Milk sickness, caused by consuming milk or meat from cows that had ingested the toxic plant white snakeroot, resulted in numerous deaths in the 19th century, particularly in the United States. Estimates suggest that several thousand people died from the disease during its peak, particularly in the 1820s to 1840s. Notably, the illness claimed the life of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of President Abraham Lincoln. While exact numbers are difficult to ascertain, it remains a significant historical health concern.
