Yeet the Science!

Literally, no one will be surprised by the turn this Middle Ages-inspired comic takes. If there’s one thing we all know the Middle Ages ignored, it was science. Seriously, so many lives could have been saved with salt. Think I’m kidding? Diseases were caused by fleas, which, when molting, can be killed by dehydration using salt.

Now, I know they had salt. It was definitely a thing back then. Still, I’m not exactly sure when the discovery of flea control took place, so maybe I’m being a bit unkind in my judgment. I’m sure there are plenty of other ways science could have helped, you know, if people believed in it.
