Shell shock (mental illness caused by everyday bombing and horrific scenes) Trench foot (where soldier's feet swelled up and were red, raw and very painful, caused by the icy water soaking through their boots and the coldness of the trenches.) Lice and mice carried diseases and when they bit the soldiers, they passed on the disease. Some could be deadly Contaminated water was also often drank by the soldiers in the trenches, which sometimes resulted in getting diseases and flu.
