There were 3 types of Plague(only 2 are ever talked about though so i will only explain 2)
The Bubonic Plague was usually fatal, however, some did recover. Rats would have the disease and then a flea would bite it. This would mean the disease was in that fleas blood stream now. When the flea now bit a human the following symptons would occur.
· Day 1: Swelling Buboes on the neck, groin and arm-pits
· Day 2: Fever and Vomiting
· Day 3:Bleeding under the skin that looks like severe bruising
· Day 4: Severe spasms. Scrunching up and then wanting to straighten out
· Day 5: If a person survives this far, the buboes will burst and black fluid will ooze out. They may survive this.
The 2nd type was the pneumonic plague. This was caused from people coughing and sneezing. The Pneumonic Plague was less common and a lot more dangerous.If someone caught the Pneumonic Plague their respiratory system would was attacked, meaning the victims lungs would collapse.
· This would lead to coughing and vomiting, a process witch would spread the disease further to all in the vicinity.
· This type of plague was so fatal because it could pass through the air un-noticed.
· It was almost always fatal.
The disease is transmitted from animals to humans. Plague infects wild rodents, especially rats, and is transmitted animal to animal and occasionally to humans by flea bites. As infected rats die, their body temperature drops, and hungry fleas jump to nearby sources of warmth and liquid blood.
The mechanism by which Y. pestis was usually transmitted was established in 1898 by Paul-Louis Simond and was found to involve the bites of fleas whose midguts had become obstructed by replicating Y. pestis several days after feeding on an infected host.
This blockage results in starvation and aggressive feeding behavior by the fleas, which repeatedly attempt to clear their blockage by regurgitation, resulting in thousands of plague bacteria being flushed into the feeding site, infecting the host.
The Black death was most commonly caught from fleas. The fleas came to the towns and cities on the backs of rats which stowed away on cargo ships.and you may get chicken pocks

What 2 plagues combined to make black plague?
Er... I don't think two plagues combined to make the black death, but there were two ways the black death killed. 1. A flea bit you - the bubonic plague. After growing buboes, coughing blood and getting fevers, bleeding under the skin, which looks like severe bruising, appears. This is what gives the Black Death its name. 2. You are talking to a victim and they sneeze. If they don't catch it, you are infected. If they do catch it, you might not be infected, but if they catch with their hand, then touch you, you will be infected. The pneumonic plague.
