infectious?

I came here from the article Hekla where the term is used in relation to poisonous volcanic ash. the article here explains that in medieval times the meaning was generic - "so they simply put all illnesses under one heading". how can a generic title be "highly infectious"? --192.28.65.210 (talk) 22:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Article is sloppy on 2 points

1. Christian apologists? Why them in particular and not just anyone?

2. Why would a famine weaken a population 30 years later, relative to other factors? Could this be editorial interpretation? 84.226.164.130 (talk) 20:53, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Murrian a name

I suppose I'm one quarter curse (plague, disease, something?) especially considering my grandmother married a Murrian? It was McMurrian before they left Scotland some time in the 1800's. any feedback? 2602:306:CEC6:CAF0:9114:9D80:A873:A051 (talk) 05:13, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Compare Murrain v Murrian. Big difference. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:11, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
