Waist-Deep in Dung: A Stomach-Churning Look at the Grossest Jobs Throughout History

After wading into the grossest animal pee, poop, and vomit humans have consumed in ´Dung for Dinner´, Dr. Virnig dives back into the muck with an equally humorous and informative exploration of the most revolting jobs throughout history in ´Waist-Deep in Dung´. From the ancient Egyptian mummy makers who removed brains by shoving iron hooks up peoples´ noses, to the 19th century Toshers who hunted for treasure deep in the London sewers, to modern day forensic entomologists who study the fly eggs, maggots, and other creepy crawlies that live on - and crawl through - human corpses, we´ll learn about jobs that deal with poop, pee, blood, medicine, and dead bodies.
