WEBVTT - Spanish Fly: The Deadly Aphrodisiac

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind from how Stuff

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Works dot com. Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow your Mind.

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>My name is Robert Lamb and I'm Julie Douglas. We

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>are continuing our assault on Valentine's Day Downtown exactly. We've

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about kissing, We've talked about the color pink um.

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Today we're talking about something a little different, something that's

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 1>a little less of a Valentine's Day staple. It's not

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>like a lingerie, it's not something that is advertised on

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>billboards come every February. We're talking about Spanish fly, an

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>aphrodisi act that is at once kind of mythic and

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of has all this these fictional airs about it,

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time is a definite real thing

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>that is fascinating in its own right, and often in

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>ways that you might not expect. Yeah, I mean, people

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>associate fish fly with afrotusi acts, right, this idea that

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, someone just needs to have a bit of

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it and all of a sudden they will fill amorous

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and we'll discuss that. But yeah, you're right there. The the

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the actual implications of Spanish fly itself very differently. When

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 1>is the earliest you ever heard any inkling of Spanish fly,

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't. I want to say, like middle

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>school is I have an idea of that. And I

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>also have an idea of tequila in the worm at

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of the bot or the bottom of the

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>bottle is being part and parcel of that, which I

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 1>don't think exists either. Yeah, I feel like and maybe

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you can relate to this. I feel like it might

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>have been referenced in kind of an off color reference

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in some old timey cartoons, like I don't know if

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>it was something that I had some exposure to, and

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like there was maybe a moment where

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody had had a bottle labeled Spanish fly and it

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>showed up as a gag and something in another you know,

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>like it was that level of of unbelievable that it's

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>just some sort of like magic juice that that somebody

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>gives to another person and it makes them, uh you know,

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>wild and randy or something. Well, it's back I think

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.519
<v Speaker 1>in the collective conscience because uh, as we know, Bill

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Cosby allegedly has been accused of um giving his giving

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>people certain drugs um and then raping them and uh

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>he has a routine I believe in the sixties, Yeah,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>from his sixty nine comedy album It's True, It's True.

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>And he also talks about it in his childhood yes, um.

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>And he he has referenced rufies or some sort of

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>rufies before and other interviews and someone and so forth. Um.

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>But he talks specifically about Spanish fly in this one

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>routine from the album It's True, It's True. Yeah, if

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember correctly, in the bit he's he's talking about

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>as a kid hearing about it, which is very relatable

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>because I, you know, my earliest memories of hearing about

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>this thing are also in childhood, and and from a

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>childhood perspective, it sounds kind of just fanciful and weird

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>and maybe even attractive on some level, you know, like, oh,

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>this is this thing, and you know, and though off,

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you give it to somebody and then suddenly they're all

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>lovey devy, like that's the very unreal version of it.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>But then you you take it and you put it

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>into reality, you put it into an adult reality, and

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about something that's really rather horrible and and

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in in in the case with the allegations against Bill Cosby.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>You also see that that that story of childhood taken

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and then and then what happens when you look at

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it from a very real adult standpoint. I mean it's

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a it's just deplorable. Yeah, I mean, the the actual

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>thing that he says. He says, go to a party,

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>see five girls standing alone and that boy. If I

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>had a whole jug of Spanish way, I'd light that

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>corner up over there. Ha ha ha. So right, it's

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>a you know, hearing it now is it's a little

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>bit disconcerting, but it brings up the whole idea of

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the Spanish fly and whether or not it's actually a

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>true aphrodisiac and what the deal is with it. And

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I just want to point out that FDA study proved

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that the chemical had no sexual effects on men or women,

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>and yet the myth of this continues to persist, and

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>how you define sexual effects kind of differs, and we'll

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>talk more about that later. All right, So what is it?

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>People are probably wondering, what is the Spanish fly? Is

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>it an actual fly? No, but it is. It is

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>a beetle, technically a blister beetle. To be a specific

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>They're about different species of blister beetle. But we tend

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to collect this. Uh, this agent cantharadin from two specific species.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a European blister beetle called light of Asigatoria and

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>there's a North African blister beetle known as my lab

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>risk kikori. And uh, they secrete this. They secrete cantharit

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 1>and as a self defense, as a chemical weapon to

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>keep things from eating them. And this is the type

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>of insect that's it's brightly colored, long body, bright greens,

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>blue wing cover stripes. It's sending a clear message to

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>potential predators. Hey, if you eat me, bad things are

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>going to happen because I'm just laden with chemical weapons. Yeah.

