Cyborg Roaches and Superglued Hoses | 524

Science has finally answered the question nobody was brave enough to ask: what if the cockroach crawling toward you was actually a paramedic? Researchers are developing remote-controlled cyborg roaches capable of crawling through disaster rubble, locating survivors, and even delivering lifesaving injections. It’s innovative. It’s brilliant. And it guarantees you’ll never confidently swat another bug again.

Then we move from cutting-edge medicine to medicine that should absolutely never have been attempted. A man suffering from incontinence decided to solve the problem himself by putting superglue into his urethra. Repeatedly. Shockingly, the story does not end with him winning a Nobel Prize.

This week on Hysteria 51: cyborg cockroaches, robotic rescue insects, horrifying DIY medical treatments, superglue in places God never intended, and another reminder that humanity is simultaneously capable of astonishing scientific achievement and decisions that make emergency-room doctors reconsider their career choices.
