I watched the 7th episode of season 1 of The Tudors, a couple nights back.

When a plague AKA 'The Sweating Sickness'..kills large portions of the population.


There are no clips to share..but one of the most applicable scenes, is when Henry..a germaphobe in his own right before knowing what germs were..takes to his 'medicine cabinet' of that day, swallowing and ingesting any tincture, herb, pill..his doctors and attendants made available to him.

This short documentary is a definite recommend to understand how long we as a species have been dealing with these events..and how, at the time..they figured to best treat it.

When listening you know they are talking about a fever, and how to regulate the temperature of the person afflicted was the only way they felt successful at fighting it.


The Sweating Sickness AKA The Sweat..took people in hours. Not days or weeks.

We still don't know what it was.
