New Hypothesis Had Bacterial Conjunctivitis - Tumblr Posts
New hypothesis on Vlad III Drǎculea and tears containing blood: related to disease (bacterial conjunctivitis) and not born with the condition.
The primary insights offered by this new evidence was that the prince likely suffered from various medical afflictions. It appears that he had a respiratory tract infection but, more surprisingly, one letter from 1475 C.E. was also covered in proteins related to the retina that indicated Vlad III may have shed tears partially composed of blood. This condition, known as hemolacria, is usually caused by either an infection like bacterial conjunctivitis or some kind of injury or other environmental damage.
It is also noted: that may not be his blood on letter since scribes were used mostly for correspondence and high offical only signed name.
Further testing was conducted on all molecules that were deemed to be of human origin, although the researchers admitted that they cannot be completely sure these were left by Vlad III himself.
