I imagine that people were more leery of walking on twisted ankles than they are now, at least for the first day, and that the ones that stayed undetected ended up a lot like my mom's ankle, which is not pretty, no.
Seeing as most of the foods I tried to out-stubborn them on were foods that I later turned out to be horrifically allergic to (because of just how screwed up my immune system was, I had delayed responses back then, and often the delay was a day or more, so they had no way of knowing) it may have been my body's way of protecting me. It did stop rather abruptly when I got treatment.
