Black+Death

Introduction:
The black death was a big disaster Europe in 1348. The diseases known as the Bubonic plague, the pneumonic plague, and the septicemic plague. These different diseases spread through fleas and rats and made it spread throughout a lot of Europe. Through fleas and rats, what would happen was when a rat was infected with the plague; a flea that bit it would then be a carrier of the disease. Then, when a flea found its way to a human, the human would then be infected (unless they were immune in rare cases.) Some of the symptoms for this plague are when blood starts gushing from your nose, or swellings on your body vulgarly called tumours. In a short amount of time these tumours spread all around the body. After this stage, then purple spots or buboes would start to appear all over their body. When these spots appeared, it was a sure sign of death-meaning that the tumour still remained. When these symptoms appeared on ones body, everyone avoided them with great caution. This pandemic was one of the major disasters the world will never forget. After this wave of sickness hit, the disease killed an estimate of 30-60 percent of Europe’s Population. This pandemic was a disease that will change Europe forever.
