Which disease struck the workers building the Brooklyn Bridge in the US in the late 19th century?

Rey, a suit does not reverse the effects. only a decompression chamber can do that.

I guessed between measles and caisons disease . so I guessed the longest answer . It seldom fails . lol

Woah! An industrial disease I knew nothing about. Good that the workers refused to work at the greater depths. Wondering … how were they affected in later life? And will the Brooklyn side sink then?

Now if you’d have mentioned the bends I might have got it right…NOT! 😂

wow😲, it was built from 1869-1883,that's 14yrs interval bravo to the engineers, can't wait to visit the Brooklyn bridge again

Player Jellybean, totally. It never disappoints.

Jhunex, Unfortunately, none of the official reports seem to agree on a total. Some say as few as 14 and as many as 100+ and every number in between.

Interesting! People who go skiing in the Rockies also get the bends because they don't take time to get used to the altitude, they go out on the slopes too soon. Strenuous exercise at that altitude can kill you if you don't take 2 or 3 days to get accustomed to it.

it's very easy

caisen disease

Wonder if there were a lot of workers died from that disease.
