Description

First-year flu, “Metcough,” “Keeney Cough” — it’s called a number of names, but they all signal one thing: Illness is in the air. About 35% of all college students in the United States were reported to be diagnosed with a cold or other respiratory illness in the past year. On College Hill, as the leaves change color and a chill creeps into the air, the wave of sickness among students seemingly mirrors these national statistics. 

In this episode of the Bruno Brief, we explore what the science behind the Keeney Cough really is.
