I can think of LOTS of illnesses you can get from rotting dead birds. Or maybe the birds were sick and that is why they fell to the ground. Maybe God's great wind had nothing to do with it. Or God could have been angry with the birds, sent a plague to THEM, and humans merely got in the way. This is fun.

This was a LOT of quail! To God's credit, He seldom opted to transcend the Universe, but rather worked within it whenever possible. Do you think they were dead while they were being gathered? The word "gathered" makes it sound like they were (at least) quiescent? I'm wondering about the wood for the fire? But my assumption that the meat (stuck between their teeth) was cooked, may be entirely unwarranted. Raw quail usually does get stuck between the teeth, especially if the plucking is done in a cursory manner due to extreme hunger... Gee, I've just looked up the variants of "plague". I think you have made an excellent point...
