American nurse Clara Maass was born #OTD in 1876.
In 1900, the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission, led by Dr. Walter Reed, was established to investigate the transmission of yellow fever. Maass volunteered to participate in the commission’s experiments, which involved being deliberately bitten by mosquitoes that had previously fed on yellow fever patients. She did this in the hope of advancing medical knowledge and finding a way to prevent the disease.
