I assume all healthcare workers without a mask also do not wash their hands.

"It is believed that ancient aboriginal tribes used maggots to treat the wounded and some academics argue that the practice “dates back to the beginnings of civilisation”. ... In an age of growing #AntibioticResistance, maggots are an alternative to modern medicine, as they help to fight infection by consuming dead tissue and bacteria."

Missed the #Introductions tag last time, so here’s my #IntroRedux

I’m Courtney

I recently defended my #dissertation in #medievalmedicine & I’m also incredibly lucky to have scored a TT job teaching history at a small, #LiberalArts university in Florida

I currently work on #leprosy in #Italy in the #MiddleAges &, while that’s likely where the first book will be focused, I am looking forward to branching out in the future.
Also interested in: #fiction, #cats, #coffee, #reading #fencing, & more

#MedievalMedicine ain't my jam.

Hello, Thought I'd better write this as I stumble around here, unsure of what I'm doing.
#Introduction.
I've written/edited/published mainly about #MedievalManuscripts (romance languages) #MedievalMedicine #MedievalGardens and #Health
My next challenge is to finally finish my first historical novel "Legacy" based on a 15-17 cent. journal. (family keep asking 😂).
