Ep 9 Tuberculosis: A Slow Burn

Published: Jan. 2, 2018, 6 a.m.

b"Today, we\\u2019re taking a page straight out of Dickens and talking about tuberculosis- a disease as rich in history as it is in bloody sputum. We'll travel the path of an individual\\xa0Mycobacterium tuberculosis\\xa0as it makes it way down the respiratory tract of its victim and waits patiently, hidden and untouchable. We\\u2019ll learn why Nicole Kidman's skinny physique was so en vogue in Moulin Rouge, talk about \\u2018The Royal Touch\\u2019, which isn\\u2019t quite as creepy as it sounds, cover enough of Koch's postulates that you can give yourself an honorary microbiology degree, and oh so much more.\\n\\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info."
