E 108 - The Last of Us and Fungus Fever
Manage episode 356103926 series 2841142
In today's episode, Megan addresses the recent uptick in public interest in fungi and fungal infections as a result of HBO's newest series, The Last of Us. When the series aired, frenzied netizens were quick to take to online forums - Reddit, TikTok - to draw parallels between the show/video game and real life. Zombifying fungi do exist in the real world and the rate of fungal infections have increased in the last six years (possibly due to an increase in global temperature). Scary! But how much stock should we really put into the science behind The Last of Us and frightening fungi? Megan has answers.
