Resumen del Recurso
1750-1900 Killer Diseases
Cholera
First arrived in Britain in 1831
Was frightening
People could die within a single day
It spread so quickly that thousands could die within a few weeks
How it is spread
Through bacteria passed on through food & water that have been contaminated by the excreta of an infected person
Effects
Sickness and diarrhoea; sufferer often dies within 24 hours
Up to two-thirds of sufferers died
Diphtheria
How it's spread
Through tiny droplets when coughing and sneezing or through contact with the soiled clothing of an infected person
Effects
Bleeding and sometimes paralysis; suffocation from a blocked throat often leads to death
The death rate was one in ten but it particularly affected children
And survivors took a long time to recover
Smallpox
How it's spread
By touch, or through tiny droplets when coughing or sneezing
Effects
A rash turns into blisters filled with pus
The blisters become crusted and fall off leaving deep scars
About a 3rd of all sufferers died
Tuberculosis
Spread through tiny droplets when coughing and sneezing
Effects
Coughing becomes constant
victim brings up blood
Chest pains
often severe weight loss
Nearly half of all sufferers died
Typhoid
How it's spread
Through bacteria passed on through food and water that have been contaminated by the excreta of an infected person or through food infected by flies
Effects
Headaches, fever, constipation and then severe diarrhoea
Up to one third of the sufferers died
Especially those who were already weak
The old
The young
The malnourished
Treating Cholera
(were all used against Cholera in the 19th century)
Burning the clothes and bedding of the dead person
Praying
Cleaning the house and scattering chloride of lime around (this was used in whitewash to make things look clean)
Smoking cigars
Using lucky charms
Burning barrels of tar/vinegar to create smoke on the streets
Making 'special mixtures' of liquids or pills that were supposed to cure all illnesses
During the Renaissance there had been a growing interest in science
This affected people's ideas about the causes of disease
By the 18th century they were less likely to blame disease on supernatural causes or unbalanced humours.
The search for a new explanation of illness based on natural causes now developed into two main theories
Miasma
Disease was caused by bad air that was filled with poisonous fumes from rotting matter
Spontaneous generation
Disease was caused by germs that were produced by flesh and vegetables as they rotted
