00:00Top 5 brain rots.
00:02Number 5.
00:03Aspergillus fumigatus.
00:05I'm starting this list off with an opportunistic infection.
00:09The blood-brain barrier represents an obstacle to its ability to decompose the brain,
00:14so it would need an immunocompromised host if it doesn't want to be beaten to the punch by...
00:19Number 4.
00:20Atolysis.
00:22That's where a dead cell gets digested by its own enzymes.
00:26Since the rot is coming from inside the cell, no amount of embalming will protect against this one.
00:31Number 3.
00:32Amoebas.
00:35They can get a head start by infecting the brain while it's still alive,
00:39and being the cause of death before decomposition even starts.
00:44Number 2.
00:46Vulture bees.
00:48There's a misconception that these little scavengers turn meat into honey,
00:54but no, they actually ferment your brain before eating it with a side of nectar.
00:59Not quite the same thing.
01:01And before I can get to the number 1 brain rot, I have to do a few honorable mentions.
01:06Cordyceps.
01:08They're not actually decomposers.
01:10They're just parasites that hijack the brains of creatures.
01:14Microplastics.
01:16They can get through the blood-brain barrier and cause harm, but they're not a decomposer.
01:21In fact, they're almost the opposite of a decomposer, being extremely chemically inert.
01:28And metaphorical brain rot.
01:31You thought that just because this was a joke list of literal brain rots that I wasn't going to mention that kind of brain rot?
01:37Think again.
01:39So, there is scientific evidence that short-form content can have an adverse effect on the human brain,
01:45but it's more of an atrophy than any kind of decomposition.
01:49And finally, number 1.
01:52Botfly maggots.
01:54It is possible for a botfly egg to get inside of a living brain.
02:00When it does, the maggot will consume the brain matter of the host before dying without escaping.
02:06This one gets special mention because the maggot itself has a brain, which decomposes after the maggot's death.
02:13A live human brain containing a smaller rotting brain that is itself the brain of a decomposer
02:20cements the botfly maggot's place as the number 1 brain rot.

02:31Before real, Oilrius continues to celebrate a size of the human brain when it comes to death.
