In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive deep into albinism, exploring the genetic and scientific basics of this fascinating condition that affects melanin production throughout the body. They break down the different types of albinism, explain how it's inherited as a recessive trait, and discuss the real vision problems and light sensitivity that come with it. Beyond the science, the hosts tackle the serious social challenges people with albinism face—from bullying and stigma in everyday life to heartbreaking dangers in certain parts of the world where dangerous myths about their bodies persist.
