Best Answer

Many rather vague and poorly defined ideas about the origin of disease existed before the introduction of the germ theory. Disease was attributed to bad air (as in malaria, meaning bad air) or from an imbalance of "humours" meaning certain essential bodily fluids, of which you could have too much or too little. Many mystical attributions also existed; evils spirits, witches, malevolent deities, astrological influences, etc.
