They made the announcement on January 23, 2024. They have referred to this time as a moment of historic danger. “This year, the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists leave the hands of the Doomsday Clock unchanged due to ominous trends that continue to point the world toward global catastrophe.” Countdown, the Finale Show Notes: The January 23rd announcement of the Science and Security Board: https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/ https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/nuclear-risk/ https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/worldwide#:~:text=Nine%20countries%20possess%20nuclear%20weapons,is%20close%20to%2013%2C000%20weapons. https://www.icanw.org/nuclear_arsenals?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAt5euBhB9EiwAdkXWOyENFzF9Rcw4CyCkeD-ubxbexrclYhy_iQrf0Bta0HfvjW6AvwvIuBoC7EgQAvD_BwE https://ee.stanford.edu/~hellman/opinion/inevitability.html https://ee.stanford.edu/~hellman/breakthrough.html https://www.nti.org/area/nuclear/ https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/nuclear-weapons?CMP=ILC-refresh https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/us-frets-over-irans-accelerated-uranium-enrichment-programme https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/real-russian-nuclear-threat https://time.com/6323059/us-china-russia-nuclear-threat/ https://www.ntiindex.org/ https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/as-the-us-faces-down-new-nuclear-threats-will-cold-war-solutions-work-once-again/ https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/solutions https://carnegieendowment.org/2023/05/04/rattling-nuclear-saber-what-russia-s-nuclear-threats-really-mean-pub-89689 https://www.icanw.org/will_putin_use_nuclear_weapons https://world101.cfr.org/global-era-issues/nuclear-proliferation/nuclear-world https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/return-nuclear-escalation https://fas.org/initiative/status-world-nuclear-forces/ https://www.aljazeera.com/tag/israel-war-on-gaza/ https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/worldwide?utm_source=googlegrants&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=GSP&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfnpqmexpLcMY3Kgo1EpbsSYGLtOrs0OOvQMPK48EMT9AOzH1qM9hDhxoCGUgQAvD_BwE https://www.cbsnews.com/news/north-korea-kim-jong-un-us-missile-tests-threat-nuclear-war/ https://thebulletin.org/2023/11/why-a-russian-nuclear-expert-thinks-the-doomsday-clock-should-move-away-from-midnight/ https://press.un.org/en/2023/sc15250.doc.htm https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50068.htm https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-u-s-s-plans-to-modernize-nuclear-weapons-are-dangerous-and-unnecessary/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=tfd_dsa&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfniXvPhGsmExdPF0TbFL-t-I1wROwuKtLzwaMVVRIf1CBqutWoXxr2xoCCY0QAvD_BwE https://gsinstitute.org/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfnrsJFQ-KeYi8Jfd1tus-ZaiPBG5eowGF0UR1lt8ClNqIFI6oVxfDFhoCfQAQAvD_BwE https://www.icanw.org/nuclear_arsenals?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAt5euBhB9EiwAdkXWOyENFzF9Rcw4CyCkeD-ubxbexrclYhy_iQrf0Bta0HfvjW6AvwvIuBoC7EgQAvD_BwE https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/worldwide#:~:text=Nine%20countries%20possess%20nuclear%20weapons,is%20close%20to%2013%2C000%20weapons. https://www.statista.com/statistics/264435/number-of-nuclear-warheads-worldwide/ http://nuclearrisk.org/3likely.php https://cepa.org/article/the-china-russia-axis-moves-into-high-gear/ https://news.mit.edu/2023/foreign-policy-scholars-examine-china-russia-relationship-1117 https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/09/11/china-russia-alliance-cooperation-brics-sco-economy-military-war-ukraine-putin-xi/ https://thehill.com/opinion/international/4358485-china-and-russia-a-no-limits-partnership-with-firm-limits/ https://www.usip.org/publications/2022/12/china-russia-alliance-double-danger-or-limited-partnership https://www.aljazeera.com/tag/drone-strikes/ Darkcast Network – Promo by Yours Truly Podcast Promos: Love and Murder Book of the Dead Sponsors: EZ Melts https://ezmelts.com/COD for a free 90 day supply of vitamin D3.