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>And that canthar it in. It's a it's a turpin

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and organic chemical compound. And they secrete it. The beatle

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>secrete it as this kind of milky looking fluid from

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.719
<v Speaker 1>the joints in their legs. Very convenient. Yeah. Now this

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 1>is this doesn't have much to do with canthartin, but

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty interesting as a side note. Um, these blister bugs,

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>they the adults lay eggs near the nest of the

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>solitary b and then these larval b lice as they

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 1>call them, feed on the eggs and food stores, and

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 1>they eventually grow into adulthood dropped to the ground, feed

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>on vegetation. And it's in this life then that they

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>have the full protection of the canthard and to keep

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 1>things from from meeting, most things from eating them. Because

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it's worth noting that there are um some birds such

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>as the meadow lark, such as the bluebird scissor tailed flycatcher,

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that are conferred and resistant and uh and make them

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a part of their diet. Yeah. And there are accounts

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>though of some livestock eating them and actually being poisoned

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>by them. So most most animals steer clear, but as

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 1>you say, some of them can actually stave off the

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>effects of conferait in. Now we should probably talk about

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 1>how conferred in works in terms of the Beatles reproductive life.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>This is very interesting. Yeah, And then in this we

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>get right into the Valentine's Day theme, like legitimately and

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 1>not in a weird creepy way, because of course Valentine's

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>is about, hey, here's a gift for the person I love,

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, or failing that, the person that I want

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to mate with. That sort of thing you know. Yeah,

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>like here's a box of chocolate, right, and is essentially

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a pre nuptial offering, as we call it in the

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>animal world. I feel like we've we've talked about this

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in the talked about this with orb weaving spiders, where

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>they say, here, here, here's a gift. Here's a here's

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>a gift that shows my you know, to anthropomorphize a bit. Here,

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>here's a gift that shows my my support for you.

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Here is some some energy in the form of some

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>food or whatnot that will help you survive and help

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>our our offspring survive. Yeah, it's like, hey, we'll we'll mate, right,

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>here's a little bit of energy. In the case of

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>pyrochroid beetles, they're doing somewhat of the same thing as

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 1>as the male or weaving spiders. They're presenting a gift,

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>not so much for energy though, is more like protection.

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:52.239
<v Speaker 1>And what happens is that the male beetles essentially hand

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.239
<v Speaker 1>over a packet of sperm to the female when they're mating,

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and she will fertilize her eggs and she can kind

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of take her sweet time with whether or she does

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>this right. Um, the females can discard the packets that

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>don't please them, right, there's just not please me, bring

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>me another. Um. So, what crafty private chroid beetles do

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to ensure that their gift of spirm is like really

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>highly prized and received, is that they produce bonus packs

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of camper ridden and this this camphor written will allow

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the females to cover her eggs with it, and then

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that keeps those eggs safe for predators. So it's kind

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>of like if you were to give your your your

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>sweetie a handgun for Valentine's Day and say, here, take this,

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>protect yourself and our offspring with this lovely handgun. I

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.719
<v Speaker 1>think they call that a Texas Valentine. A Texas Valentine, yes,

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's probably a Georgia Valentine too for that matter.

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>So is the mating ritual kicks off? The pyrochoid male

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>actually secretes this gooey substance from a groove like structure

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>in its forehead. Uh. And then the female of course

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>tastes the gooy since and if she detects canthardin, then

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>she knows that this is the this is the guy

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>for her. If it's if it's not there, well then

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>then maybe she'll pass. Yeah. That's what I think is

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>so great about this is that, you know, maybe the

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>beetle titles up and says, hey, I've got a little

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>camphor it in package here for you, and she's like,

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>prove it, prove that you can secrete this, and then

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>out of his forehead it uzes and then she sniffed them.

