And yet if those people had kept kosher it would have been impossible for that disease to spread like that. Funny that. Surely you are aware of this, why don't you account for it?

Those are the ways in which the disease spread - that is not whose fault it is. If you believe that Yahweh created everything, then it is Yahweh's fault because he purposefully designed a horrible, torturous disease that spread through the means you have suggested (plus rats). And He unleashed this disease among people who had no way of knowing how it spread.
Wow, you managed not to actually manage the creature that spread the disease, rats and the fleas they carried.

Very true. Israel was given explicit instructions regarding hygiene, even though they might not have fully understood the reasons.
Deuteronomy 23:12-14
12 "Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee."
Instructions regarding bathing, hand washing, washing clothing, and temporary quarantine, are given throughout Leviticus. Sadly the medieval church regarded such instructions too 'jewish', and summarily rejected these practices, and everyone paid a frightful price.
... does that also mean they believe the designer was intimately involved in creating a wasp's stinger, a viper's venom, malaria, viruses, and neurotoxins? There are millions of ways organisms out there cause pain and suffering... an intelligent designer would have had to design all these agonizing delivery systems.
The question is more philosophical than scientific because this thread is not about the probability of Intelligent Design, but simply the philosophical implications of the belief.
Those designs are not made to cause any pain to anyone.
Educate yourself.
Just curious, why were those things made?

The point remains... if one believes that Yahweh created everything, one must also believe that Yahweh designed millions of purposefully painful, horrible diseases, pains, etc.
I see nothing about how to avoid poison ivy.
