    Though more land had been explored, the pioneers had been facing several hardships. One specifically had been starvation on the Oregon Trail (Doc. 4). The animals were affected by the lack of food, which resulted in mass amounts of death. Pioneers showed their disparity as they were forced to eat the carcasses of dead oxen.

    Human and animal waste, garbage, and animal carcasses were often in close proximity to available water supplies. As a result, cholera, spread by contaminated water, was responsible for the most deaths overall on the Oregon Trail, although diphtheria was the single biggest killer of children. Many emigrants, exhausted and suffering from poor nutrition, fell prey to typhoid, “mountain fever” (believed to be a tick fever that causes flu like symptoms), dysentery, mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, food poisoning, scurvy (from the lack of vitamin C), or poisoning from drinking water that was too alkaline.
