Check out the new 50-minute Crash Course on human responses to tuberculosis:
Have you ever wondered about what stops a disease from going global? Well pack your bags, because we’re taking a world tour to visit seven of the most regional diseases out there, from Guinea worm to an Australian form of rabies, to learn just what it is about them that keeps them from wandering off. For some reason, this wasn’t a very popular package from the travel agent.

OK, I think this is one of those times where ignorance is bliss.
I don't need to know about these rare diseases – now I know about some of them (I stopped after Australia, where I live), I will be constantly worrying about catching it!
I also plan on travelling to the USA in the future… So thanks for putting this worry in my mind… 😖
"Cla cla cla Climate Change… Ogga booga booo…. Give us money! " ~ Every government in the world. Blows my mind how little critical thinking people who consider themselves scientist or science enthusiast do.
To be fair to the valley fever, close to half of washington is high altitude desert, so its pretty dry and warm during the summer.
Madagascar: Shut down everything
My best friend's sister was one of those unfortunate souls who had variant CJD. As a result, her family to this day, still cannot donate blood due to being related to someone who had it
(Video moves from Tennessee to Arizona.)
Me (an Arizonan): VALLEY FEVER!
I love how whenever there is a graphic depicting something happening across the world that when that 'thing' gets to Australia it pops up or occurs in places where people aren't.
A Virus appears in the Great Australian Bight, Nuclear war, Alice Springs is blown up. ☺️
The biggest problem is not being able to work?!?! Seriously?
Humans are the real diseases and viruses of Earth while diseases and viruses are Earth’s immune system.
What do those RMSF spots look like on dark skin?
Just a quick plug for This Podcast Will Kill You. They’ve done an episode on almost every single one of these diseases.
There are some nasty, nasty diseases out there. Look up Hendra virus.
Please don't hate on bats, its not their fault and we need them more than they need us.
I'm frustrated that no where was this wonderful presenter introduced by name. Tried google, I know this isn't Caitlin. Even tried using the name of the video. She's definitely not Hank, even with Chemo Curls he doesn't look like this. Well…whoever she is, I like her humor. ❤ Wait…end credits? Noooooooo….!
Guinea worms are a big NOPE! Now they can canx the life of the Mosquito please .. 🙂 ..
Kentuckian here. That range of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is way too close for comfort!
There are Guinea warms in South Nigeria too
Marburg becoming airborne would be an unprecedented catastrophe.
I like bats! They were the subject of my graduate studies.
It's not good to overdue the warnings for any life forms. It causes unnecessary angst among the general public.
But it is good to respect any life form — especially if you are not familiar with it — this include any life forms that may be from another heavenly body.
Wow – just did a mandated training on Valley Fever here at a transportation authority here in SoCal.
How can a cave be bat infested? Aren’t cave the natural habitat for several bat species?
Why can't ivermectin be used to treat guinea worm?
Lyssavirus is fiiine, it's Hendra Virus you have to worry about here in Oz
Marburg may be spread by bats, but it's not exclusive to them. At least one outbreak was carried by monkeys.
Did she really say chaynel? A native english speaker read channel as chaynel?
I should not have watched this…
