Presented by Anthony Smith 4: A Bite from the Jungle
The Brazilians punching holes in the forests of the Amazon
Basin find that holes are being punched in them. The insects that bite them often carry diseases, such as the dreadfully disfiguring leishmaniasis. Anthony Smith follows the medical pioneers of the Amazon and takes a few bites from the extraordinary produce that makes the forest a little healthier than it otherwise might have been.
