Smallpox! Rabies! Black Death! Throughout history humankind has been plagued by . . . well, by plagues. The symptoms of these diseases were gruesome—but the remedies were even worse.
Get to know the ickiest illnesses that have infected humans and affected civilizations through the ages. Each chapter explores the story of a disease, including the scary symptoms, kooky cures, and brilliant breakthroughs that it spawned. Medical historian and bestselling author Lindsey Fitzharris lays out the facts with her trademark wit, and Adrian Teal adds humor with cartoons and caricatures drawn in pitch black and blood red. Diseases covered in this book include bubonic plague, smallpox, rabies, tuberculosis, cholera, and scurvy.
Thanks to centuries of sickness and a host of history’s most determined plague-busters, this riveting book features everything you've ever wanted to know about the world's deadliest diseases.

批評家のレビュー
* Plague-Busters! is chock full of awesomely appalling medical history that is sure to delight audiences, and possibly even spark interest for some future pathologists.
* Engaging, informative, but also gross.
Fans of Albee's Poison will feel right at home with this darkly comedic piece of nonfiction.
An entertaining, accessible, and satisfyingly disgusting history of six diseases . . . an equally worthy choice for researchers and browsing pathologists.
A lively illustration of the perils of illness in the olden days.
* An excellent biography of a genuine miracle worker.
* Meticulously researched and compulsively readable.
This book is riveting. It is gruesome but it is also uplifting . . . What a triumph.
Atmospheric . . . The story it tells is one of abiding fascination.
