Prominent Diseases in Early Scarborough
with Dr. Stephen Spaulding
This fascinating presentation gives an overview of the diseases that our Scarborough predecessors faced, their impact on life in southern Maine, and how our forebears dealt with them. We live in a post-Covid age when much is understood about infectious diseases, and the effective treatments to many of the diseases. But in the 17th-19th centuries that was not the case. Epidemics of lethal diseases were feared, “consumption” killed many, and even more common infections could become fatal.
