The Wild Cards: Not so Contrary

Welcome to The Wild Card Podcast!  This is episode 147 of our attempt at this whole podcasting thing!! Today's episode features: Jared Eaton willing to gamble on peach ice cream, Jeff Curtis blinding us with science....and feces, and Ron Blair worrying about the Sharknadoes!! Throughout the episode, you'll hear the three of us discuss such varied topics as: the way this podcast is about love, The Second Annual Wild Card Olympics, rampaging diarrhea, Ostrich Farms and Go-Kart tracks, the delight of free samples, Fat Mens' Shops, and occasionally we part from our tangents to discuss one of the strangest combination of disease and culture of all time: Typhoid Mary. This week, Jeff discusses the history of the woman, the spread of the sickness, the way Mary was treated, her lasting impact on epidemiology!  Join us on this journey to wherever and we're sure you'll feel healthy and well as you enjoy the illest of Podcasts!

Let us know your thoughts on Typhoid Mary, how you would have handled the disease, your favorite Wild Card Olympic Sport, your favorite and least favorite Stephen King books, movies, positivity chains (encourage one another!), your thoughts about our approaching sesquicentennial, any future reports you'd like us to do, and if you, like The Ten of Clubs, Donovan Judge are interested in being an official Deckhead!

P.S.  “This I know for sure: Life is...uncertain. As a society and as individuals, we must protect healthy people from disease. We must also treat those suffering from disease in an intelligent, humane, and compassionate way. We need to be rational and keep our fears in check.”
~ Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Terrible Typhoid Mary: A True Story of the Deadliest Cook in America

P.P.S. Stay Safe, Stay Wild, and Bite the Edge!
