RATS!!
• "The rats were huge. They were so big
they would eat a wounded man if he
couldn't defend himself." These rats
became very bold and would attempt to
take food from the pockets of sleeping
men. Two or three rats would always be
found on a dead body. They usually went
for the eyes first and then they burrowed
their way right into the corpse.
Dysentery
• The bacteria enters
the body through the
mouth in food or
water, and also by
human feaces and
contact with infected
people
Snipers
Lice
• They spent the better part of an
hour in killing lice and scratching
themselves. We soon found out
that this took the better part of an
hour daily. Each day brought a
new batch; as fast as you killed
them, others took their place.
