The Miasma Theory
During John Snow's lifetime many believed the “Miasma Theory.” The theory stated that anybody could contract any disease because they were airborne. So everybody thought that if they breathed the same air as a diseased person they would get sick. Many scientists during Snow’s time believed that cholera was caused by decaying organic matter also known as miasmata. John Snow didn’t believe in this theory and it led him to discovering the cholera outbreak and proving the Miasma theory wrong. -
