Bubonic Plague is one of the deadliest bacterial infections that have caused death of millions of people just in a very short time span. The bubonic plague infects animals as well as humans. Flies and airborne insects are the main cause of spread of this disease. In ancient times when use of antibiotics was not known, the plague was cured by burning the buboes with blood-hot iron rod, which was a barbaric method but did save many lives.

∙ 14y agoWell there was fleas that carried disease and pasted that onto some rats. The rats were on boats and when they got to where they were going the rats spread the disease around by biting people.
When someone were like diagnosed with the bubonic plague they are like considered dead. It was horrible. People had to bury their family. People always covered up there mouth and nose. I'm not really sure if it can spread the air or not.

∙ 12y agoThe black death was spread through fleas on rats.
Since the citys in medieval ages were so filthy, rats would be everywhere, if the infected fleas bit the rats, the rats became infected. The rat then might have bitten someone stupid enough to mess with rats, then the person got sick. The sickness from that person then spred to another like a normal contagous sickness, and there for, it continued until it stopped.
