What was the health like in trenches?

Answer 1

Answerthe trenches were not healthy because their were lots of desises like trench mouth and trench food, and the soldiers did not get that much food AnswerThe trenches were not healthy at all. Soldiers were prone to lots of diseaeses like trenchfoot and shellshock. Trenchfoot was gained due to the large amount of mud and cold water in the trenches. AnswerHorrible, the soldiers were at risk to trenchfoot, trenchfoot is when water gets into a soldiers tight boots for more than 2 weeks and then the feet start to become deformed and bits start falling off. The soldiers were also at risk to trench mouth, trench mouth is caused by poor hygiene and nutrition, an infection of any kind teeth or throat, smoking, stress and a weak immune system. A few of these could cause the trench mouth. Trench mouth is when the gums quickly become painful, red and swollen, and bleed in when pressure is put on. Also it causes a greyish film on the gums, a bad taste in the mouth, bad breath or crater like ulcers between the teeth. This prevented some of the soldiers in the trenches to eat and had to be force fed.
