What Diseases Should I Look Out For???

In medieval times there were many different kinds of diseases. Some of which we don't have today. So to start off I will mention a few of the many diseases you could find in medieval times. First off they had typhoid, typhus, cholera. Typhoid and cholera were spread by human waste which would get into the food and water supply.

Then there was Typhus which was caused by lice that was found in peoples hair. Typhus wouldn't always succeed in killing its victims but would weaken them. Then once they recovered they would be infected their whole entire lives. So they would keep spreading it to people until the victim had died. :-(  (That would stink!!!!!!)