S8 E6: 100 Seconds to Midnight: To Live or Die - Healthcare in the US
4 Aug· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
Healthcare Show Notes: You can reach me on the website at www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at [email protected]. My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. This episode is going to be a little different since I’m going to give you a glimpse into my life. I normally try to keep my personal life out of the podcast, or at least limit it to entertaining anecdotes that are related to whatever topic I’ve chosen to teach you about. This time, you’re going to be immersed in a personal journey that I’ve been experiencing over the last couple of years. This story will hopefully, give you all some insight about the American healthcare system and the ways that it fails us. It’s 90 Seconds to Midnight and in one of the most powerful countries in the world, only two classes of people can afford healthcare, the very rich and the very poor. I’ve taken the link to my GoFundMe out since I’ve met my goal. Thank you all so much for donating. https://agentsync.io/blog/loa/the-history-of-health-insurance-past-present-and-future https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/u-s-spending-healthcare-changed-time/#Annual%20change%20in%20price%20and%20quantity%20indexes%20of%20health%20services,%201980-2022,%20index%20numbers%202017=100 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK500098/ https://developmentalpolitics.org/platform-of-policy-recommendations/homelessness-in-the-u-s/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw2Je1BhAgEiwAp3KY71ecsxQGxcCSgQ_9r1NC6z_hyPTyzahtd011WpvpffS2uHLdELsT4BoCRCUQAvD_BwE https://www.audacy.com/wwjnewsradio/news/national/medical-debt-is-forcing-people-into-homelessness https://consumers4qualitycare.org/medical-debt-puts-housing-out-of-reach-for-millions-of-consumers/#:~:text=Nearly%20half%20of%20those%20people,likelihood%20of%20experiencing%20poor%20health.

S8 E5: 100 Seconds to Midnight: The Dragon's Lair

You can reach me on the website at www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at [email protected]. My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod This has been my podversary episode. Three years ago, I had an idea that I could mix my passion for infectious disease with history and help others understand how governments, citizens and researchers view disease. Two years ago, I added the 100 Seconds to Midnight episodes to introduce the concept of global disaster. This year, I’m sprinkling in a bit of humor to break up the infectious disease and disaster.

S8 E4: Here Kitty Kitty: The Story of Toxoplasma gondii
21 Apr· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
You can reach me on the website at http://www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at mailto:[email protected]. My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod When I was in college, I had a Microbiology professor who swore that cats were out to kill us all. She told everyone in any class that she taught that cats carried every disease known to man and they were going to pass them all to us. Cats were single-handedly going to end humankind. Now, she knew this wasn’t true and if you’ve listened to any of my past episodes, you know it’s not true, but today, I’m going to talk about a parasite that cats carry that could have a significant impact on cat owners.

