Yes, I'd run across the Vampires in NE research - this is an excellent explanation of the background of the misunderstandings. Love the illustrations you've used! It can be difficult to realize a time when diseases were poorly understood, and almost impossible to cure.

Absolutely! Plus, a lot of our cures are very recent in the overall timeline of life. Even penicillin isn’t even 100 years old! Which is crazy when you think about the ancestors who came before us. Thanks for reading!

Fascinating. I was aware of the basics but did not realize it was this widespread or lasted this long.
