More Dumb Then Smart On Diseases

The Medieval Europeans were not very smart on diseases

Some things that they didn't know were that they came from microorganisms and things of that nature. They thought they were from demons or witch's which we all no that that's not true. Those things are in fairy tales. They also believed that God was one who could cause the deadly power of plagues among them. So they would beat them selves in a sign of saying that they are bad and they didn't want that punishment. And by doing that they spread the diseases even farther going from each town which gave any citizen a higher chance of dieing. People also didn't know that diseases could attack you on the outside AND inside of your body. People didn't become educated about these until a long time from then. Like a thousand years.

The did know however that diseases were deadly enough to kill anyone that it wanted to even though they didn't know why. Which they got it from the unhealthy things they did like chewing on a twig or never having good hygiene. They thought that they were very good with that but compared to us today they were no where near us. That's why were aren't sick as often as they are. They had no soap or toothpaste to keep there mouths clean. We are lucky that we aren't like them other way's we would be sick tons of times more unlike we are today. Were usually maybe sick twice a year. They were sick almost double that.
