The Black Death: the Worst Epidemic in History | LeechFest Ep 6
Manage episode 289786099 series 2852789
As a medical history podcast, we can't not talk about the Black Death. Frankly, we're surprised it's taken us 6 episodes to get to it. We talk bacteria (and a few other prominent theories for the plague), discuss plague doctors (obvs) and Mia reveals she is a proponent of the miasma theory. In addition, we play a little game of Would you survive the Plague?
