The microscope was not invented until the late 17th century and it was some 200 years later when the idea that micro-organisms could cause disease was proposed.
Prior to that you a bunch of churchie morons insisting that disease was caused by "sin" and their fucking god was sending divine punishments.
Oddly, M. Terentius Varro had proposed the possibility of unseen organisms could cause disease in the first century.... but then the jesus freaks stepped in to cold cock science for 1500 years.
