This week we'll be dipping our toes into typhoid. Sensationalized and memeified as it was a few hundred years ago, we argue that this disease is perhaps a bit neglected in the modern day. Learn more about Mary Mallon (usually referred to as Typhoid Mary), and a brief foray into health economics- even more interesting than it sounds.
Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @InSickness2020 where we'll be posting the gross, the historical, and more.
Next time: Leprosy!
