Sometimes the trenches would collapse on top of the soldiers which would result in a dugout and them dying from suffocation. Also there were millions of rats which could actually eat them alive. Lice was another danger because it gradually sucked all their blood little by little. And finally, life in the trenches was dangerous because of the weather. The weather was very cold therefore soldiers could easily get pneumonia or any lung disease. The cold, rainy weather also filled their trenches with water. The soldiers had to stand underwater for almost the whole day, this caused Trench Foot, which was an awful disease which made their feet rot.
try researching first the rats only ate dead bodies and it would take billions of lice for someone to die of blood loss; also a dugout, a small hole in the side of a trench, was where they slept (not very often) in beds. the trench would only collapse after a lot of rain and if the supports weakened and were not replaced
