Hey, sports fans! This week, Aline Sandouk, Kaci Mcleary, John Pienta, and Cory Christensen talk about sports injuries, particularly football. Lately John Urschel of the Baltimore Ravens and Chris Borland of the 49ers have brought this issue back into the spotlight, as Boreland quits the game and Urschel continues despite risking the intellectual capabilities that have enabled him to be a published mathematician.

Also, why malaria sufferers attract more mosquitos, a BBC reporter eats his own blood for no reason at all, and why a congresswoman’s Facebook plea for Obamacare horror stories should convince everyone to stop trying to use social media to prove the validity own worldviews.

• Mosquitoes Can Smell Inside Your Blood
• Michael Mosley: Why I consumed my own blood
