Hey! We're Salem (Raluca in the early episodes) and Mia, and we're a medical scientist and a historian who put their brains together to create this medical history podcast! We make content about anything we find interesting that is at the intersection between medicine/ medical science and history, with a queer and/ or social justice flair.

The Pox of the Monkey | LeechFest Ep 30

This month's episode is about monkeypox. We talk about the virus, symptoms, transmission, a brief history and its links with the LGBTQ community, as well as a look into the future. Is it the next HIV epidemic? Is it the next Covid? Listen to find out! P.S. In the treatment section, Salem states that there are no approved treatments specifically for monkeypox, and rather that there are certain antivirals that were initially developed for smallpox that are also used in some cases for the treatment of monkeypox. In fact, Tecovirimat was licensed by the EMA as well as the FDA for the treatment of monkeypox specifically.
