The worst problem of the 1700's were the people themselves. They had the silliest ideas about sickness that had no scientific or even common sense reasoning. They did not understand about sanitation, spread of disease nor did they practice sanitation. Some people took a bath once a month or once a quarter. They did not have modern Plumbing, proper sewage or clean outhouses. The streets were muddy with urine and fecal matter from horses. They did not practice proper handling of food and beverages. The Native Americans were very good at sanitation and food handling. They kept clean daily and they rarely ever got sick. They had superior medical practices too.
