trench fever was a moderatley serious disease caused by lice. It was a particularly painful disease that caused sudden pain (i.e. joint pain, muscle pain, rashes, severe headaches ) and was followed by high fever. soldiers with trench fever had to be sent away from the trenches to recover as it was highly contagious and it was also pretty impossible to recover in the trenches unhygienic conditions. Recovery could take up to 12 weeks
