Happy holidays EH Nation! 🎄 It’s our Season 1 finale and year-end holiday extravaganza. We launched this show and channel in April with a simple goal: spotlight the “hidden profession” of Environmental Health (EH) with real stories, teachable moments, and some truly unforgettable clips. Eight months later, we’ve crossed 1,000,000+ views across all platforms — and it's all due to each of you.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support in season one!

Today’s holiday year end wrap up highlights show features some of the most memorable moments of our first 32 episodes:

 🎄Early-warning signals that predicted the Chipotle outbreak before it happened: Patrick Quade (DineSafe / iwaspoisoned.com) on brand risk signals years before headlines

 🎄NEHA AEC (Phoenix) on tour + Evan Satel, actual Jeopardy champion

 🎄Dr. David Dyjack (NEHA) calling the screw worm resurgence (then it arrives), plus his crawl-space wall of rats story 😳

 🎄Chirag Bhatt (Houston) runs a bribery sting with HPD & the 6pm news

 🎄Graham Mitchell (UK): a mouse baked into a sliced loaf… and the guy who wanted a crocodile in his bathtub

 🎄Van Craesap (OH): a basement sewage flood… hiding over 600 tires

 🎄Steve Mandernach (AFDO): why indecision in government creates chaos (and the 25-year petition problem)

 🎄Bob Custard: EH as problem-solvers first (the church, the privy, and real community fixes)

 🎄Viral viewer clip: a McDonald’s fry hopper turned bio-brick (yikes)

Holiday fun: name the “violations” in the movie scene game (A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Home Alone 2)

Bonus: Behind-the-scenes at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s synchronized holiday light show
