Usually in medieval times people got sick by many things mainly because they were unsanitary. People didn't have running water back in medieval times so they would dump their waste in the streets, from trash to... i don't want to go there. But people would often times get trash or human waste dumped on them when they were walking.
More causes of illness in medieval times were poor diet, coarse clothing, food poisoning, cramped places, improper storage of grain, and worst of all often times animals would eat the food in the pantry and poop in it. Then people would eat the food... (shiver) Back then they thought it was an imbalance in the four fluids. Which I will get to later.
That is just disgusting that they dump waste in the streets. I would like to know what was the leading cause of desiese
