The Milwaukee Protocol: A Rabies Survival Story
Manage episode 396030246 series 2935879
Rabies is a fascinating and frightening infectious disease. It has a long history in the natural world and stories involving a case of it rarely end on a happy note.
It just so happens there is at least one such story. In this episode we'll talk about one of the only documented cases of survival from this viral infection. We'll discuss the disease itself, how it works, how it's prevented, and how, at least once, it was successfully treated right here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
