Dreadful Diseases
Norwegian title: VitenGALskap 2: Syke sykdommer
Diseases can be incredible, disgusting, strange and thought-provoking, and in this book you can read about some of the weirdest diseases all in one place.
The author tells stories all the way back to Hippocrates who ate earwax and drank urine, up to the present day about a patient who found a flesh-eating larva in their ear. It’s gross and unexpected, but the author keeps the focus on what we can learn from all these disgusting things.
Dreadful Diseases is the second book in the Science Madness series by Alexander H. Sandtorv.
