        Your own? Other people’s? On purpose? Accident? It’s not even clear if it’s individual teeth, or all of them at the same time. I have so many questions!

    Man I’d hate to be killed by several accidents. I’m just imagining a medieval Rube Goldberg chain of events that leads to 46 deaths.

      According to wikipedia:

      Rising of the lights was an illness or obstructive condition of the larynx, trachea or lungs, possibly croup. It was a common entry on bills of mortality in the 17th century. Lights in this case referred to the lungs.
