Waterborne & Sanitation‑Related Diseases
This individual lived in a time when diseases linked to contaminated water and poor sanitation were
a constant threat. Conditions such as Typhoid, Enteric Fever, Cholera, Dysentery, Gastro‑enteritis, Colonial
Fever, Slow Fever, Low Fever and Malarial Fever could spread quickly through households and neighbourhoods,
