Now typhus can be tough, but it’s treatable nowadays
The local meat market guy was in the hospital for 3 weeks with typhus... he looked like a wreck who could barely stand when he came back to work...
I didn’t eat the turkey he cut for us that day
“The local meat market guy was in the hospital for 3 weeks with typhus...”
OMG! How did he get that? How do you know he had that?
I just listened to a long interview with a guy who’s written a book about the Polish/German scientist who created a vaccine for typhus and how he managed to sort of work-around the Nazis who controlled poland that that time.
It sounded like a dreadful disease, and I remember they said it was spread by body lice, which are very different from head lice.
