Welcome to Outbreak After Dark, a new monthly ritual within Infectious Dose, where the science stays real but the stories get darker, weirder, and yes—sometimes just plain gross.
In this Halloween premiere, Ocularium, Heather is joined by cohosts Kate and Sam, to share true “medical horror” stories about parasites that call the eye home: Loa loa, Onchocerca volvulus, Acanthamoeba, and Thelazia gulosa.
🍂 Grab your themed snacks and cider, settle by the fire, and prepare to see infectious disease in a whole new light—if you can keep your eyes open.🧠 Learn more and get the recipes at infectiousdose.com
