Health in Medieval Rome

        In the early medieval times the health and cleaness was not that well. To start off most of the people usually died of little infections and small viruses, that would now days be cured in seconds. The average life spand for a normal medieval person was 40 years old, and most children were lucky to reach age 20....young right? I  know why most people died so easly because most of the medicine was based on folklore, religious beliefs, and all of this stuff was put together with no medical knowledge at all...i wouldn't trust it. Medicine were mainly based on herbs but sometimes spells and charms. The medieval's believe that stars would affected their health therefore alot of cures they had did wayy more harm than good. So basicly medieval medicine and health was all a joke.
       I would say the doctors were pretty crazy too. The docotors would wear silly costumes to show that they knew about the danger of infections. the beak they would had lots of strong smelling herbs in it that they hoped would clean the air they wak in so they could have breathable air. Also the suit they would wear would cover their whole body. On the mask of the suit the they had flabs to cover their eyes for protection form the infections that were everywhere. Crazy uniforms right well thats what they thought helped back then so, so be it.
      Now lets go over the hygiene of the medieval's. The people were never aware of the threat of all the nasty germs and infections that surrounded them everyday. The town's people would dump all there toielt content in the well and the draining system which would make them stink and pollute very quickly. Therefore disease and once again infections could and would spread very quickly amoung the town's people. The crazy people would also throw their rottened food and waste right in the middle of the streets. Of course they had street cleaners but they would only waste their time to clear paths for horses and carts to come threw. Another horrible fact is that the people would share their homes with farm animals... yuck ca you imagine. They would only have fences to speperate the animals form the people. This mad it a wonderful place for germs to live, breath and duplicate. The craziest thing about it is the people were use to the bad smell of the animals, rotting food and the waste in the drains. I mean can you say hard life i don't know how i would live like that.
