The exact number of deaths caused by the Sweating Sickness remains uncertain, but it is estimated that the outbreaks in England during the 15th and 16th centuries resulted in thousands of fatalities. The disease, which struck suddenly and was characterized by intense sweating, primarily affected the upper classes and was particularly deadly in its initial outbreak in 1485. Subsequent outbreaks occurred intermittently until the late 16th century, but the overall mortality rate and total number of deaths remain difficult to quantify due to limited historical records.

What was the cure for the sweating sickness?

There was no cure for the sweating sickness, but there were survivors. Since the virus disappeared after the 1551 outbreak, it is an illness that hasn't been largely studied. It is theorized that the sweating sickness caused massive dehydration and that was what led to death. If the victim was healthy and hydrated when the illness hit, the likelihood of survival was greater. Anne Boleyn was among the survivors in the outbreak in 1528 where thousands died in a matter of a few weeks.
