Ever wondered if eggs really need to be refrigerated? Why astronauts don’t catch colds on the ISS? Or what connects a fungal rash on your foot to a ring on your arm? In this listener-powered episode of Germs & Jargon, Dr. Miller and Jonathan dive into your submitted questions from how fevers help your body fight back, to the surprising science behind athlete’s foot and ringworm. It's a whirlwind of microbiology, infectious disease trivia, and some myth-busting along the way.

🔬 Topics covered:

  • ​Do fevers help or hurt?
  • ​The cold truth about microbes on the ISS
  • ​Why egg storage differs across countries
  • ​Ringworm vs. athlete’s foot—same fungus, different PR

Tune in for answers, laughs, and a few “ew” moments.
