Sand posed a health threat in ancient Egypt primarily due to its role in respiratory problems. The fine particles, when stirred by wind or human activity, could cause dust storms that led to inhalation issues, particularly respiratory infections and chronic lung diseases. Additionally, sand could contaminate water sources, exacerbating health risks associated with dehydration and waterborne illnesses. The harsh desert environment also contributed to skin irritations and other health complications.
