Day Two for Imaginary Life Three, History Teacher:
Last week I did some research on yeast and its history with humans, bread and beer. Today I'm looking at hysteria. Reading through this hefty chuck of text.
- Ancient people believe the uterus moved around and it made ladies crazy.
- The two main treatments at the time were 1.) "fumigations" localized to parts of the body to scare the uterus straight and 2.) sex with strong young men. *shudder*
- Later it would seem the treatments change to no sex and lots of laudanum, an alcoholic solution containing morphine. Woof.
- Then this chick from the Middle Ages is like "Ladies are ashamed to talk about Lady problems and so they get crazy!"
-Also this: Oh man....
Gust - keen delight

First step out the door
and a strand of spider silk
