What is a disease from World War I?

The correct answer is: Trench foot.

Trench foot is a condition that affects the feet of soldiers who are forced to stand in waterlogged trenches for long periods of time. It is caused by prolonged exposure to wet and cold conditions, which leads to damage to the skin and underlying tissues. Symptoms of trench foot include pain, swelling, redness, and numbness in the feet. In severe cases, trench foot can lead to tissue death and amputation.
