The idea that ergotism is responsible for the dancing manias wasn't very well thought out, and subsequent epidemiologists have pretty much exploded it. Basically, people poisoned with ergot would not have gone on dancing in a relatively coordinated way for days on end.

The same goes for the 1976 article implicating ergot in the Salem witch-craze. It's an appealing theory that falls apart as soon as it's scrutinized.

You don't have to be there. We know what the symptoms of ergot poisoning are. Days of synchronized dancing is not one of them because SERIOUSLY COME ON IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.