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.079
<v Speaker 1>It's great. This is good like Valentine's drama right here. So,

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's kind of hard the beat in terms

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>of a mating ritual. If you want to learn more

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>about that, check out this article Spanish flies a lure

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>ardor or armor by Janet Rolla from Science News. So

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about canthardon that that powder you derive from

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>grinding up the the booster beetles essentially a chemical weapon

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>devised for the creature's defense. But as as we've discussed before,

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>humans are all about taking another creature's chemical weapon and

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>using it for their own advantage. We do it, and

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 1>everything from the spices on our food to indeed some

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>questionable aphrods as in the form of Spanish fly. Hippocrates

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>prescribed ground blister beetles as a treatment for dropsy. And

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>then you also have traditional Chinese medicine, using bliss for

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>beetles to treat piles, alterers and brabies and even warts.

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>There's another as far as it to use as um

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>an aphrodeziac or at least it's it's more recreational uses. Um,

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>there's there's some some interesting details from the life of

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the Marquis assad Um s eighteen fourteen, if anyone who's

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>not familiar with him, French aristocrat, revolutionary, politician, philosopher and writer.

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 1>He was a free thinker, a free doer. He was randy,

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>he was he liked the ladies, he liked the men.

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>He uh, he liked everything. Uh and uh then he

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of of course, a lot of scandals

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>in his life. Um, you know, pretty much constantly in

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the In seventeen seventy two, Um, there was an incident

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>where he had engaged his uh, his servant latour to

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 1>find him some some prostitutes, and apparently the women in

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>question helped themselves to the marquees uh personal stash of

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Spanish fly laden candies. And uh, since suddenly they're you know,

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they're suffering upset stomachs. Uh, they fear they've been poisoned

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and uh. Meanwhile, Dessad and the Littour flee the estates

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>of the king of Sardinia who wanted to have him arrested,

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and that they end up being executed in effigy for

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 1>for this this crime. But essentially at the case, these

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>women are poisoned by the Spanish fly. Yeah, and they survived.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, as we'll discuss it a little bit,

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>they probably had they probably suffered pretty greatly depending on

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the amount that he gave them. I mean, after all,

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>he was um sentenced to death or attempted murder. Yeah. Yeah,

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>So just that's just sort of an idea of just

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>how potent this is. I mean, it's a you know,

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>it's again it's the it's the the insects chemical weapon,

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and if taken in small doses, presumably it's not gonna

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>kill anybody, but it's apparently very easy to to reach

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that threshold of serious harm with this particular agent. Now,

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>this was also used in terminating pregnancy and um If

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you look at the long history of um of abortion,

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>particularly before it was legalized, and you will see that

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>there are all sorts of accounts of different things that

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>may induce pregnancy termination. In the article leeches lie in

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Spanish Fly by Kate Manning in the New York Times. Um,

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>she says, quote and talking about this sort of secret

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>coda of terminating and pregnancy, she says, quote French periodical

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>pills warranted to have the desired effect in all cases.

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Was one such knowing ad that appeared in the Boston

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Daily Times. In those ads spoke euphemistically of curing female

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 1>complaint or renovating or unblocking the womb. So what's interesting

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>about that is, and we'll talk more about the effects

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 1>on the human body, is that there was a sort

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>of wink, wink, Hey, this is this is a substance

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that you could use if you have these sort of

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>female complaints. Yeah. Now, just to go back to Marquis

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Assad for a moment, um, there was there's at least

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>one account that Marquis Assad would would would encourage prostitutes

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to partake of these Spanish fly cookies because it would

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>make them a little gassy, and that he was into that. Um,

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>he was into gassy sexual relations. I mean, he was

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 1>into a lot of things. So I guess that was

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's on the menu. Um, but these are

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>not this is not the primary desired of fact with

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Spanish fly. Most of the accounts that you see generally,

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the idea is that it's supposed to to fire up

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>one's lust or to provide a mail with an erection

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>when they're having difficulty achieving or sustaining that state. And

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>it does. But I feel like it's an erection that

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you would never want if you if you haven't to

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>look at the descriptions of this. And let's just start

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>just even with, um, what it's like to have skin

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>contact with Spanish fly, because it's not called blister beetle

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>for nothing, right, Um, you get blisters, estering ones. If

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you have contact with your eyes, it can cause blindness.

