i'm so random yeah uh and that's when it got labeled hysteria when they were like oh girls and young women get it yeah hysteria uh like the dancing plagues there was no identifiable cause of the tarantism because like a tarantula bite doesn't cause this so like there's no reason for this but they just believed it to be like a mass like psychogenic illness which is even scarier yeah a little bit it's
