Happy (late) Valentine's Day! I wanted to discuss a bit of history behind the holiday for those interested and I though this would be a great time to discuss...parasites! Also, one such parasite is spread by a critter called the Kissing Bug, so thats fun. These particular bugs spread the parasite that causes Chaga's Disease which has affected mainly Central and South America, but is becoming a problem elsewhere as well. The bug and the illness has a long history and involves such characters as Charles Darwin. Another parasite we are discussing is transmitted via the painful bite of the tsetse fly and is found in various parts of Africa. This parasite causes African Sleeping Sickness (there are two types in humans, basically). So lets learn about these parasites, their vectors, and the history behind these diseases as well as the symptoms, current status, and treatments. Also, lets learn how to avoid parasites...actual ones and, well, those among the human population ;)Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Have you heard about the kissing bug disease? This week Tara and Laura welcomed Dr. Robert Glass to talk about the Chagas disease that is caused by the kissing bug. They discussed how dangerous this disease is, especially in the south, and how a majority of dogs are actually infected without the owner's knowledge. There are so many things out there that can harm our dogs, they were honored to have Dr. Glass on to help dog owners know what they can do.

This week's episode is the first in what I hope will be a series featuring vocalists who performed with Duke Ellington, Today's artist is the playful and sophisticated Joya Sherrill (20 August 1924 – 28 June 2010) who, by a series of happy “accidents,” became one of the best-remembered and most enduring of Ellington's songsters while still a teenager. For she was not only a musically- and vocally-gifted singer, she was also a lyricist and composer. She herself composed the lyrics to the Billy Strayhorn classic “Take the ‘A' Train,” as well as another Ellington standard, “Kissing Bug,” she also was the first singer to record “I'm Beginning to See the Light” and numerous other Ellington and Strayhorn standards. Though she left the Ellington Orchestra before 1950, she continued to appear with them in various projects, including his 1957 television extravaganza A Drum Is a Woman (alongside soprano Margaret Tynes), and My People, his 1963 extravaganza commemorating the centenary of the Emancipation Proclamation. She also performed with the Benny Goodman Orchestra on their 1962 tour of Russia, and was the first African American host of a children's television program, Time for Joya (later renamed Joya's Fun School) which began in 1970 and ran in reruns until 1982 on local New York television. In this endeavor she was assisted by another powerhouse Black musician, Luther Henderson, who also arranged and conducted her altogether individual 1959 studio album, Sugar and Spice, which put a sophisticated spin on old Mother Goose rhymes. As late as 1994 she continued to perform and record the music of Duke Ellington and others. Here is an artist whose combination of élan and exuberance is well worth rediscovering and celebrating. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

This monster is somewhat missed named. The only kissing it does is biting you near your mouth and pooping on your face at night. The kissing bug also spreads a deadly parasitic disease prevalent in south and central America. The microbes, named "Trypanosoma cruzi" crawl in through the bite wound left by the kissing bug, or through your mouth when you scratch and spread the feces. Kissing bugs are gross and dangerous because the parasite they carry causes "Chagas disease" which can scar your heart tissue. Chagas disease can go unnoticed for years... Do you have kissing bugs in your walls? Today we learn 5 Gross Kissing Bug Facts. This is a "Square YouTube Short".

The book recently won a PEN/Jean Stein Book Award and the National Book Foundation Science + Literature Award. Today, James and Sharon catch up with Daisy to reflect on the past two years of the pandemic, her practices of equanimity, and how she finds refuge in times of war.

New York Times journalist and author of the memoir A Cup of Water Under My Bed, Daisy Hernández, joins Zibby to talk about her latest book, The Kissing Bug, which was inspired by her own family's story. After watching her aunt endure a painful yet unnamed disease for decades, Daisy spent seven years researching and uncovering the facts of the invisible Chagas disease.

In this episode, I speak with writer, spiritualist, activist, and professor, Daisy Hernandez, about how the we work we do within ourselves affects our actions on the outside, especially in the wake of growing protests sweeping our nation that call for justice in the murder of George Floyd and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Our spiritual identities don't have to be separate from activism. Neither do our writing or our cultural identities as women of color have to be separate. They all can actually be one and the same. If action is enacted from a place of love, from a groundedness in ourselves, then perhaps that action can help change the world. At one point, we discuss perception and perspective. If our perceptions create the narratives of what's happening around us, how can we be more intentional about how we see things, especially in mainstream media? What aren't we seeing? And can we bring those things to light? It is also important to understand that sometimes BEing is more important than doing. Who are you BEing? How are you BEing? “As women of color, the fact that we exist is already a political act.” Take a listen to this rich conversation that I hope brings you encouragement! // Hafiz's “Now Is The Time” and Minal Hajratwala's Facebook post that begins “I love the young women walking out calmly…” // Find Daisy here: daisyhernandez.com // Her new book, In Search of the Kissing Bug, is coming out from Tin House Press next Summer 2021!

It’s a rare individual who passes an entire lifetime without breaking a bone. Accidents happen, and trauma can occur with such force that even bones may be damaged. Injuries to bones present in the form of breaks in the skeletal structure called “fractures”. In the U.S., it is estimated that the average person will experience two fractures during their lifetime, not including broken teeth. The Altons tell you all about the different types of fractures, how a bone heals, and much more you didn't know about treating a break. Also, a special report on Kissing Bugs. No, not kissing bugs, as in how to kiss bugs, I mean kissing bugs, an invasive species from south of the border that is now found here in Tennessee and as far north as Pennsylvania and Illinois. They cause a potentially fatal infection called "Chagas Disease". Dr.Alton, aka Dr. Bones, tell you all you need to know about the insect and the parasite it carries that can get you sick. Medics in areas of conflict are always at risk for violence. There are circumstances where non-military personnel on humanitarian missions become targets in times of “peace”. This is currently the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo; health workers combatting the Ebola epidemic there are being attacked and looted by armed groups under the control of local warlords. Recently, a World Health Organization (WHO) physician, Dr. Richard Mouzoko Kiboung, was killed at a treatment center. Would you be safe if you were the medic in a world without the rule of law? All this and more in the latest Survival Medicine Hour with Joe and Amy Alton!

With Zika in the news, it seemed like a good time to examine the vector borne diseases making headway here in the U.S. In addition to Zika, we need to pay attention to Dengue Fever. Like the West Nile virus and yellow fever, these viruses are spread by the Aedes mosquito - most often Aedes aegypti. But don't think mosquitoes are the only issue. The Kissing Bug, which isn't nearly as sweet as it sounds, is responsible for the increasing burden of Chagas disease in the southern states. Without giving away their secret, let me just say you might not want to listen to this episode right before bedtime. Note: This episode was recorded in mid-February. Our understanding of Zika, and its impact on the U.S. is rapidly evolving. Please keep an eye on the CDC pages linked below for the most current information.
