God help those who got an infection from it. Infection and disease in general killed more or less as much as the actual fighting up to the 20th century.

Then mechanised warfare happened and modern medicine developed greatly to change that.

Pretty much. In a weird way I'm proud in less than 200 years mankind went from shooting dudes with spark charged powder fueled smooth tubes to mechanisms that could fire and deliver hundreds of specially shaped lead slugs in a matter of seconds.

Now we just need how to do that sort of advancement without killing.

Basically that took less then a century.
