Talk:Daniel Alcides Carrión

date of infection
I found both 1865 and 1885 as the year he infected himself. Does anyone know which is right? --WS 20:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

The references i found (inlcuding one from the Peruvian Department of Health) all state 1885, which would make sense because his date of birth is 1857. Being a medicine student at an age of 8 is highly unlikely. -- AgainErick 00:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

Named in his honour: Railway bridge "Puente Carrión"
A bridge of the Central Andina Railroad is also named "Puente Carrión" in his honour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peru_railroad_steel_bridge.jpg - Riggenbach (talk) 13:47, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
