People wildly underestimate everyday animal risks, leaving us vulnerable to the next pandemic. Drawing on interviews and field research, this episode blends epidemiology, behavioral science, ecology and risk communication to reveal the critical misconceptions that make spillovers more likely — and the practical, local actions that actually reduce your family's risk. We explain why public overconfidence after COVID created blind spots, how reverse zoonosis and indirect transmission work, and what targeted communication strategies succeed across different communities.

What We'll Discuss:
- 🐾 Healthy-animal fallacy explained
- 🌱 Indirect transmission pathways
- 🔄 Reverse zoonosis risks
- 🧰 Practical household prevention steps
- 🎯 Audience-tailored messaging strategies
- 🌍 Local environmental risk mapping
