These Six Things Will Kill You By Brandy Schillace, The Great Courses AudioBook summary
We might be afraid of lions, tigers, and bears (oh, my!), but much more frequently, our worst foes come without teeth and claws and in teeny, tiny packages.
In These Six Things Will Kill You, medical historian Brandy Schillace introduces you to half a dozen deadly forces, often microscopic and invisible, that might be coming for you at this very moment.
Dr. Schillace will introduce you to bacteria and fungi; cancer, Lyme, and heart disease; and some of the ways the very environment around us is out to get us. She will also arm you with the knowledge of how to avoid these fatal elements when possible, and what modern science is doing to help us protect ourselves against them. Dr. Schillace will also introduce you to the growing field of personalized medicine and how your unique genome might dictate which of these diseases you should be giving particular attention.
