As you can see in the Pictures The news spread very quickly on the top 2 picture it shows the posters that went out around the world.
Q: What kind of diseases did miners have to deal with?
That’s simple… diseases in the gold rush were painful there weren’t many doctors to help the miners when they were ill. Some were lucky they would be able to get a doctor but others died. Cholera: Cholera is an infection caused by bacterium. The main side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. Transmission on occurs primarily by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated by feces (waste product) of an infected person. This disease is highly dangerous that can lead to death. Fact: "The most common medical problem was gastrointestinal illness, ranging from chronic bowel complaints to unspecified diarrheas and dysenteries, and diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever." "The most terrifying disease was cholera. Its sudden onset, rapid course, and high mortality rate were fearsome. Cholera's appearance on the trails coincided with its epidemic years in the United States. It was particularly prevalent on the Oregon-California Trail in 1849 and 1850 and on the first third of the trip from the Missouri River to Fort Laramie."

Signs of scurvy include tiredness, muscle weakness, joint and muscle aches, a rash on the leg. This is very hard to deal with because they barely had enough medicine
Fact: The demand for lemons,apples and their scurvy-preventing abilities hit a peak in the California Gold Rush of 1849. Malnourished miners were willing to pay a lot for a single lemon. Today, California is still full of lemon trees as a result. Website: http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/food/lemons.html‘
Scarlet Fever: Scarlet Fever is caused by an infection with a group streptococcus. The Bacteria is (poison) toxic that can cause the scarlet color rash from which the illness gets its name. Symptoms is usually begins as a bad sunburn with tiny bumps and it may itch.
Small Pox: Smallpox is a very serious illness caused by a virus called the variola (say: vair-ee-OH-luh) virus. Smallpox gets its name from the pus-filled blisters (or pocks) that form during the illness. Although the names may sound alike, smallpox is not related to chickenpox, which is a milder disease caused by a different virus. Although people are concerned that the smallpox virus might be used as a weapon, this would be difficult for anyone to do. Fact: They perished in great numbers from starvation, disease, he individuals who made their way out West during the Gold Rush met with numerous hardships. After making the journey, they often found the work to be extremely hard with no guarantee of success. Further, the death rate was very high. "One in every five miners who came to California in 1849 was dead within six months. First of all the most dangerous diseases miners were must aware were Scurvy well that’s because they barely had enough food and most of the food or drinks were Coffee, Biscuits, Tea, Bread and Cheese. These foods don’t have vitamin C, that’s why it was really to get Scurvy.
However, they soon discovered that the life of a the miner during the Gold Rush was not as glamorous as they thought and hoped or as later images, such as the two eloquent paintings above, suggest. Miners had to deal with the harsh realities of what they now faced. The abundance of placer gold, or the easier mined gold, was quickly diminishing and the mountains were becoming more and more crowded. Miners risked their lives and families to come to California because they would have to deal with sudden death. If they caught a diseases, as we said earlier, in the town of California there were barely any doctors to cure them. one time a miner caught a diseases and the whole town got wiped OUT! Lots of miners lost there hope and went home as we said right a corner could be fame but also can death.
