Description
How did ancient humans survive food poisoning without hospitals, medicine, or modern food safety?
Thousands of years ago, people ate wild meat, fish, plants, and stored food without knowing about bacteria or parasites. One bad meal could cause serious problems.
In this video, we look at how ancient humans dealt with food poisoning, parasites, unsafe water, undercooked meat, and spoiled food. We also explore what archaeology can tell us about their diet and survival.
Ancient poop, food remains, parasites, and old settlements have actually given researchers some surprising clues.
