Raindrops Keep Sprawlin' All the Dread
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
After noticing an uptick in a rare disease called melioidosis during the rainy season in parts of Southeast Asia and northern Australia, researchers used high-speed cameras and fluorescent dye to observe raindrops delicately catapulting the microbes into the air. Jeff and Anthony react to the idea that glorious, refreshing rain itself can spread disease. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
