Both trench foot and trench mouth were severe conditions faced by soldiers in World War I, but trench foot was generally considered worse due to its debilitating effects. Trench foot resulted from prolonged exposure to cold, wet conditions, leading to tissue damage and potentially necessitating amputations. Trench mouth, while painful and debilitating due to severe gum infections, did not typically result in physical loss of limbs. Ultimately, trench foot had more immediate and life-altering consequences for soldiers.
