    More dysentery also… like a LOT more dysentery. So much so that people open believed your soul exists in your lower abdomen because when you feel pain there you sie shortly after.

    Wow that’s a lot of dysentery.

    Sorry your point lacks proper context based on reality.

      That’s really a western Europe thing and American thing. Even then no where near as much as you’re suggesting, not for the last 10k years or so at least. Beer/wine taking over and replacing water drinking unironically eliminated most of that, and in other cultures sanitation prevented it. English serfs had a lot of dysentery though, since they were too stupid to use Roman infrastructure.
