Greetings Arthro-Pod listeners! This week, Michael introduces us to yellow fever. Specifically, we cover the first major outbreak of the disease in the United States in Philadelphia in 1793 and the broader history of yellow fever in the United States through the 1800s. This sets the stage for the story of Walter Reed and his discovery that yellow fever is transmitted by mosquitoes, which quickly led it it's eradication from Cuba and elsewhere in the world. We first discussed yellow fever in episodes 89 and 91, which can be found on Archive.org. Questions? Comments? Get the show through Apple Podcast, Spotify, or your favorite podcatching app!
