he's another good one
they didn't even understand how diseases worked completely. Not like they loaded up on diseases for biological warfare in case they encountered someone. Hell they were looking for India, not America
They knew smollpox was a thing
They didn't know America was a thing
yeah but they didn't know how microbes and transmission worked
germ theory wasn't a thing
hmmm
Sanitation didn't exist
That's why the black death was so bad, they didn't know how diseases worked
They knew it was a thing, yes, but the fact that the natives of the Americas had 0 resistance to it wasn't a thing
heck, did they even know what caused and how to prevent scurvy ?
Some of them did
Scurvy was first "cured" in 1497 apparently
The vikings did
They figured out Scurvy eventually, hence why the British were called Limeys, becayse they used limes for Vit C
...that's actually a pretty cool fact, didn't know that
maybe the british being that better at sea than other nations was because of that fact too
I'm full of info that is normally useless but entertaining at certain times 😂
