In the 1700s, blood transfusion was used to treat psychosis. Oddly, sometimes it worked.
So a question for my followers: Give your best guess as to why this could have worked without looking it up.
I will answer tomorrow.
Answer: A particularly common form of psychosis occurred in the final stage of infection with syphilis. Syphilis is an uncommon bacteria in that is is extremely sensitive to temperature- so sensitive that a high fever greatly reduced or even eliminated infection with the bacteria. In fact, once quinine became available to treat malaria, which caused repeated high fevers, intentional infection with malaria was used to cure syphilis, which would then be treated with quinine. But in the 1700s, they (Europeans, at least) didn't have quinine yet.
So how did a blood transfusion treat syphilis? Well, in the 1700s, blood transfusions were not done with human blood- they were done with animal blood, usually lamb or calf blood. Since biblically calf or lamb blood was pure and contributed to the sweet nature of the animals, it was thought that if given to someone who was experiencing paranoia and hallucinations, the psychotic symptoms would decrease. This was not the case.
The amounts were usually small enough that the person didn't die. But it did cause frequent transfusion reactions. These reactions frequently caused high fevers, which treated the syphilis and helped decrease the symptoms caused by it.
Made so many errors they accidentally added up into something sort of right
FACT CHECK: FALSE
The first documented xenotransfusions (animal to human transfusions) were by French physician Jean-Baptiste Denis and barber-surgeon Paul Emmerez. In 1667 they transfused lamb blood into a 15 year old boy with fevers who was being bled via leeches and another middle aged man. Both of them survived, most likely because the amount of blood actually transfused was so small it didn't trigger a reaction.
The same year English physicians Richard Lower and Edmund King transfused lamb blood into Arthur Coga, a Divinity student described as "a very freakish and extravagant man" with the intent to make him more docile. There was no mention of him being psychotic, in fact he was chosen because he was well educated and could record his own experience of the trial. He was the one who said lamb's blood was symbolic of the blood of Christ, not the physicians themselves. He was transfused once on Nov 23 and again on Dec 12 with no change to his temperament although he did start signing his letters with ‘Agnus Coga’ aka ‘Coga the Sheep’.
Denis and Emmerez then tranfused Antoine Mauroy who was prone to running away and cheating on his wife. He had 2 transfusions which resulted in what we now recognise as a haemolytic transfusion response from inter-species incompatibility. He eventually recovered and went home. Few months later his wife brought him back asking for another transfusion as he had become violent and irrational. However he died before recieving the transfusion. Denis was put on trial for manslaughter but was acquitted as it turns out the wife was poisoning Mauroy with arsenic the entire time.
The French Parliament bans transfusions by 1670, quickly followed by the English Parliament and the Pope. Blood transfusions don't return to mainstream until the discovery of blood types in the 19th century.

Found a book that summarizes literature and literary figures in text form, and the Byron one might be the best thing to ever happen.
I’ve seen posts joking about how hard it must be to guess what internet culture is next going to find funny. As if to prove the point, here we see tumblr taking a break from Cask of Amontillado references to return to its intermittent habit of dragging Lord Byron.
Good luck, viral advertisers!

All these big companies changing their logos a dozen of times for something that looks worse every time, while the real all-time GOAT found the winning formula on the first try and then even did a victory lap with it:
Nothing! Traffic cones have nothing to do with media players. However they do have to do with the students that original made VLC. The original students used to steal traffic cones when they got drunk together and had amassed a collection of them. So the traffic cone was basically their mascot
