Vinegar and water treatment | If a person gets the disease, they must be put to bed. They should be washed with vinegar and rose water 
Sanitation : if the person got the disease they would sanitize the area by cleaning human excrement and the person himself with the previous treatment.They also drew the blood from the person by stating that by taking the blood from the body they were taking the deisis out too.
The only treatment that helped was by contacting the people in the area by quarantining them , stopping the spread of the disease
