Would this Kill Me in the 1800s?

Posted on Posted in Presentations

The Steampunk Symposium 2020 Program pages Dr. Google to ask “How lethal is this without penicillin?”

Presented by Sophia Beaumont.


Based on the popular blog series of the same name, author Sophia Beaumont delves into common disorders and diseases of today and looks to see how they would be treated in the mid to late Victorian era-and if someone suffering from them could survive.


Sophia Beaumont is a chronically ill author who fled Ohio due to an allergy to absolutely everything. She currently resides in Seattle where she researches all the way she would have died if she’d been born before 1940.
