Disease in the Middle Ages
Especially when that head is teeming with head lice, as Adam of Usk reported when he attended King Henry IV’s coronation on 13th October 1399!
King Henry’s affliction was commonplace in medieval times, and lice were certainly no respecter of social status.
Filth was a fact of life for all classes in the Middle Ages. Towns and cities were filthy, the streets open sewers; there was no running water and knowledge of hygiene was non-existent. Dung, garbage and animal carcasses were thrown into rivers and ditches, poisoning the water and the neighbouring areas. Fleas, rats and mice flourished in these conditions. Indeed this was the perfect environment for the spread of infectious disease and plague: the Black Death was to kill over half of England’s population between 1348 and 1350.
As there was no knowledge of germs or how diseases spread in the Middle Ages, the Church explained away illness as ‘divine retribution’ for leading a sinful life.
Common diseases in the Middle Ages included dysentery (‘the flux’), tuberculosis, arthritis and ‘sweating sickness’ (probably influenza). Infant mortality was high and childbirth was risky for both mother and child.
Rushes and grasses used as floor coverings presented a very real hygiene problem. Whilst the top layer might be replaced, the base level was often left to fester. As Erasmus noted:
“The floors are, in general, laid with white clay, and are covered with rushes, occasionally renewed, but so imperfectly that the bottom layer is left undisturbed, sometimes for twenty years, harbouring expectoration, vomiting, the leakage of dogs and men, ale droppings, scraps of fish, and other abominations not fit to be mentioned.”
A lack of hygiene amongst medieval people led to horrific skin complaints. Poor people washed in cold water, without soap, so this did little to prevent infection. The more disfiguring skin diseases were generally classed as leprosy and indeed leprosy, caused by the bacterium mycobacterium leprae, can arise from dirty conditions. It attacks and destroys the extremities of the body, particularly the toes and fingers, and sometimes the nose.
(Pictured right: Richard of Wallingford, Abbot of St Albans; his face is disfigured by leprosy.)
Leprosy was not the only disease that could affect someone in this way: the affliction known as St Anthony’s Fire could also lead to gangrene and convulsions. This condition was caused by a fungus, ergot, that grows on rye. When the grain was ground to make bread, people who ate the bread became poisoned.
Sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis were common among all social classes. Symptoms included unsightly skin rashes, recurring bouts of fever, blindness, mental illness and ultimately, death.
Whilst the poor had to make do with traditional herbal remedies and superstition to cure their ailments, the rich could afford to pay physicians.
Employing a physician did not however ensure that the patient would recover. The success of any treatment was largely down to luck; indeed, many of the ’cures’ appear quite bizarre to us today.
It was quite widely believed that the body had four ‘humours’ and if these became unbalanced, you became ill. A patient’s urine was used to determine whether there was indeed an unbalance. Bleeding (with or without leeches), sweating and induced vomiting were the remedies of choice to re-balance the humours.
Even the princely sport of jousting was not without its dangers – and not just broken limbs. For example, King Henry IV is believed to have suffered from seizures, perhaps as a consequence of repeated blows to the head received whilst jousting in his youth.
Crusading could also be bad for your health: wounds, infections, disease and broken bones were just some of the hazards to be faced in the Holy Land.
Should an unfortunate patient require an operation or amputation, this would be carried out by a ‘surgeon’, often a butcher or barber by trade, and would be performed without anesthetic. As the instruments were not sterilized, post-operative infections were often fatal.
A reminder of the horrors of medieval surgery survives to this day: the red and white barber’s pole traditionally found outside a barber’s shop dates back to the Middle Ages. Its red stripe represents the blood spilled and the white stripe, the bandages used during an operation.

Reviews for "The Magic Touch: Enhancing Pet Grooming with Igroom Majic Mist"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Igroom Majic Mist. I thought it would help make my dog's fur softer and more manageable, but it did nothing of the sort. Not only did it not provide any noticeable improvements, but it also left a sticky residue on my dog's fur that was difficult to remove. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
2. John - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Igroom Majic Mist, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. While it did help detangle my dog's fur to some extent, it left a strong chemical smell that was unpleasant for both me and my dog. Additionally, I found that the mist was not evenly distributed and left certain areas of my dog's fur feeling oily and weighed down. I ultimately switched to a different product that worked much better for my dog's grooming needs.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I have used other Igroom products before and had good experiences, but the Majic Mist was a letdown. It did not provide the advertised benefits of reducing shedding and controlling static, and I didn't notice any improvements in my dog's coat texture either. Furthermore, the spray nozzle on the bottle was faulty, making it difficult to apply the mist evenly. Overall, I was disappointed with the performance of this product and would not repurchase it.
4. Mike - 1 star - The Igroom Majic Mist was a waste of money for me. Not only did it fail to improve my dog's coat, but it also caused skin irritations and itching. My dog became very uncomfortable after using this product, and it took a while for the irritation to subside even after discontinuing its use. I would caution others to be wary before trying this product, especially if your dog has sensitive skin.
