35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know I just heard about this one. A hospital in Kentucky pronounced a man brain dead so they could harvest his organs after he overdosed in Oct 2021. They began their routine viability checks. He woke up during a viability cardiac cath, which sent some personnel over the edge and speaking out. They were quickly dismissed by KODA (Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates). His sister also reported that she saw him crying with his eyes open as he passed her during his honor walk to OR for harvest. Her report was also dismissed. In OR, some of the operating physicians refused to continue with the procedure as they reported he was thrashing and bucking the vent. KODA was not pleased and requested additional surgeons to proceed despite this calling his behavior involuntary. There was no one available to step in. Surgery was canceled. The man is alive and well today. Many of the staff, including physicians, reportedly needed therapy after this experience.

Had covid in the beginning of the year, wasn't that bad, like a bad cold pretty much... but then I got stuck with post-covid/long-covid (same thing, different names). Constant high body temp with fever spikes a few times a week, exhausted all the time, my puls rises and I get winded by the smallest thing, aches that move around to different parts of the body, digestive issues, headaches... Pretty much the whole body is affected. And no one knows when or even if it will get better. Edit: oh and I forgot to mention the weird feeling of anxiety and dread I feel whenever my body temp is about to go up! I've had my fair share of medical issues but this is by far the strangest.

Been dealing with long covid for a few years after a few infections. I can tell you it gets better over time, but it seriously SUCKS! I have been lurking on the longhaulers reddit site and have found a few hypotheses for the effects. Itaconate shunt hypothesis can explain the fatigue and meshes with the evidence for "mitochondrial dysfunction" seen in research (https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2023/12/23/itaconate-shunt-hypothesis-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-fatigue/). Digestive issues can be explained by alterations in the gut microbiota and also vagus nerve damage from the virus (which also explains anxiety issues) (https://x.com/CoRESinai/status/1803126863805685999).

Not good to hear as I had Covid early March 2020. The first strain. Was on vacation in Miami end of Feb 2020 beginning of March where it first showed up in US before we really knew too much. Fortunate to have made it through but really wondering if my strange health problems are a result of it. 🤔

My husband and I both had it early too.we didn’t end up in the hospital, it we were both flat on our backs for n entire week, and not up to speed for weeks afterward. I swear our lingering sinus and other breathing issues, which also affect our stamina, are a result of it. I think they call it long COVID.

Flat on my back for a week straight. Barely remember all of it becuase i slept so much. Exactly my experience. Couldn't eat as nothing tasted good. Everything tasted the same. Like a weird dirt or maybe chemical taste? Hard to describe. But, not knowing the long term affects is bothersome. My doctor didn't even have the means to test me at that point. Just told me to stay home unless I started having breathing problems, which it never got to that point. Just congestion. Need to start a support group for people like us. Or if you know of one that is reputable, please share.

Thus far I have been lucky not to have contracted Covid (touch wood). Not knowing how a virus affects people's health in the long term is scary. Many people will now say thing like remember covid, remember lockdown, but the scary truth is we aren't free and clear, no where near it. Not only do we not know the long term effects on those who "got better/survived", it has had detrimental effects on how we interact with people, education, employment and economics. It's a scary beast

Um. This is not unique to covid. All viruses hijack our bodies to replicate, and the viral dna stays in many cells. This is why a significant portion of human DNA is "junk" DNA, and it hypothesized it may contribute to different diseases like cancer and diabetes.

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know Unit 731 was a Japanese “””research institute””” during WWII where they committed atrocities that would’ve made even the coldest of Nazis blush.

They would test the efficacy of different explosive devices by having live prisoners stand close to the blast and then see who survived the blast.

They would infect prisoners with STDs to see how the disease would develop if left untreated. Sickeningly, they sometimes would infect new prisoners with the STD by forcing an already-infected prisoner to rape them at gunpoint.

They forced other prisoners to strip off all their clothes and stand out in the cold until they died of frostbite, just to see what happened.

Perhaps worst of all, nobody was ever tried for war crimes and the man behind it all, Shiro Ishii, died peacefully in 1959. The United States knew of Unit 731, but they requested their “findings” in exchange for not investigating or prosecuting those responsible. Because of this, we don’t even know how many people actually died there, estimates range from 23,000-300,000.

None of the “findings” were even useful to the United States as it became clear that the experiments were carried out merely because the researchers thought they’d be fun.

