The Sleeping Sickness
from Interesting Nuggets
Kendall tells Roxanne about "The Sleeping Sickness" — encephalitis lethargica, a mysterious illness that swept the globe from 1917 to 1928. Over a million people fell ill. More than 500,000 died. Roxanne is horrified — and unsettled to learn how little we still understand about it, even now, a century later.
