Humankind has been plagued by one disease more than others, a disease that tears apart a person's lungs and often much more. Tuberculosis has killed more people than any other malady in human history, hands down. For most of humanity's time on earth, no cure for consumption, another name for TB, existed. It wasn't until 1943 that streptomycin was discovered, but until then, managing TB was the best one could hope for. Tragically, for most, being diagnosed with TB was a death sentence. Idaho lost many to TB, but a remarkable person, Dr. Alan Hart, came to Idaho and saved thousands, drastically reducing the death rate caused by TB. Interestingly, Dr. Hart was also born Lucille Hart on October 4, 1890.
