A term for a mindless person. A tiki drink that will make you wish you were dead if you have too many. An iconic dance break in a Michael Jackson video. Laurel’s favorite Cranberries song. What do these have in common? This week on Health Wanted Laurel investigates the medical origins, and possible explanations, for zombies, and interviews Dr. Roger Byard about real-life cases of people consuming a zombie’s favorite treat: human flesh.

Plus, Laurel answers questions about if Tylenol depletes glutathione, if acupuncture is the new Botox, if a nasal spray can reduce the risk of COVID, and more!
