Add your reasons, if you like!
Other people have added these:
• Yellow fever @notoverjoyed
• Scurvy @monitorchakas
• Lymph disease @wyrmalien
• Diphtheria ( I couldn’t fit this one)
• Malaria “ye olde marsh fever” @bombadilbaddie
• Scrofula “The King’s Evil” @hasturswig
Edit for all the people telling me “uhhh tuberculosis still exists”: I know! :) In fact, all of these sicknesses still exist. In the modern world we live in, however, most of these are only prevalent in developing countries, and certainly not to the extent they once were.

“In the case now suspected the father stations himself by his little one and substantially says that he will fight to the limit to prevent any interference whatever.”
Letter re. diphtheria outbreak at Santa Clara Day School, 1/26/1903. 
Record Group 75: Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
Series: Letters Received from Day School Teacher Clara D. True
Transcription: 
In reply to:
Department of the Interior,
INDIAN SCHOOL SERVICE,
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT.
Santa Clara Pueblo, Espanola, NM
Jan. 26 1902
Mr. C. J Crandall
Supt. U.S. Indian Schools,
Santa Fe, N. Mex.
Dear Sir:
It seems greatly like a confession of weakness to say I am unable to manage the epidemic now existing here, but I cannot further risk my life. I have been in the presence of the disease in every case when I would rather have charged up San Juan hill with the Rough Riders.
In the case now suspected the father stations himself by his little one and substantially says that he will fight to the limit to prevent any interference whatever. The grandmother is an old tigress whose house is a
[page 2]
den of iniquity resorted to by law class Indians and Mexicans.
I must give the Governor and all respectable Indians of both parties here credit for being ashamed of the resistance. The Governor told the patient's father yesterday that it was an outrage to oppose your will in any way when you have been the only friend they ever had.
The Governor is really afraid to tell us to go ahead I think because the people we have to deal with are utterly mean and somebody would be pretty sure to get hurt.
I have done everything I consider my duty. I don't feel it necessary to get a broken skull nor to break one,
[page 3]
which is about the only way out of our difficulty here.
A number of Indians from Santa Clara went to San Ildefonso. Indians from pueblos north of here went taking in Santa Clara en route both ways.
It seems impossible to enforce [underlined] adequate [/underlined] measures though we keep up something that passes for quarentine. The chief difficulty is that food is very scarce now and the people cannot be shut off from going to Espanola to trade pottery, work, and lug their daily apology for good. The infected district is under a rigid quarantine as I can get enforced.
The Doctor is faithful. He
[page 4]
is nearly worn out, however, with Diphtheria everywhere. It appears to be universal in this valley, in the virulent form.
It is more than likely that I have blundered in this case as I am a new hand at this sort of thing. I am ready to take whatever of blame that is due me uncomplainingly as I guess I have bungled someway. If there is anything that I failed to do, it was the result of ignorance. Very respectfully,
Clara D. True

"A HERALD reporter visited Princeton yesterday to investigate the matter and learned that the rumor had its inception in the mischievous imaginations of some of the students, who wanted to create a sensation in order to have a series of holidays."
--Clipping in the scrapbook of James M. Reed, Princeton Class of 1878, on rumors that have been circulating that diphtheria has broken out on campus, February 4, 1875

The Serum Run of 1925: A Heroic Feat of Endurance and Determination
The winter of 1925 was one of the harshest on record in Alaska, with temperatures plunging to as low as -62°F (-52°C) and fierce winds whipping the snow into blizzards that could last for days. In the isolated town of Nome, a deadly epidemic of diphtheria was raging, threatening the lives of the entire population, especially the children. With no antitoxin available in Nome, a desperate race…

I just got a T-DAP IPV shot, which covers Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis and Polio*. The next day my big toe started hurting for unknown reasons, and I have three ideas what it could be:
1. Toetanus
2. Pertoessis
3. Toelio
Hmu if you know what else it might be
*the four horsemen of baby killers. If you’re a frequent contact of the wee humans, it’s recommended often because babies have no immune system. I’m new to mobile and have no idea why this text is suddenly so large oh god please help

Nickname: None

DIPHTHERIA
Tumblr media
Rishabh has written an article about Diphtheria. The soft tissues of the nose, throat, and occasionally the skin are the main targets of diphtheria, a serious and potentially fatal bacterial illness.
Diphtheria is diagnosed through a combination of physical examinations and laboratory tests using samples taken from the throat or skin. The diagnostic tests include:
Throat Culture: A swab is used to collect a sample from the throat or membrane, which is then cultured in a specialized medium to identify the presence of the diphtheria-causing bacteria.
Elek Test: This test is employed to detect the presence of the toxin produced by the diphtheria bacteria.
Apart from providing daily current affairs updates, Plutus IAS delivers the best IAS coaching in Delhi NCR. Numerous students have already cracked the exam and secured jobs in the Indian administrative department because of our UPSC exam coaching.
