The Black Death was a horrible disease in the Middle Ages that came from China from rats. The fleas on the infected rats would drink up the blood then go to a human and drink some more. The infected blood would go to the human and give it the Black Death. People who had it would vomit blood constantly and then die. They would also have swelling that would start out red and then turn a purple or black color. When people were bled their blood was black.
The disease was called the Black Death because one of the symptoms produced a blackening of the skin around the swellings.
The Black Death was spread by fleas that were carried by rats or other small rodents.
Nearly one third of the population died - about 200 million people in Europe.
7500 victims of the disease were dying every day.
The Black Death or the Bubonic Plague was disease carried to Europe by trading ships from Asia. It first effected the Italians and then spread to England and France. On the trading ships were rats that fleas lived on. These fleas carried the plague or highly contagious disease onto the people. Castles and manors always were infested by fleas, so the plague spread very quickly. People started coughing up blood, and one third to one half of Europe's who population died. People that were infested had swelled up glands and red welts that turned black (where the name the Black Death comes from). People abandoned their families and towns because they were so afraid of The Black Death and there was nothing to stop it. Nuns and monks were left to care for the sick. Convents and monasteries turned into hospitals. But soon they were deserted because the nuns and monks died from the disease too.
The people that survived the Black Plague were somehow more immune to the disease and a new generation of healthier and stronger humans started.
