Dancing Mania

 

Rye infected with the ergot-containing fungus Claviceps purpurea was baked in bread and ingested.

 In France, ergotism was a “convulsive” type with chorea. Victims also had vasospasm, gastrointestinal distress, and delirium.

 Initially, fingers would contract with painful spasms; the individual would stagger and complain of burning or pricking sensations. 

This gave rise to other names: “the fire that twisted people” and “creeping sickness.”

In the 17th century, Thomas Sydenham provided an accurate description of what he termed chorea minor. He also described rheumatic fever but did not associate it with chorea. It was only in 1850 that established a relationship between chorea and rheumatic disease.

Puppet Organs

                                                   Puppet Organs 

"Puppet organs" refers to the shrunken and firm state of internal organs in a body that has been exposed to extreme heat or fire. 

This occurs due to fluid loss and tissue shrinkage caused by the fire. The organs become smaller and more rigid, resembling the appearance of a puppet's limbs

The internal organs may be considerably reduced in size because of fluid loss and consumption by the fire (so-called “puppet organs”).
