      I think the average age was just over 30 but childhood was the biggest risk. If you made it to 25, then you could expect to live into your 40’s, a little more if you were nobility or clergy, less if you were a peasant.

And anyways, you dont need to live a thing to know how it is. We know how atoms work without anyone ever actually seeing them with naked eye. We know what the moon and mars and the sun are like without the need to have lived there. We know how dinosaurs were like and what life they used to live without ever seeing one alive, etc.

      Yeah they also used "timing". So they'd avoid having sex until at least a week after their period - when most women are no longer fertile.
      They also used dried cat poop.
      They placed it inside the woman before sex. Idk how well that worked though.
      But they also had teas. Black and red cohosh and other herbs could help increase or decrease fertility depending on the amount and what else they were mixed with.
      And of course they also breastfed. Which we all know is supposed to lower your fertility, too.

    I feel like it would have been worth mentioning that the horrible ostracizing of Hanson's Disease (leprosy) victims is still an extreme problem. The disease is fairly difficult to catch, and yet the stigma still leads to total shunning, rather than genuine help.

    • @pinkbombshellcasing2672
      @pinkbombshellcasing2672 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I feel that it’s also worth mentioning this is not a typical “western” culture stigma, as leprosy is mostly eradicated and very treatable. Except for one place in the US. Hawaii, where for more than 150 years, the island of Molokai in Hawaii was home to thousands of leprosy victims who gradually built up their own community and culture. As of 2015, six leprosy patients still live on the island, where they have elected to stay.
      The stigma and discrimination most cultivates in places such as India, Brazil, China, etc, where leprosy is more prevalent.
      Leprosy victims continue to isolate themselves due to traditional ostracism in their communities. The problem is particularly pronounced in India, where more than 700 informal leper colonies still exist.

    • @qienna6677
      @qienna6677 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, Leprosy is still happening, particularly in third world countries and organisations such as the Leprosy Mission are fighting to eradicate it. People can be so ashamed and stigmatised they don't always seek medical help from such organisations and the physical deformities afterwards have a lasting impact, once they are cured.

      @Alias Fakename I read somewhere that modern women have an average of 200! more periods in their lives than women did back in the day. Really, until effective birth control became widely available (a fairly recent development), a married woman could expect to be pregnant a LOT. A child every 12-18 months wasn’t unusual. Add in breastfeeding, and that’s a lot of missed periods. I’m sure it was awful for them when they did have one, poor things. No tampons, Advil or chocolate. Just shoot me!

If you made it to 5 or so and survived all the childhood diseases (measles, scarlet fever, etc), you had a good chance of living into old age, certainly past menopause. So, we’d still have about the same number of reproductive years as them, say from 12 til menopause.

    Back when I was in Boot Camp after joining the USN there was a play on words and a term used for new Recruits ... they were called Rickys, as in Ricky Recruit
    ... don't ask me why
    I Boot Camp, like in college dorms, you take large numbers of people from varying and disparate regions of the country, and cramming them all together in close confines.
    Not only that, their immune systems were all jacked up on a shit ton of immunizations. The most memorable one being the Bicillin shot in the ass. If you've ever had this milkshake thick cure all ... YOU WILL REMEMBER IT FOREVER
    All these variables stacked together nearly each and every one of us came down with the affectionately term Ricky Crud
    With symptoms ranging from fevers up to 104 or 105 in some instances. It is the worst you've ever felt. Made COVID look like a tickle in your throat.
    Long set up ... middling payoff

    I love the humor and references to places in Central Florida in the video. Lol! I assume the narrator of the video lives there. I live in St Augustine and there is a lot of Cemetaries with people buried who died of Yellow Fever epidemics back in 1800's. That epidemic was caused by a boat with an infected crew coming from Cuba.

    The disease called “leprosy” in the Bible (in English translations) is thought not to have been the same “leprosy” we now call Hansen’s disease. Ancient “leprosy” was probably a nonspecific term for a variety of skin diseases.

    Yup, every single time, my grandchildren are here, they go home, and I get sick, schitt, a few months ago I even ended up with a broken hand, all because my granddaughter slipped out of my hand and took off running, down hill, towards the road and I was sooo scared, I took off after her, tripped her, into the neighbors yard and I somehow landed in the road, with my ring finger pointing up, thankfully I'm not stupid and set it back in place, while my adrenaline was up there, I went to hospital the next day and yup, broke my ring finger bone, in my hand, in two spots
