Manage episode 438566280 series 3590848
With fall approaching, we can expect to see an increase in respiratory illnesses, beyond just COVID-19 and the flu. On this week’s episode of Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Benjamin Lopman, PhD, talk about what diseases to look out for this fall and the challenges of developing vaccines for certain types of illnesses.
Bristow also answers your questions about microplastics in plumbing, the health risks of wearing shoes in your home, and lice in schools. She finishes the episode with a special Sick of the Week detailing the current Mpox outbreak in Africa and why it's been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
