Pip believes that: “Everyone, or everything, can teach you something” and that “teachers” may come in strange forms - even a flesh eating parasite. We just have to listen. Leishmaniasis, despite being the second largest parasite killer after malaria, is also a massive neglected tropical disease and treatment options are archaic. In this witty, powerful and at times graphic talk Pip shares the lessons her flesh eating parasite has taught her, and that we can all learn from.
