S1E6 - The Last of Us
Manage episode 372166518 series 3436564
Welcome to Tierah Ruins Things with Science, a podcast about infectious diseases in tv shows and movies, delivered in an accessible way for non-scientists. This is for entertainment only and is not to be confused with medical advice. Slight content warning as I swear a little bit.
This episode is about The Last of Us, cordyceps and ophiocordyceps, an explanation of taxonomy, how the fungus works, how I think it would have to mutate to infect humans, and how Ellie survived the fungus and bites.
Here’s a link to sources and a transcript.
