Hendra Virus: We can't stop here. This is bat country
Manage episode 454783543 series 2645025
Australia's got a reputation for dangerous creatures, but Hendra takes it to a whole new level. This week, we dive into the bat-sh*t crazy world of the Hendra virus—an outbreak that started in horses and quickly spread to humans in a way that’s both horrifying and weird. We’ll unpack how a bunch of flying friends with a taste for fruit can turn a quiet day in the outback into a biohazard situation. Who knew the land down under wasn’t just full of deadly snakes and spiders, but also viruses you’ve probably never heard of (until now)? Buckle up for a story of science, Aussie Slang, and the occasional galloping horse that’ll make you say, “Crikey, I need to chuck a sickie”
