2026.03.27/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_disease_and_epidemics : "Historians agreed that when colonists
settled for the very first time at Jamestown, it was one of the coldest periods for the last 1000 years, while the area of
Roanoke suffered the largest drought of the past 800 years. The shortage of foods led the colonists to came into conflict with
the indigenous population. Such conflicts and cold weather contributed much to the spread of diseases; as colder weather
helped the parasite cells of malaria which carried by those European settler hosts, who further transmitted by local
mosquitoes to develop faster. Those malaria spread into Native Americans, causing many deaths among them.[45]",
"Since there were numerous outbreaks and all were not equally recorded, historical accounts of epidemics are often vague or
contradictory in describing how victims were affected. A rash accompanied by a fever might be smallpox, measles, scarlet
fever, or varicella, and many epidemics overlapped with multiple infections striking the same population at once, therefore
it is often impossible to know the exact causes of mortality (although ancient DNA studies can often determine the presence
of certain microbes).[50] Smallpox was the disease brought by Europeans that was most destructive to the Native Americans,
both in terms of morbidity and mortality. The first well-documented smallpox epidemic in the Americas began in Hispaniola in
late 1518 and soon spread to Mexico.[39]",
"Native Americans initially believed that illness primarily resulted from being out of balance, in relation to their
religious beliefs. Typically, Native Americans held that disease was caused by either a lack of magical protection, the
intrusion of an object into the body by means of sorcery, or the absence of the free soul from the body."
