They knew smollpox was a thing

2019-01-24 19:42:46 UTC  

They didn't know America was a thing

2019-01-24 19:42:52 UTC  

yeah but they didn't know how microbes and transmission worked

2019-01-24 19:42:58 UTC  

germ theory wasn't a thing

2019-01-24 19:43:04 UTC  

hmmm

2019-01-24 19:43:12 UTC  

Sanitation didn't exist

2019-01-24 19:43:17 UTC  

That's why the black death was so bad, they didn't know how diseases worked

2019-01-24 19:43:29 UTC  

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

2019-01-24 19:43:34 UTC  

heck, did they even know what caused and how to prevent scurvy ?

2019-01-24 19:43:57 UTC  

Some of them did

2019-01-24 19:44:01 UTC  

Scurvy was first "cured" in 1497 apparently

2019-01-24 19:44:04 UTC  

The vikings did

2019-01-24 19:44:17 UTC  

They figured out Scurvy eventually, hence why the British were called Limeys, becayse they used limes for Vit C

2019-01-24 19:44:44 UTC  

...that's actually a pretty cool fact, didn't know that

2019-01-24 19:45:18 UTC  

maybe the british being that better at sea than other nations was because of that fact too

2019-01-24 19:45:25 UTC
