Franklin and Douglas Ep 90 | Sudden Memory Loss & A New Infection Spreading in the U.S.
Welcome back to the Franklin and Douglas Podcast, your go-to source for current events, wild news stories, and terrible advice you probably shouldn’t follow. In Episode 90, we dive into two bizarre but real medical headlines that are taking over the internet.
First, we break down Transient Global Amnesia (TGA), a rare condition where people suddenly lose their memory for hours at a time. We cover the viral story out of Hong Kong where a woman reportedly triggered TGA after straining too hard, and explain the science behind sudden memory loss, brain function, and what causes these shocking episodes.
Then we get into Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII (TMVII), an emerging fungal infection detected in the U.S. in 2024. We discuss symptoms, how it spreads through skin-to-skin contact, why standard treatments don’t always work, and what you need to know about this growing health concern.
And of course… we wrap it up with some bad advice, including what to do if your friends are making AI-generated content of you.
If you love entertaining podcasts, trending news, and off-the-rails commentary, this episode is for you.
