In this episode we discuss the use of bugs (insects, arthropods, and the like) in medicine and medical research. Specifically, Mia serves us an overview of historical medical treatments using insect pulps and mashes, and Salem covers the modern use of bugs in medicine and research. As you may have heard, maggots are huge in wound treatment, but perhaps more surprisingly, helminths and spiders are also of interest to medical professionals/researchers. We also briefly mention leeches, though we don't spend too much time on them since we've already talked about their properties in the Organ Transplantation episode, so go listen to that! And remember: thank a bug today.
