My dentist told me that in medieval times, they thought that the nerve in a tooth was a worm.
I think there was also a belief that larvae magically appeared in raw meat; can't remember the details at the moment, it was a video exploring the lore of a videogame [Dark Souls(?)] but in real life context.
Great translation there. Is "parasites" even something they knew about back then?
