Typhoid: Wash Your Dang Hands | LeechFest Ep 39

In this episode we discuss typhoid fever and our new favourite scrappy lady: Typhoid Mary. We talk about the bacteria and why it's a lame pathogen, as well as it's mechanism of pathogenicity and infection, and then discuss what caused typhoid plagues and the way we've dealt with it previously. Lastly, we go over the story of Typhoid Mary, and even touch on some of the ethics surrounding her case. Enjoy!
