In this episode, we discuss Itai Itai disease - one of the Four Big Pollution Diseases of Japan. Similar to Minamata disease, this excruciating bone and kidney disease was the outcome of mass, toxic metal poisoning through polluted waterways. It disproportionately impacted women and the elderly. Those who became sick were known to weep the phrase "Itai Itai!", meaning "It hurts! It hurts!".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