Nakagawa Yonezo witnessed experiments and executions at Unit 731 and later testified, “Some of the experiments had nothing to do with advancing the capability of germ warfare, or of medicine. There is such a thing as professional curiosity: ‘What would happen if we did such and such?’ What medical purpose was served by performing and studying beheadings? None at all. That was just playing around. Professional people, too, like to play.”

Microplastics are found in human blood, organs and even placentas. These tiny plastic particles, which come from things like degraded plastic waste and synthetic fibers, are so persuasive in our environment that they’ve made their way into our bodies through te food we eat, the water we drink and even the air we breathe. While the long-term health impacts are still being studies, the idea that plastic is now part of our biologic system is pretty unsettling….

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know The sheer power and devastation of hurrucanes. I watched an interview with people who survived the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Their accounts were just awful. Some highlights:

- One man, who at the time was a teenager, was trying to get to their storm shelter out back. He was holding his toddler sister. Once he got outside, debris hit the girl in the head, smashing her head against his face. She died instantly. He said he just stood there, holding his sister's body for several seconds.

- One man watched their refrigerator fall on top of and pin their mother, breaking her back and paralyzing her. She was alive when he left her.

- People climbed trees to get away from the storm surge. Once it receeded, they had to crawl over bodies caught in lower branches.

- Several people were wandering around town naked afterwards. The storm had stripped them of every piece of clothing.

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know Organophosphates, including the chemical weapon Sarin Gas, work by inhibiting your muscle's ability to relax. Your muscles basically constrict and can't unconstrict, causing what feels like a muscle cramp through your entire body - your arms, your chest, your eyes, your tongue, everything. It most frequently kills via asphyxiation, because you can't exhale. Surviving means a permanent, irrecoverable loss of motor function, even with rapid medical treatment.

I used to work at the coroner's court and attended hundreds of inquests. I had to become pretty numb to hearing about the deaths and seeing the reactions of the families and witnesses, but there's one that'll always stick with me.

It's the new baby's first Christmas, only a few months old. The family are eating their Christmas dinner, laughing and telling stories. Granny is holding the baby, and feeds her a little bit of the chicken so she can try it for the first time. The baby chokes to death.

Every time I think about this one, I wish I hadn't been there and hadn't heard it. It's always in the back of my mind for the rest of the day.

How the rest of the world lives. I've been to Uganda and India. Ugandan kids live in grass and mud huts, eat raw sugar cane and African potatoes, and just want to learn, but will probably work in a sugar plantation or die young.
Indian kids are taught to do anything to get a small amount of money and that carries through their life, even selling their younger siblings of they can.
And here I was growing up in suburban America complaining about school and listening to blink 182 on my disc man.

Chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment (and also type-1 diabetes) really ruins your arteries and you may survive cancer but not your later heart attack, vision loss, or loss of appendages. By "ruins", I mean they don't just get blocked, they almost look shrunken or atrophied - thready. You can't thread a wire through them for stents and they are no longer good targets for bypass and so that won't help you either.

When you are doing surgery and a patient on the table dies, they turn cold. Ice cold. FAST. Uncomfortably fast. I will never forget that sensation. Awful.

That orphaned newborn kittens have to be carefully monitored because they seek out the nipple so aggressively they suck on the other kittens’ penises often to the point of removing the p*nis entirely. Thanks Ologies podcast!

Did a quick crash course to bacteriology. Using and dumping sanitizer back in the wild will inevitably give bacteria enough time have immunity to it. Which is something so dangerous that can break humanity.

Some of these are interesting, or scary. But quite a few of them sound like made-up stories.

I agree. I believe that it's a thing from the site(s) the "stories" are harvested from. I get the impression that someone reads a tale then does the "well, if you think THAT'S bad listen to this..." Always trying to top another story.

Disturbing in a good way: there's a species of mealworm that can digest styrofoam and plastic. The monomers they poop out can be reused. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/superworms-eat-and-survive-on-polystyrene/

I found out recently that when the space shuttle Columbia exploded on reentry in 2003, parts of the shuttle were found in three different states and 2/3 of it were never found.

Columbia broke up over the Louisiana/Texas border, and the debris field was 250 miles long and 8 miles wide (2000 square miles) spread across the two states. Only 38% of the shuttle was recovered, so 2/3 is roughly correct.
