In 1518, an entire town in France couldn't stop dancing. Over 400 people
danced for days without rest. Some literally danced themselves to death. Doctors were baffled.
They thought the cure was more dancing, so they built stages and hired musicians. That only made it
worse. Turns out, the town had been suffering from famine and disease for
years. The stress triggered a mass psychogenic illness. Their bodies just
gave out from exhaustion. The Dancing Plague of 1518 reminds us how powerful our minds are when
pushed to extremes. Sometimes the strangest moments in history reveal the most about human nature.
We're more fragile and connected than we think.
