Invisible enemies have changed the course of history and killed more people than wars or natural disasters. What links Pocahontas, Joseph Stalin, Doc Holliday, Eleanor Roosevelt, W.C. Fields and two of Richard Nixon’s brothers? With names like Black Plague, Malaria, Typhoid, Cholera, “Spanish Lady”, Tuberculosis and Polio, they attack their unaware victims, leaving behind horror, death and chaos. What were some of the bizarre “remedies” employed (exploding frogs, drinking mercury)? With what weapons have some of them been controlled and what other deadly enemies might we face in the future? Join Jody to learn about epidemics that changed the world.
