In the summer of 1518, the town of Strasbourg faced a strange malady. The infection spread rapidly, caused a great deal of stress and pain, and then just as suddenly vanished. Those infected found themselves unable to stop themselves from dancing. They danced and danced, until they collapsed from heat and exhaustion. Over the course of its month-long reign, the dancing plague infected hundreds and, according to some reports, killed dozens.
