I really enjoy your show, so please accept this feedback from a fan. Your show is great and turns the everyday community on to scientific discoveries, which is great! Koodos for that, but I also find to anyone who is anyway scientifically literate, the show can seem wider than it is deep. For example, in this episode you did not spend enough time on each plant and its compounds. Specifically, you did not show a suitable picture of nightshade or mention the life interesting compounds in it like scopalamine. If you increase the amount of description in your videos, I think it will promote this show from a cacophony of interesting facts to a genuinely useful show. Thanks!

I think a more proper video at this point is "10 things that WON'T kill you".

We went on a field trip to a lake and there was snake root at literally every fucking tree I could find, why life?
-

destroying Angel AKA THE MOST HORRIFYING MUSHROOM TO EVER LIVE ON THIS EARTH!!! well it destroys you DNA yeah the stuff that makes you you and apparently it's realy painful way to go out. the only good news is if we ever live in a dystopian future were we are detected through the police intelligence systems by using only your DNA...you'd be invisible...then ...die horrifically. 😝

This is why careful is a thing

One time I ate a crazy amount of oleander because it smelled like honey and I had to go to the hospital
-
You misspelled 'van gogh'...............
-

-
My mom jokes about making oleander tea for guests who are annoying. My Dad jokes around saying that all of our firewood is oleander wood
-
Where's marijuana?
-
so the animals who eat white snakeroot tree don't die but humans die from drinking milk from these animals?
-
What about coconut?
-
the yellow one... its super tall. its like the mancheel tree... anyone know the name?

You can always tell the difference between wild carrots and hemlock because the wild carrot blossom has one single tiny purple flower in the center, while hemlock does not.

Vincent van Gogh.... not van Gough..
