I mean, it's crazy to think that these tiny microbes could've made such a huge difference in history. I'm not surprised, though - we know how diseases can spread like wildfire when conditions are already tough for the body. The fact that these pathogens were present in Napoleon's soldiers is like, totally plausible. It's not like they didn't have enough to deal with already - harsh winters, hunger, all that. But still, it's a pretty interesting twist on history. I'm curious to see how this research opens up new avenues for understanding diseases and their impact on historical events. Maybe we'll learn more about why some campaigns go so horribly wrong?
