The summer on medieval era, it almost always came with a huge shortage in terms of food. Wheat stocks used to run out very soon, so farmers used the rye they stored from previous crops.
The main problem with all this is that on many occasions it was contaminated with ergot, a kind of fungus that produces alkaloids, which affect the human system.
At first the symptoms are mild; a person suffering from ergot poisoning can expect fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. As the poisoning gets worse, it can throw people into convulsions. St. Anthony’s Fire comes on when the ergot causes vasoconstriction in the outer limbs. Blood vessels shrink, depriving the limbs of necessary oxygen and nutrients, and letting them essentially die and rot while still on the body. Just as a bonus, ergot poisoning can suppress the immune system.
The largest outbreak, though, happened in France in 944. Forty thousand people across France died before the epidemic abated.

Scottish politicians agree with Third World activists that removing the genital tissue of children is the equivalent of women having genital piercings and it's therefore racist to stop minorities cutting off their daughter's labia.
"A law to tackle female genital mutilation is racially motivated because it excludes intimate piercings and cosmetic surgery, black and Muslim campaigners have claimed.
Proposals to seize passports and detain anyone suspected of the practice have angered Africans and Muslims in Scotland who fear that they are being racially profiled.
Genital mutilation has been carried out for more than 5,000 years in different cultures and religions and still occurs in 30 countries, including Egypt, Ethiopia and Indonesia. It is usually conducted on young girls and ranges from removing all or part of the clitoris and labia, which are considered “unclean” in some cultures, to sealing the vagina to maintain virginity or fidelity. It can also cover practices considered less harmful such as pricking or scraping the skin.
Ministers want to give courts powers to protect anyone at risk of mutilation, which is thought to be extremely rare in Scotland. The government has been consulting on its Female Genital Mutilation (Protection and Guidance) (Scotland) Bill.
Saffron Karlsen, a sociology lecturer at the University of Bristol, sought the views of minority communities on FGM policies. She told MSPs: “Some of the participants in our research felt very strongly that there was evidence of racial profiling going on within the provision of safeguarding protection . . . people in our study felt that they were being identified because they were Muslim or because they were African, regardless of any established level of risk to their children and questioned why piercings and cosmetic labiaplasty on young girls were not being criminalised.
She also questioned a study suggesting that 137,000 women and girls were affected by FGM in Britain, saying that this was calculated by simply counting the children born to mothers from countries where ritual cutting is practised.
