Cover your mouth!



Ah, spring is in the air. But wait! It's still cold and flu season! You know what that means? It means we should reflect and remember on the public health campaigns of the past. We're in luck! The National Library of Medicine has a new exhibit. It's called An Iconography of Contagion. This exhibit features public health posters from the 20th Century. The exhibit key alone is worth looking at.

Looking for a good book on disease? Give these a try:
The Ghost Map
Influenza 1918

Now go wash your hands.
