Thanks. I was eating breakfast. Was.
I got sick in Damascus once but didn't get it 100% taken care of until six months later. The doctor told me that I had a bug with a name about 10 inches long. He gave me medicine for it...and MY HUSBAND had to take the medicine too because that particular dysentery was sexually transmittable.
I was convinced that for those folks who survived the bugs of the middle east, NOTHING short of a silver bullet will kill them. Yuck. What a place Jesus chose to be born in...the middle east. Yuck.
Someone needs to send this to Sheryl Crow - the woman who thinks we only need one piece of toilet paper per visit.
Great article. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for posting — I think. :)
Fascinating stuff, even though I have to admit to deliberately skipping some of the descriptions of the activities of the parasites.
“and MY HUSBAND had to take the medicine too because that particular dysentery was sexually transmittable.”
Ha, I would have been safe for at least 3-4 months!...

Well, I am thinking that it has more to do with the backward cultures of many who have inhabited the area since. After all, the lands that the Crusaders came from wound up advancing in terms of hygiene.
When I looked at that beautifully preserved toilet I thought about how advanced it is compared to elimination practices still in use in many places in the world.
What’s even more cool, is that those arches are still standing!

I discovered the episode on the Medieval diet to be the most impressive of the entire series, and I’d thought it would be the least. Much of the food looked delicious!
What happened between the Medieval and the Restoration periods that made dishes so thoroughly disgusting in the latter? On the one hand, Puritanism was suggested and a fear of plague and poison and most things “vegetable”, and on the wealthier side, a desire to impress with an overabundance of spiced game and spirits.
I’d never seen Susan and Giles so sick; to the extent they were laid-up for two days during taping; after which they made their “escape” to the countryside where they were fed on more moist and nourishing food that gave them some relief!
Ick on the Restoration diet and all their silly jellies.
My dear, I'd remind you I'm at least 2/3rds jelly these days. Need to get back on exercis bike!
Ah, but you are not a silly jelly. You are sexy in aspic. :-*

I think this may have been prefigured by the Council of Wurms.