S8 E2: Brain Suckers: The Story of Naegleria fowleri
10 Mar· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
Brain Eating Amoeba Show Notes: You can reach me on the website at http://www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at mailto:[email protected]. My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod This season is called “Creepy Crawlies” and today, I’m going to be talking about one of the strangest and most dangerous among them, Naegleria fowleri. This animal is the brain eater that’s made a huge splash, pun intended, in the media over the last couple of years. While this organism thrives in temperatures above 80° Fahrenheit, it can be found in lake or river sediment at temperatures well below that. The mortality rate for PAM is roughly 97% with only four people out of 157 having survived in the US between 1962 and 2022. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350905632_Naegleria_fowleri_Sources_of_infection_pathophysiology_diagnosis_and_management_a_review https://www.thoughtco.com/the-life-of-an-amoeba-4054288 https://www.thoughtco.com/what-are-cells-373361 https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/naegleria/general.html https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/naegleria/index.html https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/infections/Pages/naegleria-fowleri-the-brain-eating-amoeba-how-to-prevent-this-rare-infection.aspx https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK535447/ https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/naegleria/index.html https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/p01085.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9964342/ https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/laboratory-biosafety-biosecurity/pathogen-safety-data-sheets-risk-assessment/naegleria-fowleri.html https://www.tceq.texas.gov/toxicology/q-a/amoeba https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/public-health/why-brain-eating-amoeba-infections-are-becoming-more-common.html https://weather.com/health/video/rare-brain-eating-amoeba-cases-could-rise-due-to-climate-change?cm_ven=PS_GGL_DSA_09162019_1&par=MK_GGL&tpcc=mktg-search-Google-acquisition&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAuYuvBhApEiwAzq_YiUAkKam_smsl0ezdn7j4gstP7QyZTDtoE5uFzjHC_5siNsBL80-DpxoCdt4QAvD_BwE https://www.science.org/content/article/repurposed-drug-battles-brain-eating-amoeba https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7783332/ https://byjus.com/biology/amoeba/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31612525/#:~:text=Though%20the%20exact%20pathogenesis%20of,pathogen%20invading%20the%20host%20CNS. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604384/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0001706X16305897 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acschemneuro.6b00232 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1440-1681.13192 https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/223910-overview?form=fpf https://academic.oup.com/femspd/article/51/2/243/888715 https://academic.oup.com/f https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/aac.01293-15 https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/naegleria-fowleri https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11684-021-0865-2 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350905632_Naegleria_fowleri_Sources_of_infection_pathophysiology_diagnosis_and_management_a_review https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Reported-cases-of-primary-amebic-meningoencephalitis-n-381-by-country-of-exposure-No_fig1_341190198 https://applications.emro.who.int/imemrf/Parasitologists_United_J/Parasitologists_United_J_2012_5_2_93_104.pdf https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-73772-5_88 https://www.academia.edu/70102030/A_Review_on_Global_Distribution_of_Primary_Amoebic_Meningoencephalitis_PAM_Caused_By_Naegleria_Fowleri_The_Brain_Eating_Amoeba https://acsw.dypvp.edu.in/documents/Study-Material/Microbiology-TYBSc/Entamoeba-histolytica.pdf https://doh.wa.gov/sites/default/files/legacy/Documents/5100/420-002-epitrends2019-03.pdf https://acsw.dypvp.edu.in/documents/Study-Material/Microbiology-TYBSc/Entamoeba-histolytica.pdf Darkcast Network – Promo by Yours Truly Podcast Promos: Rogue Darkness Hands Off My Podcast Weird True Crime Sponsors: True Leaf Market https://trueleafmarket.com use promo code COFD 10 at checkout for $10 off any order of $50 or more.

S8 E1: The Worms Crawl In: The Story of Whipworm (feat Sweet Pea)
25 Feb· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
You can reach me on the website at www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at [email protected]. My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod Today, we’re going to talk about whipworm. I chose this particular parasite because my dog, Sweet Pea was diagnosed with it a few weeks ago despite having worm meds every month. We’ll begin this story, as usual, with etiology and pathology. Whipworm is a parasitic roundworm. Its scientific name is Trichuris trichiura, it’s phylum is Nematoda, Class Enoplea, Domain Eukaryota. It’s in the Family Trichuridae, Genus Trichuris and Kingdom Animalia. The body of the worm is shaped like a whip with a long, thick handle-like structure at one end, the anus, that tapers off to a thin whip-like structure at the other end. It’s this end that attaches to the cecum, but we’ll get to that. For those of you who love my dog, she’s a special guest on this episode. She’s talking about her experience with whipworm. And her birthday party.

S7 E6: 100 Seconds to Midnight: Bees and the Environment
24 Jan· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
You can reach me on the website at www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at [email protected]. My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod Bees pollinate about a third of the fruits, nuts and vegetables that we eat every day. There are about 20,000 bee species in the world and 4,000 of those species are in the US. More than 2,000 of the US species are in decline and half are facing extinction. Today, I’m going to talk about bees and their importance as pollinators, and what would happen if they weren’t around anymore. It’s 90 seconds to midnight and not only could several ecosystems fail, but we could face a critical global food shortage if we don’t save one important pollinator, the bee.

