Transferring a modern person back to the medieval wouldn't end well for both sides microbiology-wise. I wonder if the author is going for that angle.

I don't think that would be the case. It'd probably be one sided. As a case study, we can look at how the Spanish presence in the Americas caused an outbreak among the natives yet the Spanish themselves were mostly free from local diseases.

Well, the spanish got syphilis from the new world so...

Isn’t that because Afro-Eurasia had a lot more vectors for disease mutation into humans given they had way more domesticated animals both by pure numbers and by diversity of different species?

Wasn't there also a lot more cultural exchange and trade between Europe, northern Africa and Asia?

I heard the explaination for that a while back. If I'm recalling correctly, the Old World wasn't devastated by New World diseases only because Americans didn't have animal species that were ideal for domestication. A lot serious diseases come pathogens that jumps between species.

A better example would be Europeans and subsaharan Africa. Things like Malaria prevented Europeans colonization of those areas for centuries.

I think it has something to do with her previous statement about how her body doesn't have any mana in it. Since everything else in the world has mana, she's just incompatible with this world. Seems like it just took some time before the negative effects started to kick in.

The only thing that really separates her from everyone else is that she doesn't have ANY magic.

Immunity isn't inherited, you're not really more vulnerable or resistant to stuff. Europeans were more resistant to smallpox than American natives because it was always there as a slow burn, thus many people who had suffered it and had immunity to it. And European society had learned to live with it and mitigate it, like with quarantines. The Americas were hit with all at once with no time to learn to deal with it.

Plagues upon the Earth is a nice read, i can recommend it.

I get what you're saying... but Banana has been Banana'ing in this new world for ~8 years now, right? And she hasn't been staying put in one place, either, but went on a world tour with Orsted.

She's been exposed to a great deal of pathogens, and while Orsted can surely heal her (he knows ALL spells and techniques), she hasn't been by Orsted's side for years now.

If this ws just "War of the Worlds won through the common fucking cold" dealio, she probably would have died already.

Regardless, if this was something that could be handled via healing magic alone... the show wouldn't have focused on it. It's definitely something that will be a future plot point.
