can start building up a strong immunity at an early age.

[@kobewankenobi8926]

yeah americas starting to become too clean with everybody indoors all day and constantly using hand sanitizer leading to immune system problems like allergies

[@someperson5506]

Same with peanuts. Here in Canada (I think in America too) there are so many people with peanut allergies, you're not even allowed to bring them to school. A relative of mine in Israel, where they feed toddlers a peanut candy called Bamba all the time, was surprised asked if this was new, even though it's been this way for a loooong time. I know correlation doesn't equal causation, but judging by what we know of allergies (i.e. them forming because of bodies attacking non-harmful substances that it's never been exposed to) we really need to feed babies and toddlers peanuts more.

[@mordekaihorowitz]

some person agreed. kids should be slowly exposed to more germs as they age, as well as foods, like nuts. kids won't be healthy if parents are too soft on them, they'll just end up as weak hypochondriacs.

[@forkyicicle8904]

+some person I agree with what you said about early exposure to foods such as peanuts to prevent allergies. when I was beginning to eat solid foods my parents would sometimes give me eggs. After eating them I would break out in mild rashes around the mouth. My parents became concerned and consulted a GP who said that I had an allergy to eggs and told them to not feed me eggs. My parents continued feeding me eggs and as a toddler I could eat eggs without having an allergic reaction to them.

[@jlammetje]

+Matthew Keith For some allergies, limited exposure to the allergen can actually diminish or "cure" the allergy. Research is being done on this topic, and it doesn't work for all allergens, but still :) This was told to me by an allergy specialist in the hospital.

[@65Drums]

+Justin Greenawalt He also said their stomach acid is 5-10 times stronger than ours.

[@nexzaros7951]

+Justin Greenawalt Yes. He said that they build immunity every time they eat the spoiled meat too. What we don't know yet is how it survives the first few meals.

[@TheChemistryShack]

Just throwing out a random guess as to how vultures can survive their first few encounters with harmful pathogens. Maybe they can somehow weaken the bacteria or viruses before they make it to the intestine. This would expose their immune system to a weakened form of the pathogen and help to build immunity. Just a guess though.

[@MinuteEarth]

Good guess!

[@VaeSapiens]

My guess is that baby vultures are fed antigens by their mothers while in the nest. I didn't check this hypothesis, but I believe that nesting behaviour of vultures is similar to other birds, so their mothers probably feed their young in similar fashion - by regurgitation. Exposing them to an microbial flora that has some of the antigens of the more dangerous diseases and they build their own immunity based on those. Just a hipothesis.

[@Cronuz2]

VaeSapiens I would support that idea.

[@shagster1970]

TheChemistryShack What about toxins that arent created by pathogens in the intestine? Many microbes create toxins as waste products. That would be in the meat and no immune system could counter that. ??

[@OmegaMegalodon]

TheChemistryShack thsi is exactly the same like the venom from snakes, they rarely get poisoned by their own venom or the saliva of the komodo dragons. Somehow all this snakes, komodo dragons and scavengers has their own defenses against it.
