The world's worst diseases

Storyline

Typhus, malaria, polio and measles - throughout history, humanity has been affected by terrible, contagious and sometimes fatal diseases. Erik Ekstrand takes us on a terrifying journey where he lets two guinea pigs try out some of the worst plagues that have plagued Sweden. We go back to, among other things, the Viking Age, the Stone Age and the 1950s. Every week a new disease is tested.
