    Summary: 
    "An award-winning investigative journalist's horrifying true crime story of America's deadliest drug contamination outbreak and the greed and deception that fueled it"---Provided by publisher.
    2012. A fungal microbe contaminated thousands of drug vials produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). The NECC was a slapdash operation of unqualified staff, mold-ridden lab surfaces, and hastily made medications that were injected into approximately 14,000 people. Once inside some of its human hosts, the fungus traveled through the tough tissue around the spine and wormed upward to the "deep brain," our control center for balance, breath, and the vital motor functions of life. The weapon: the fungus Exserohilum rostratum. The death count: 100 and rising. Dearen turns a spotlight on this tragedy-- and the legal loopholes that allowed it to occur. -- adapted from jacket
