Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.

大家好,欢迎来到大脑洞开的生命奇想。
With many of my friends going through the hot months of summer,
我的很多朋友都经历了炎热的夏天,
my animator thought it would be a good idea to turn off all the cooling units in his CPU.
我的动画师认为,关掉他的中央处理器中的所有冷却装置是很好的一个想法。
You know, to get the Life Noggin fam here to experience what it's like to have a hot summer day.
你知道,让大脑洞开的人来这里体验夏日的感觉。
Got to say, I'm not a fan, but then again, I guess if I was, we wouldn't be in this predicament anyway.
必须得说,我不是电扇,但是如果我是的话,我们也不会处在现在的困境。
No? Okay. Wait, Triangle Bob, no, not water. That stuff is dangerous in here.
不是?好吧。等等,三角鲍勃,不,不是水。那个东西在这里很危险。
Anyway, you humans aren't the only ones that try to take advantage of having fun in the sun.
不管怎样,你们人类不是唯一在阳光下玩的开心的人。
Insects are becoming more active as well.
昆虫也变得更加活跃了。
And unfortunately, some of them can be pretty annoying, especially if they bite you.
不幸的是,有些会非常烦人,尤其是他们咬你的话。
That got me thinking of the most wild things that can happen from a bug bite or sting.
那让我想起虫子叮咬带来的最疯狂的后果。
And for this, we're gonna just go ahead and include spiders and other creepy crawlies here as well.
就这个而言,我们会开始讲,包括蜘蛛和其他令人毛骨悚然的小爬虫。
Now we're looking for the weirdest things, not just the most painful or deadly.
我们在寻找最怪异的东西,不仅是最令人疼痛或者致命的东西。
If you want to know about painful bites, go ahead and look up things like tarantula hawks, bullet ants,
如果你想了解令人疼痛的叮咬,去吧,去搜索狼蛛鹰,子弹蚁
and velvet ants, or as they're more adorable called cow killers.
和天鹅绒蚁等类似的虫子吧,它们更可爱的名字叫做杀牛者。
Yeah, but no, we're looking for more than just pain.
是的,不是,我们要找的不仅仅是疼痛。
First off since they are probably on everyone's mind now that it's summer again, let's talk about those pesky mosquitoes.
首先,现在夏天又来了,讨厌的蚊子可能缠绕着每个人,我们就说说它们吧。
While mosquito bites for many people are little more than itchy bumps that make you praise the aloe vera gods,
对很多人来说,蚊虫叮咬不过是带来让人发痒的肿块,让你赞美芦荟神,
some people can have far worse reactions.
但是有些人会出现更糟糕的反应。
We're talking things like swelling, fevers, and hives.
我们说的是肿胀,发烧和荨麻疹等反应。
Mosquitoes can also carry certain diseases like the West Nile virus,
蚊子也可以携带某种疾病,比如西尼罗病毒,
malaria and yellow fever, transferring them to you with their saliva.
疟疾和黄热病,通过唾液将疾病传染给你。

The West Nile virus can lead to paralysis and severe neurological symptoms in rare cases, so it can get quite horrific.

在极少数情况下,西尼罗河病毒会导致瘫痪和严重的神经系统症状,所以它会变得非常可怕。
Another wild bite that makes our list comes from the Brazilian wandering spider.
另一个上榜的野生叮咬来自巴西流浪蜘蛛。
Their bites can lead to intense pain and pretty severe medical complications like low blood pressure,
它们的叮咬会导致剧烈的疼痛和相当严重的医疗并发症,比如低血压,
hypothermia and a slowed or quickened heartbeat.
低体温症,心跳变慢或加快。
And things can get extremely weird if you have um, male genitalia,
如果你有男性生殖器,事情会变得非常奇怪,
that's because the bites of these spiders can cause a person to have a long painful erection.
这是因为这些蜘蛛的叮咬会导致男性长时间痛苦的勃起。
Yeah, I said it. Listen, don't demonetize me YouTube, okay? Hey, get out of here.
是的,我说的。听着,油管不要妖魔化我,好吗?嘿,离开这里。
This is for science. On the topic of spiders, both the brown recluse spider and the black widow can have pretty nasty bites.
这是为了科学。谈到蜘蛛,棕色隐士蜘蛛和黑寡妇都能带来非常严重的咬伤。
The bite of a brown recluse spider can be deadly and is known to cause necrosis in rare cases
棕色隐士蜘蛛的咬伤可能是致命的,在极少数情况下会导致坏死,
where the tissue around the bite itself starts to die.
被咬处周围的组织开始坏死。
A bite from a black widow has its own set of problems, potentially leading to latrodectism,
被黑寡妇咬一口会带来一系列问题,可能会导致毒蛛中毒,
which is an illness categorized by muscle rigidity, vomiting and excessive sweating.
它是一种以肌肉僵硬、呕吐和出汗过多为特征的疾病。
Our last contender for weirdest bug bite comes from the lone star tick.
最后一个竞争最奇怪叮咬的昆虫是美洲花蜱。
These strange little creatures have a single goal, to turn everyone into a vegetarian.
这些奇怪的小生物只有一个目标,将所有人都变成素食主义者。
Well, maybe not that exactly, but their bites have been known to cause people to develop a meat allergy,
确切来说不完全是这样,但是据说它们的叮咬会导致人们出现肉类过敏,
specifically with red meat called alpha-gal syndrome.
尤其是红肉过敏,这种情况叫α-半乳糖综合征。
Their bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into your body,
它们的叮咬会把一种叫做α-半乳糖的糖分子传送到你的身体,
which can trigger an immune system reaction that may lead to mild or severe meat allergies.
这可能会引发免疫系统反应,导致轻度或重度肉类过敏。
But hey, those are just the weirdest things that I found.
但是,以上就是我发现的最奇怪的东西。
Let me know in the comments below the strangest bug bite that you've ever heard of,
请在下面评论区告诉我们,你听说过的最奇怪的昆虫叮咬。
or if there are any other bugs you want me to talk about next.
或者其他你想让我们谈论的昆虫。
Curious to know how we can destroy all the mosquitoes? You should watch this video next.
想知道我们怎么能毁灭所有的蚊子吗?你应该看看下面这个视频。
Hmm, okay, well then maybe we could go more natural route
那么或许我们可以采取更加自然的方法,
and get a bunch of animals together that eat mosquitoes, like bats, to wipe them out.
把一群食用蚊子的动物聚在一起来消灭蚊子,比如蝙蝠。
I mean, one study back in the day said that a single bat could catch up to 10 mosquitoes in a minute.
我的意思是,以前的一项研究显示,一只蝙蝠在一分钟内可以抓到10只蚊子。
As always my name is Blocko, this has been Life Noggin. Don't forget to keep on thinking.
我是宝高,这里是脑洞大开的生命奇想。不要忘记继续思考。
