U3A CommunitiesBefore Penicillin: Treating Infections in the ‘Olden Days’
🗓️ Start: Wed 8 Jul 2026 10:30 am
⏳ End: Wed 8 Jul 2026 12:00 pm
Few would argue that the discovery of penicillin, and the antibiotics revolution that followed, was one of the most far-reaching breakthroughs of twentieth-century medical science. But infection treatment itself has a much longer pedigree, stretching back hundreds or even thousands of years. And it’s that story – of mysterious moulds and improbable potions (some of which even worked!) – that Mike Trevethick of Thanet u3a will be sharing with us this month. It’s a tale of daring over dogma – and some lucky breaks along the way – so why not join us for this fascinating trawl through the history books.
