Plague Doctor Masses

The design of those later plague doctor masss was more about purifying bad air and keeping bad air from touching your skin. Yet, one thing thits kind of difficult to understand. It seems like they didn't understand fully that diseases were being caused by tiny muno life forms that were replicating within their bodies. There were some people who had some form of an idea of con hagen a though the transmission mechanism itself might have been obscure to them. And so this might have inspired some of these full body coverings you see with the plague doctor outfits.
