Overview:

Lactic acid was first found and described in sour milk by Karl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786) in 1780. The German physician–chemist Johann Joseph Scherer (1841–1869) was the first to demonstrate the presence of lactic acid in human blood in 1843 and 1851. His 1843 case reports are the first description of lactic acid in human blood post-mortem and as a pathological finding in septic and haemorrhagic shock. Carl Folwarczny, an Austrian physician, was the first to demonstrate lactic acid in blood in a living patient in 1858.

Discovery

Scherer highlighted in the conclusion of his book (published 1843), the fact that lactic acid was present in patients of puerperal fever and not in healthy people. He was of the mind that lactic acid was formed in blood during breakdown of tissue in puerperal fever and other severe diseases. Thus, lactic acid was recorded in human blood for the first time and was associated for the first time with symptoms of septic and haemorrhagic shock.

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

Impact on Cultural History

Here you can include the impact the disease has had over time from a cultural aspect.
Include pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks, and initial mortality.
Include the impact of the disease on society, such as the devastation, the way the sick were treated, and the impacts of the treatments that were used at the time.

 Overview:
-Lactic acid was first found and described in sour milk by Karl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786) in 1780. The German physician–chemist Johann Joseph Scherer (1841–1869) demonstrated the occurrence of lactic acid in human blood under pathological conditions in 1843 and 1851. In this article we honour the forgotten observations by Scherer and describe the influence of Scherer's finding on further research on lactic acid at the end of the 19th century. We conclude that Scherer's 1843 case reports should be cited as the first description of lactic acid in human blood after death and also as the first demonstration of lactic acid as a pathological finding in septic and haemorrhagic shock. Carl Folwarczny was, in 1858, the first to demonstrate lactic acid in blood in a living patient.
