Stubbins Ffirth

Stubbins Ffirth n'a décidément rien à envier des filles de 2girls1cup. Ce médecin du début du XIXe siècle était plus-que-déterminé à prouver sa théorie selon laquelle la fièvre jaune n'était pas contagieuse. Voici comment il s'y est pris:

Ffirth decided to bring himself into direct contact with bodily fluids from those that had become infected. He started to make incisions on his arms and smeared vomit into the cuts, then proceeded to pour it onto his eyeballs. He continued to try and infect himself using infected vomit by frying it and inhaling the fumes, and, when he did not become ill, drank it undiluted. Endeavoring to prove that other bodily fluids yielded the same results, Ffirth progressed on from vomit, and would go on to smear his body with blood, saliva, and urine. He still managed to avoid contracting the disease and saw this as proof for his hypothesis. - Wikipedia

Remarquez que malgré tous ces gestes d'éclats, le médecin avait tort. Il doit sa survie au fait que les fluides qu'il a utilisés venaient de personnes qui n'étaient plus contagieuses depuis longtemps.
