Life with the Black Death
Its the worst thing you could get!
What is It?
The Black Death was and still is a deadly disease caused by the bite by an infected flea that has jumped onto a rat and infected it. The rat then bites a human, the human now has the Plague inside of them. The plague lasted from 1347-1351 but still shows up in the European area.
How will I know i'm Infected?
Once the person is infected, they develop a very high fever. Then they start to vomit, usually blood, if a person vomits blood,from their lungs, they are most unlikely not to recover. Next, they begin to have muscular pain, causing them not to be able to move. They also have mental disorientation and their skin starts to turn a black, and purplish color.They also develop buboes under their arms. The buboes smell terrible and leak out black gross blood. By this time, the person realizes that they have the plague!
Has an Awful Outcome
PAINFUL
You receive massive pain all over your body the bite from a rat infected with the plague.
VERY FEW CURES
The best thing doctors could do was lance the buboes, apply warm poultice of butter, onion, and garlic, and hope for the best!
DEATH
The outcome often resulted in Death, within only 2-4 days of being bitten.
