6"Coastal Australia"July 28, 2009 (2009-07-28)
Dr. Mike explores Coastal Australia, which looks like paradise with dense rainforests and white sandy beaches. But it's also packed full of potentially painful and poisonous creatures - an ideal destination for a virologist who loves all things weird.
7"Mexico"August 4, 2009 (2009-08-04)
