The surprising reason you feel awful when you're sick

Title:
The surprising reason you feel awful when you're sick
Speaker:
Marco A. Sotomayor
Description:

It starts with a tickle in your throat that becomes a cough. Your muscles begin to ache, you grow irritable, and you lose your appetite. It's official: you've got the flu. It's logical to assume that this miserable medley of symptoms is the result of the infection coursing through your body — but is that really the case? Marco A. Sotomayor explains what's actually making you feel sick. [Directed by Henrik Malmgren, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by GoodJobStudios].