S7 E5: 100 Seconds to Midnight: Super Eruptions
4 Jan· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
There have been rumors about Yellowstone being overdue for a super volcanic eruption circulating for years, but is there actually a timer on super eruptions? Can we predict that? And what would the consequences of a super eruption be? It’s 90 Seconds to Midnight and the earth is rumbling with volcanic activity. Could any of these eruptions mean the end of life as we know it?

S7 E4: 100 Seconds to Midnight: Global Terrorism
13 Dec 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
The US doesn’t experience much terrorism, we’ve had several attacks on US soil, but for the most part, we’ve had far less than other countries experience. In modern day terrorist attacks, the goal is to spread fear by directing violence against innocent victims. These attacks can be initiated by a government, a radical group, liberationists or “freedom fighters”. They attack anywhere with no warning making people wonder, “Could I be next?” You can reach me on the website at www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at [email protected].

S7 E3: 100 Seconds to Midnight: Global Change and Emerging Disease
25 Nov 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
I’m often asked to talk about Global Warming, my answer to that is that I do. I talk about it in almost every 100 Seconds to Midnight episode. Global Warming either influences or affects just about everything that makes the clock tick down in one way or another. Today, I’m going to talk about global warming again. Specifically, how it affects infectious disease. It’s 90 seconds to midnight and across the world, the temperature is rising. Not only are old diseases rearing their heads, but new diseases are making their way into humanity. They’re coming with a vengeance, and we are not prepared.

S7 E2: 100 Seconds to Midnight: Demons and Disease
28 Oct 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
For hundreds of years before Germ Theory was discovered, people were trying to find an explanation for the plagues and pestilence that followed them. As millions succumbed to the Black Plague, leprosy, rabies, and tuberculosis, there was no rhyme or reason for the death and destruction. They didn’t understand bacteria, viruses or parasites. Even through the 1800s, people thought that disease was caused by the wrath of some vengeful god, or a curse from an evil foe. Not only that, but they believed that the people who contracted these diseases were possessed of some demon. They turned into vampires or werewolves.

Resources: In the US: 1-800-662-4357 https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/index.html International Helplines for Suicide Prevention and Drug Addiction: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/ https://www.smartrecoveryinternational.org/ It’s 90 seconds to midnight and people from every age group, every socioeconomic background, every geographic corner of the world are being sucked into the vortex of addiction. While I don’t condone the wholesale legalization of every drug available, I do condone decriminalization and treatment. The US has begun to move in that direction, but it moves slowly and contrary to popular belief, not all people are created equal. Drug treatment isn’t available to all. Marginalized communities, especially, people of color and the impoverished are left behind.

S6 E9: 100 Seconds to Midnight: The Story of the Sixth Mass Extinction
13 Aug 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. In the last 50 years we’ve lost more than 4,000 species that are vital to their habitats. These animals played an important role in the support of their ecosystems. Some were predators and some were prey, but they all had one natural enemy: Man. As humans grew in numbers, these animals were overhunted, exposed to pesticides, and driven into smaller and smaller habitats. The land was needed for the King of the Beasts. It’s 90 seconds to midnight, and our wildlife suffers under the heavy burden of human encroachment. From logging to drilling for oil, overdevelopment of wild lands to water diversion, animals are disappearing, never to be seen again.

