Emily DeVane’s Reviews > Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection > Status Update

I always seem to forget how many famous people throughout history were consumptives. For some reason my brain concentrates it to the 19th century!

I am so so excited to start a book about what I call one of our “dear friend” diseases, aka a disease that’s been with us so long it’s shaped our culture unimaginably. it’s tuberculosis all the way down, baby!!
