It’s spooky season Dirtlings and you want to know what is way more scary than monsters?
Germs, Dirtlings. The answer is germs.
Join Ellsworth and Big Spoon as we head into the Dirtstar to learn about pathogens that can cause severe illness in some and death in others! Ellie will teach us about Ignaz Sammelweis, a Hungarian physician who suspected that bacteria from autopsies was being spread to mothers about to hatch a baby or two by their doctors (ya know, the ones also messing around in the corpses) and his troublesome journey to being believed by his peers, mental health struggles and his untimely demise caused by the very thing he was trying to prove.
Riley will teach us about Mary Mallon, aka “Typhoid Mary”, a perfect example of how lacking good hand hygiene can kill your bosses family and your co-workers (don’t get any ideas, now). Riley will also discuss in depth why Mary was set up for failure; being a poor Irish immigrant simply trying to stay above the poverty line, forced isolation and lots of mentions about handmade peach ice cream.
And remember Dirtlings: Stay Dirty but wash your hands, ya filthy animals.