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 1>A deadly dose is only thirty milligrams, and one gram

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is enough to cause symptoms in five thousand people. And

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>when you ingest it, that camphor it in inflames the

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>gastro intestinal tract, and that maybe we're decide was trying

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage of the side effects here of Spanish

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>by and then depending on the dose, it can completely

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 1>strip away the stomach lining. Yeah, there's a lot of

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>burning and uh. And when you're talking about an overdose,

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about abdominal pain. Respiratory and heart problems, renal failure,

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 1>bloody urine convulsions, coma, and possibly death. Yeah, I think

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>about it making its way through the rest of the body,

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>not just the stomach um. It can affect the lining

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 1>of the uterus and it irritates that lining. But it's

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 1>that your irritation is sort of negligible when you compare

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it to men, in whom it causes a great deal

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of swelling. And that's where the erection comes into play. Yeah,

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>basically we're talking an allergic hell direction, we're talking a

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 1>non sexual priapism, so as you end up dealing with

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of burning swelling down there that results

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>in an erection, but not really the kind of erection

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that I feel like anybody reasonably wants to have. No.

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's like an anaphloctic response for your keenness,

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>right that can't be at all romantic or even you know, essential,

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, barely functional. I'm thinking, you know, like it's

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>just it's just it's a bad idea anyway anyway to

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>shake it. Yeah, and even a minor overdose of canard

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and can lead to erections long enough to need medical intervention.

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>To uh to put them down. But you know what

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>it does for enough that there's actually one species that

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is taking it so that they may secure some more

0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 1>amorous flings in the future. And what I'm talking about

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>here is the male bustard bird. Oh yes, this is

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>a This is one of one of the birds that

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that has some degree of of resistance to the canthard

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and but uses it in a most interesting manner. The

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>males actually pick the blister beetles out, you know, of

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 1>array of possible food choices, and they do it to

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>reduce STDs and more importantly, to reduce to to to

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>watch away the appearance of STDs when picking out mates,

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:10.400
<v Speaker 1>because they wanted to appear clean and disease free. According

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to Discovery Magazines, uh seriously, Science blog quote, a white,

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>clean cloaca with no infection symptoms is an honest signal

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of both resistance to canthardin and absence of parasites, and

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>represents a reliable indicator of the male quality to the

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>extremely choosy females. That's right, because the lady bustards actually

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>examine the male busterds cloaca before deciding to mate with him.

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>A little look, you know, under the hood. As it were. Yeah, yeah,

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 1>before taking it for a test run. So so there

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you go. We just wanted to go out on a

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 1>positive note there and let you know that the male

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.159
<v Speaker 1>bustards are are using it in the appropriate way are

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.399
<v Speaker 1>probably the only ones who should be using besides the

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>actual beetles themselves. Um. And we wanted to do a

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.200
<v Speaker 1>little public service announcement. If you're we're thinking about Spanish blood,

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.919
<v Speaker 1>please do not. I cannot use it unless you are

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.639
<v Speaker 1>a bustard bird looking to clean your kloeaka a bit uh.

0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.919
<v Speaker 1>In those cases, go ahead, um, or if you yourself

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>or a blister bug, I mean you should naturally occurring

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 1>chemical weapons as you see fit. Yeah. You know, we

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>talked about STD posters a while back, and I can't

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>help but think if animals, if the Animal Kingdom had

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 1>their own PR campaigns, what might those posters look like,

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 1>especially from the bustard birds. Keep your chloeca clean, yeah,

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I would guess so. And for the rest of you, yeah,

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>just don't do Spanish flag because it's either this horrible

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 1>chemical irritant or it's just a bunch of vitamin B

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 1>three jens ng uh. And you know, maybe a little

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>horny goat we packaged in some sort of scandalous packaging

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 1>or at a very least like sugar and some dust. Yeah,

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's there are better ways to go about curing

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.400
<v Speaker 1>what ails. You. You know, the best way is that

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 1>using your noggin. Oh, you already know, like if you're

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're trying to get in the mood, like wining

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and dining your own mind is probably the way to go. Indeed,

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and hey, if you would like to wine and dine

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:11.920
