In the Middle Ages the Bubonic Plague came from the fleas living on rats. The rats bit the people or the fleas got on the people (since sanitary conditions were so bad that it was a nightmare) and the people got the bubonic plague. They developed sores ("ring around the rosie"nursery ryme) that were shaped like cirles that spread. There was no actuacl medicine back then and the diesese was highly contagious, so much that one-third of the population died. People had to bury people that died and they got the plague. The bodise were not always buried either. They died in the streets in their homes or trying to get help. they got bad fevers and ran out of strengh with no medicine it is easy to see why they died and why so many died. We have a cure for the bubonic plague today...just to be safe and prepared if it would ever start again.
People died from the plague because of a lack of knowledge and the fact that antibiotics where not available for another 600 years. The bacteria associated with the plague quickly overwhelms the immune system and killed 1/3 of those who contracted it.
The plague, also known as the black death , killed millions of people because
well, back years and years from now , there were rats... TONS of rats, and rats
were coming in from other countries carrying a flea.
The flea bit the rats and after millions of rats died the fleas had nothing to bite.
(The flea was highly poisenous)
The flea then landed on countries (Ireland was first to get it )
The flea went on and bit humans.
Little did the humans know, but by Christmas , millions of people died of
plague / The Black Death..
It's a sad story but , true.
After that followed the great Famine (pronounces Fa-min) caused by potatoes..
But of course, that's another story!
The Black Plague was spread to humans by rats that had been infected by rat fleas. When humans were infected, buboes spread on the body and the person would cough up a mixture of blood, saliva, and mucus. The person would usually live only 3-7 days after being infected before death.
You started with a headache, then you got severe nausea after getting a chilling fever that left you exhausted. Then you'd get lots of back and joint pain, and bright light would be so much that you couldn't stand properly. Then you'd cough blood and 80% of people with the Pneumonic Plague would die. It comes from the Bubonic Plague.
