Milk Sickness: The Story of Anna Pierce and a Uniquely American Deadly Historic Diagnosis
Manage episode 424507041 series 2935879
In the early 19th century, pioneers on the American western frontier were dying of an unusual illness. It even claimed the life of Nancy Lincoln, mother of the accomplished wrestler (and incidental president of the U.S.), Abraham Lincoln.
The cause of this mysterious illness was known to one Anna Pierce as well as the Native American populations of the affected area. This is the story of Milk Sickness, how it was discovered/rediscovered, and how it came to an end.
