@@Lenape_LadyIf it was any form of hemorrhagic fever, then your answer can actually be found within one not found in humans: epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD, which currently has this symptom. Black tongues in humans and animals can also be the secondary effects of certain bacteria and a lack of oxygen in the blood, though that is an unlikely explanation. Since the currently predominant strain of paratyphoid fever can cause gastrointestinal and skin hemorrhage already, the idea of a version that can cause the type of oral discoloration and hemorrhage seen in EHD instead (or in conjunction) really isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

The epidemic involving the Wampanoags in Massachusetts happens shortly after English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold came to the area in 1602. He explored Cape Cod and the Elizabeth Islands and even settled on Cuttyhunk for a time. I find it highly probable that the epidemic that hit the Wampanoags was of European origin - and likely that it involved contact with the English settlers/explorers who visited the region prior to the Pilgrims (who landed in 1620).

I'm a little confused as the classification of Leptospirosis as a tropical disease. I'm a veterinarian in Canada and I vaccinate most dogs that I see for lepto. I also have a couple confirmed cases each year that we attempt to treat. I have colleagues further north that see many cases a year. There are different strains of the bacteria, but we have at least 4-6 strains that most definitely manage the cold. Dogs tend to be more at risk than people but it is zoonotic. I believe it's survival over winter is likely in dear and raccoons, the carrier species, as it is not very environmentally stable. Anyway seems strange to refer to it as tropical as I've always been taught it as pretty much endemic, at least from a veterinary perspective.

Oh! I can actually answer this one. It’s because of the water. While Lepto is technically endemic everywhere, the severe pulmonary version that is considered clinically significant in humans is also considered an endemic disease with substantial human morbidity in tropical settings. High rainfall and humidity = high amounts of surface water, and Leptospirosis is transmitted to humans via surface waters contaminated with the urine of infected animals. Add that to bacteria’s habit to grow explosively in warm, moist areas, and you get Lepto being classified as tropical in the lens of human infections. While a handful of the dangerous human infections happen in rural and urban areas across the globe, the majority of them come from tropical populations or those that recently visited them.

I think Leishmaniasis fits the first one better that leptospirosis. It's a parasite that has bugs as a vector like ticks, fleas, etcétera; but it covers everything. Skin lesions rather than spots, yellowing caused by jaundice when it attacks the liver, mucocutanious leishmaniasis causes nose bleeds. It can survive in cold climates when in a person, and can be transmitted through bodily fluids or faces if eggs are present. Since they'd be using the river to dispose of waste, the entire river would be contaminated with eggs. Water getting in the eyes, nose, cuts, scrapes, or even contaminated food fits the criteria to a T

It's often said that a skillful or talented enemy deserves full honor and respect. And I gotta say that Yersinia Pestis definitely has my respect. It seems to be Natures main power card, which it uses whenever humanity gets a bit too cocky. With the ongoing events unfolding, the last thing I want to see, is a new outbreak of Yersinia Pestis, formed from a new string, which also happens to be resistant to all current medicine that can kill it. Also, what about the Dancing Plague?
@nate77905 жыл бұрын
It sure deserves respect. Actually, while doing research on Y.pestis during my biology studies (yes, I found the subject particularly interesting) I read something about a case of plague in Madagascar in 1995 in which the specific strain was resistant to all medicine recommended against it. Yet, as far as I know, it wasn't seen again afterwards (though other strains of Y.pestis can still be found throughout the island).

@@EpicB Actually if my memory serves me right, smallpox doesn't exactly exist in the wild. We manged to kill it because it only affected humans. Yes we got rid of all human cases. And yes it was kept in labs in case it came back. After an incident in a lab in the UK, it was decided by the WHO that all strains would be kept in a centralized place and destroyed everywhere else. Since the Cold War was still on it was agreed that all samples would be spilt between the USA and USSR to be kept in one lab in their country. As far as I know that's the last time the WHO took a position on it. There's little chance any further steps will be made as long as there are no incidents reported about smallpox escaping one of those labs.

funish librarian/small pox story, When I started as I librarian I was told this story about how a librarian was sorting shelves in a local history part of the library when a envelope fell out of a book. On it read apparently small pox sample or something of the sort. This person apparently did the smart thing and called a local hospital. After some research it was discovered that it really was a smallpox sample left by a local doctor. It was properly distroyed and we avoided another small pox outbreak. PS. This is just a story I was told 'apparently' it made the news but I don't know. Either way I think it's a fun story about not opening mysterious packages. Just take with a grain of salt.

Regarding Cocoliztli, I think it should have been noted that the language it comes from, Nahuatl, is the Aztec language, and also gave us words such as Tomato ("Tomatl", though ironically this was speffically tomatillos, they called Tomato's Xitomatl), Coyote ("Coyotl"), Ocelot ("Ocelotl", which wwas the word for Jaguar), and most words in Mexican Cuisuine like Tortilla, Tamale, Mole, Advocaco, Guacmole, Chili, etc. I think it also goes to show you how much the Spanish Conquest easily could have turned out differently: In history class, most lessons on it stop with the fall of the Aztec captial in 1521, but in reality there were hundreds of city-states and empires in the region that didn't cede to Spanish authority. Most of the region was not pacified until the late 1500's, nearly 60-80 years, with some parts never actually really being under Spanish control: The fact that it took that long despite the absolutely massive population losses due to the Smallpox and Cocoliztli outbreaks, and despite the fact that Spainish Conquistadors were being added by much larger armies from native states they allied with, goes to show that contrary to population perception, the conflict was very hard fought, and had the outbreaks not been as severe or Spain hadn't been able to ally with native city-states, they may have never conquered it.

I used to work with a guy who went to a boarding school in the U.K. In the middle of December, they closed the school, and sent all the students home. The school opened a year later, and found out all the students were going into laughing jags, and couldn't stop. Everytime a student interacted with another person, they would laugh when they tried to speak. At first they thought it was stress, and hysteria, but the laughing spread to another school when a student switched to another school across the country.They kept the whole thing hush, hush, because they afraid it might scary the public. The guy I knew said they laughing happened to him, but he didn't know that's why they closed the school He said the laughing was real. Everything just seemed so funny. When he was older, the laughing seemed very scary. He said that his father was trying to talk to him, and kept laughing. His father took offense, and demanded he stop laughing. This made him laugh, and father slapped him, which made him laugh. His father lost his temper, and started beating him, and laughed so hard, he couldn't stand up. At this point his mother came in to the room, and She was frightened, and this made him laugh, and laugh. First his father backed away from him until he hit the wall, where his mother was backed to the wall. They both ran out of the room. He said that he almost passed out laughing when he seen how scaried his parents were. They made him stay in his room, and his mother put food on a tray, and left it for to pick up after she left. Both his parents were afraid it might spread. It was all a big secret, and forgotten now.