S6 E8: We All Go Around in Circles: The Story of Whirling Diease
29 Jul 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. I changed my mind mid-script. I decided that I needed to finish this season with a 100 Seconds to Midnight Episode on extinction. I thought that would be more appropriate, so this week, I’m going to talk about the last disease in this season. We’re going to look at Whirling Disease in Fish. Let’s begin with etiology and pathology. This will be a new pathogen for us. Myxobolus cerebralis is a myxozoan parasite. Whirling disease is caused by the actinosporean spores of the parasite Myxobolus cerebralis. This parasite has a complex two-host lifecycle. The parasite alternates between the sludge worm, Tubifex tubifex and the salmonid host. I’ve hit 15,000 downloads! That’s a big deal. I never thought this podcast would attract as many listeners as it does and I want to thank everyone for coming back and passing the word.

S6 E7: It's Not Easy Being Green: The Story of Frog Fungal Disease
15 Jul 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. Before we get started, I want to welcome my latest Patron to the family. Welcome Elizabeth! I’m so happy to have you here! I thought that since we talked about White Nose Disease in bats last time, we could just hop on over to Frog Fungal Disease this time. There is nothing like going to the river in spring. The frogs are sending their mating calls back and forth. The males are trying to sing their best songs to attract females, and they’re measuring up the other males to see if they really want to battle for the female they’ve chosen. Frogs are both a keystone species and an indicator species in their environments. Keystone species are vital to their environments. If we lose a keystone species, the entire ecosystem will fail. Frogs provide food for several species including birds, fish, monkeys and snakes. As tadpoles, they eat algae which helps regulate blooms and reduce the risk of algal contamination. As they metamorphose from tadpoles into frogs, they become more carnivorous, and this means that they eat a lot of bugs. They can eat up to 100 insects in a day. O.K., so not quite as impressive as the bat, but still, that’s a lot of bugs. The larger the frog, the larger the prey. Some species can eat animals as big as snakes and birds. So, maybe you didn’t want to hear that part, but it does show that frogs are an important part of the food chain as predator and prey. Frogs are also an indicator species. If you listen to the Greed and Avarice episode on chemical spills and the environment, I talked a bit about researchers walking the stream where the train derailment occurred in Ohio. They were looking for dead fish and frogs. You can reach me on the website at http://www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at mailto:[email protected].

S6 E6: Excuse Me, But You Have Something On Your Nose: The Story of White Nose Syndrome
25 Jun 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
Hello and welcome to Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. In the last episode, I briefly mentioned White Nose Syndrome. It’s a terrible disease that has killed off about 90% of some species of bats in North America. If you haven’t listened to the last episode, I suggest that you go back and give that one a listen before we start this one. It gives a pretty good overview of the importance of bats to several ecosystems and to people. If you have listened to that episode, then you already know how invaluable this order is. Without them, we wouldn’t have several species of plants, nor would we have many vaccines, we may not have echolocation technology. Bats have given us so much. Now, we need to think about what we can do for them. Let’s begin with the etiology and pathology of White Nose Syndrome. White Nose Syndrome is caused by a pathogenic fungus called Pseudogymnoascus destructans that was formerly known as Geomyces destructans. After close study, the fungus was reclassified because it more closely resembles other fungi from the Pseudeurotiaceae family.

S6 E5: Have You Gone Batty? The Story of Bats, Disease and the Environment
10 Jun 2023· Cause of Death - 100 Seconds to Midnight
Bats are the base of several ecosystems and without them those ecosystems would fail, and with them, several food sources would also fail, but bats also carry some of the most deadly diseases known to mankind. SARS, MERS, coronavirus, Ebola, they all have natural reservoirs in bats. Because people fear them, maybe because they carry disease, maybe they have visions of Dracula in their heads, maybe because they don’t understand how invaluable they are, bats have become targets of people who consider them pests. Now several species are endangered and that could be far worse for the ecosystems that they are a vital part of. It’s 90 Seconds to Midnight and a vital part of the chain of wildlife is coming under attack by humans who don’t understand that bats are the intermediary between human life and death. In more ways than one. There are 1300 species of bats living in almost every country in the world, some are no bigger than a child’s palm, others have six-foot wingspans. So, if bats carry all these diseases, how do they survive? Why don’t they get sick and die? This is what makes bats a medical marvel.
