[Artemisia] A New Discussion - SCA Skills in a Modern Plague

[L.J. Richards]

When the barn is side by side or the first floor - there is warmth - there 
is also diseases that occur between animals and humans in that situation 
(and of course I can't remember which at the moment).  I do remember that 
once there was some distance between the 2 it was a better environment for 
humans.
