Effects of Famines
Starvation is nothing but biological consequences of continuous scarcity of food. During the famine, starvation occurs on a mass scale.
Various diseases occur in the human body during the famine like Cholera.

Symptoms include watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, dry, mucous membranes, mouth, and skin, excessive thirst and lethargy.
Dropsy, which is now referred as edema is caused due to excessive fluid under the skin, the body swells. The affected area often retains a dimple after being pressed for few seconds.
Dysentery is another condition which affects the human body, where a bacterial infection is spread by water, stool, and food. Poor sanitation, contaminated food and water and crowded living conditions lead to dysentery. Symptoms include blood in stool, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever.
