In this episode, Dr's J and Santhosh once again set off on our lost series to discuss lesser known diseases. Along the way, they cover alliteration, Ancient Egypt, a brief history of trypanosomes, medical eytmology, neglected tropical diseases, TseTse flies, modes of transmission, Bar-Fly Trivia, disease locations, symptoms, slave trade associations, parasite diagnosis, antigenic variation, deadly treatments, and a just the tip from East Africa. So Sit back and relax as we wake you up to the realities of sleeping sickness!
