swilliams 157 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Wasn’t quite sure where to put this, but wanted to share something I made to celebrate our first in-person Troop meeting since the first of March. Plague Doctor neckerchief. 😆 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

swilliams 157 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) What a strange image, right? Who came up with this idea during the plague? Someone sadistic, I’m sure. “Let’s scare the plague out of the patient.” 😂 These went over so well that I have to buy more fabric and do another batch, and the SM said he “sees a t-shirt in our future”.

RememberSchiff 3655 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Charles de Lorme, a French medical doctor, is credited with the invention of the medico della peste costume worn by plague doctors in Europe's lazarettos in the 17th century. The costume included a beak filled with perfumes and hat and vestments made of Levantine leather, all intended to prevent a doctor from becoming ill with bubonic plague when visiting sick patients in quarantine. So the medico della peste was the PPE of that time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Lorme Edited June 25, 2020 by RememberSchiff 1 Link to post Share on other sites
