Konrad Marshall's July 2019 cover story, 'Jeepers Creepers', studies the flesh-eating bacteria known as Buruli ulcer, which is causing horrific wounds to local communities along Victoria's coastal towns. Konrad is then joined in conversation by Professor Tim Stinear, one of the world's foremost expert on the ulcer from the Doherty Institute, and Good Weekend associate editor Greg Callaghan, to discuss the origins of Mycobacterium ulcerans and how this "zoonosis" - an infection in animals that spreads to humans - is thought to come from the humble ringtail possum.

Discussion starts at: 27:00.
