4th anniversary special episode: Busting Misinformation Myths

Microbe Mail is yet another year wiser! 🎉 It’s our 4th anniversary episode, and this year we chose to bust some of the wilder health myths online. Join us as we celebrate by trying to separate fact from fiction, exploring why these myths persist and what harm they can cause.

Myth 1: "Measles infection is not as serious as they all say it is"

Myth 2: "Doctors never tell you about this- the antibiotic version"

Myth 3: "It's time for that Candida cleanse"

Myth 4: The "benefits" of raw milk

Myth 5: "Hip-Hip-not so hip H-pylori"

Myth 6: Is Avian flu just for the birds?

Myth 7: The Germ theory "debunked"?

Resources from this episode:

• South African Measles 2025 update
• NICD Avian influenza guide
• Raw milk dangers and Q&A
• The "full-blown host theory" challenging the germ theory.
