The Dancing Plague: A Deadly Medieval Disease | Infographics

A deadly epidemic can sometimes produce such strange symptoms that it can baffle medicine. For example, fever, cough, and muscle weakness are all easily recognized as disease, but dancing is usually considered a sign of fun and health.
However, in Europe in the Middle Ages, there occurred an outbreak of such a sickness, whose symptoms were quite rare. In this episode of “Histographics” we’ll discuss the deadly dancing plague that still defies explanation.

Tbh idk how it’s caused or think about how it is ‘-‘ but I might have a theory that it was caused by humans that something that makes them start dancing
First we have the grandma and it suddenly happend to most ppl in the town or village wherever that is well I’m just a teen so I’m guessing this it’s probably caused by some type of poison or something like that makes you dizzy and started dancing but last time drugs and alcohol all that wasnt fully under control so it may be a bit far and it effected their body to keep dancing non stop till they fall down dead and how it started with the grandma was probably like bread the one from the video that’s my theory bc soldiers have also been dancing too that’s why it’s prob alcohol

I've always suspected some form of prion's disease (brought on by tainted meat) mingled with a bit of mass hysteria. What I am 90% certain of is that the original case was definitely a misdiagnosis. I honestly believe that the woman wasn't "dancing" at all, but was suffering from severe muscle spasms.
