Ignorance and myths helped the plague kill many more people than is should have. First myth is that the plague was only managed with fire. As a matter of fact, no matter what history says, experts are convinced that the Paris fire of 1666 was done in order to prevent a new plague.

Running away as fast as possible from a place where an infected surfaced was another myth that helped the plague kill many more persons than it should really had. Fully washing clothes and bathing worked better than trying to run away since soap killed the bacteria that was able to travel with the persons running away.
