Ep 10 Yellow Fever: Is there a Hamilton song about this?
from This Podcast Will Kill You · host Exactly Right and iHeartPodcasts
Today we're talking about yellow fever, a disease with a history as colorful as its name, and a vector as pretty as a picture (depending on whom you ask, I suppose). From an epidemic that decimated Memphis, Tennessee in the late 1800s, to the development of the vaccine, to where the offending mosquito hangs out today, we'll cover everything you need to know about this disease. Like for example did you know that A. Ham The Man himself was infected?! Yeah, me neither. Let's learn things together. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
