In this immersive historical bedtime story, we follow the terrifying journey of a Renaissance syphilis victim from the first subtle sore to the final stages of madness, decay, and isolation.Told in a calm, sleep-friendly voice with dark humor and rich period detail, this video explores every brutal stage of the disease — the rashes, the rotting flesh, the collapsing nose, the whispered rumors, and the “treatments” that often did more harm than good. Whether you were rich or poor, saint or sinner, syphilis didn’t discriminate… it just devoured.Perfect for fans of unsettling history, slow storytelling, and bedtime tales that are anything but comforting.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
