The health problems of World War 1 varied. Most of the time men suffered from trench foot. Trench foot is a prolonged exposure of the feet to water. Men got trench foot from being in trenches that had water in them without changing their socks or boots. Conditions of trench foot varied from how much damage it caused. The soldiers feet would either get numb or turned red and blue. In worse conditions feet would swell. The worst thing that would happen is that they would often get blisters and open sores, which lead to a fungal infection, commonly called jungle rot. If it got worse their foot would get amputated. ouch!
