Botullism I think. It temporarily paralyses the skin, and so takes away
the wrinkles I understand.

Botox is derived from the toxin secreted by the bacteria Clostridium
botulinium. This toxin causes paralysis of the nerves and causes food
poisoning, wound botulism and infant botulism. It is found worldwide.
Botulism is treated with an antitoxin.

For those interested in this subject, might I suggest reading "Plagues and
Peoples" by William H. McNeill. It's a fascinating book on how various
infectious diseases have evolved and their effect on the economies and
politics of the time. The book gives a whole new slant on history in
general. I

Hello all,
If I remember my history correctly, the plague arrived in England in 1348
(my studies are mostly of medieval England) through the arrival of a ship
with ill crew members. The plague itself came from China and spread across
the continent to the merchants of Europe who then spread it
I was always taught that it came to England FROM Europe rather than the other way
round and this would make sense as we are an island so would be unlikely to have it
just occur naturally.
Anyone got any better knowledge of the 1400s as this is not my period - I'm better on

We were taught "atishoo, atishoo, we all fall down" as sneezing was a symptom followed
by collapse.
The bodies weren't burnt - they were buried in the plague pits in lime.

Yes, I saw this program as well. I really should not have mentioned "urban
legend" in regard to the plague survivor/AIDs resistant connection, because it
is based on solid scientific evidence, or at least so it appeared in this
