  • Summary

  • Hello Everyone, ready for another fun episode? Rachel kicks us off this week by talking about Alpha Gal. No, she's not a superhero. Alpha Gal is an allergy to mammal meat you can get from being bitten by a tick. Absolutely terrible.

    Victoria delves into the strange phenomenon of animals playing dead and what it may have to do with something called Tonic immobility. Many animals, when turned on their back, go into a trance-like state. It's truly bizarre.

    Kirk rounds out the show by talking about research that involved subjecting small lizards to a leaf blower. It's bizarre but they did it for a good reason; to learn about hurricanes and how the effect animal evolution.
