If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat — diseased tissue — rather than being the cause of the diseased tissue; e.g. mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but don't cause the pool to become stagnant. - Rudolph Virchow, Father of Pathology

🧠 Memory Hole 🕳️
Do you have source for more about Virchow? I'm actually giving a speech today in Toastmasters. It started off talking about this very topic, though it has morphed. I'm limited on time for this speech, but it's all part of a bigger project or speech.
I haven't done any research into Virchow specifically, but I'm sure there is more that can be learned from him.
