The mass murder disease and the 500-year mysteries cannot be clarified

Although hundreds of years have passed, the cause of this strange disease has never been clarified, making it the biggest mystery in world medicine history.

Obsession for over 60 years

In 1485, after King Henry VIII was formally enthroned the Emperor of England immediately faced a great difficulty by the emergence of a mysterious deadly disease. Accordingly, the patient will suddenly sweat all over his body and die after only a few hours.

As soon as he was crowned, Henry VIII was faced with a terrible disease that raged all over the place.

Initially, King Henry mistakenly thought it was a form of plague. So, he ordered the distribution of drugs to the people. However, when conducting the examination and symptom comparison, physicians recognize that the disease is rife with nothing to do with plague.

According to the remainder of the document, the victim of this strange disease often begins with a vague sense of fear, followed by chills, dizziness, and headaches. Shortly afterwards, terrible pain will appear, focusing on places such as the neck, shoulders, hands and feet, leaving the patient tired.

The chills continued, lasting about half an hour to about three hours. In the end, the patient's body suddenly changed to a full-body fever. Their sweat swells like a bathing shower, along with other manifestations like headaches, delirium, heart palpitations.

Too much sweat loss and so fast that the patient is always thirsty, but no matter how much water they drink, perspiration continues to pour out, the patient is exhausted quickly and falls into coma and death.

According to the records of the British Royal Physicians at that time, the few lucky survivors also suffered heavy mental damage. In particular, their immune system is completely destroyed, causing these people to eventually die a few years later because of common diseases.

England is not the only place to suffer this devastating devastation. From London, mysterious disease gradually spread throughout Europe.

While the top European physicians are unable to find the cause of the disease and the treatment, it is always hidden. Starting to appear for the first time in 1485 and suddenly disappearing without trace in 1551, for more than 60 years, it raged across the continent, causing death for tens of thousands of people.

Mystery for 5 centuries

The disease with strange symptoms caused tens of thousands of deaths.

The strange thing is that this anomalous disease only attacks adults but not children. The youngest case was recorded as an 18-year-old boy.

Over 500 passed, through the recorded medical records, modern medicine did not find a connection between this mysterious disease and any other diseases known as pneumonia, dengue fever. or cholera .

At first, when a new epidemic occurred, the first question focused on Henry VIII's army when it was thought to carry pathogens from the polluted environment in the battlefield. However, many people who do not have contact with these subjects still suffer from the disease, indicating that unsanitary conditions are not the agents of this pandemic.

In addition, other factors such as ticks, lice, mosquitoes . that carry diseases from the natural environment to humans are also gradually eliminated because there is no convincing evidence.

As such, this horrifying pandemic has always been a research goal of scientists over many periods. However, today, what is left is only records, there are no patient samples, so modern analytical techniques cannot help either.

And so far, this is still one of the mysteries not answered in the history of human medicine.
