About this listen
If you’ve ever found yourself muttering the phrase “this job is killing me,” take a moment to be grateful you mean it metaphorically and not literally. In this episode of Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow dives into forgotten occupational diseases—from jobs that turn you yellow to jobs that melt your face off.
She’s joined by guest Linda Forst, MD, to explore workplace safety today, in the United States and around the world.
In the Q&A, Bristow talks about the concept of herd immunity and how vaccines protect both the vaccinated and unvaccinated, confirms that coffee enemas aren’t the answer you’re looking for, and, just in case you had finally forgotten about the disturbing content of our “Neglected Tropical Diseases” episode, gives the "Sick of the Week" to whether or not people living in the U.S. need to be worried about Chagas disease.
For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the show notes.
