Squirrels are the main rodents in California that carry it. Lots of rodents do (rats, possums, etc.)
I hope this helps!
The common name for bubonic plague is the Black Death.
There were two forms of plague, one Bubonic and the other Pneumonic. Pneumonic was not currable.
The Black Death (1347-1350)
The most famous symptom of bubonic plague is swollen lymph glands, called buboes. These are commonly found in the armpits, groin or neck. The bubonic plague was the first step of the ongoing plague. Two other forms of the plague, pneumonic and septicemic, resulted after a patient with the bubonic plague developed pneumonia or blood poisoning. Other symptoms include spots on the skin that are red at first and then turn black, heavy breathing, continuous blood vomiting, aching limbs, coughing and terrible pain. The pain is usually caused by the actual decaying, or decomposing of the skin while the infected person is still alive.
Today, when people say the plague as in a disease, they generally mean the bubonic plague. However, there are three types of plague: - bubonic - the kind with the swollen lymph nodes called buboes, that's where the name comes from - pneumonic - this is transmitted by coughing and people usually die within 2 days of showing symptoms - septicemic, which is in your blood and causes tissue to die. Pneumonic is far more contageous and kills quicker than the other two, so that's arguably the worst. If you mean the Plague as in the big pandemic that wiped out 1/3 of Europe in the 1350s, it was a mixture of bubonic and pneumonic.
Yes - it affected virtually the whole of Europe.
There was an epidemic of bubonic plague in 1564, the year Shakesepeare was born. Other epidemics also hit from time to time, influenza being common.
It's like any other disease. It never really went away.
Elizabethan clothing is clothing during the Elizabethan age. In other words, this is the age of Shakespeare and the bubonic plague.
A person suffering from the bubonic plague might feel tired, have the chills, experience a very high fever, have seizures, and have pain in the lymph areas- among other things. Bubonic plague generally progresses into additional illnesses as well after it afflicts the person. The bacteria spreads rapidly when injected into a human host and can cause the lymph nodes to haemorrhage and swell. It also causes death relatively quickly. Amy coombes
The two theories are: Tiny fleas would bite the rats that infested the streets. They would then carry bacteria from the rat to humans, because they would bite humans, spreading the bacteria. Humans would then spread the disease by touching and being near other people. The other theory is that God was punishing all humans for their sins by sending the Bubonic Plague (Black Death)
One type is from a bite of a flea that carries the disease. The spot where the person is bitten turns black and forms a pustule. The other type was carried by the air and came from a cough of an infected person ( like the flu). The people who got the plague this way died faster than the people with the bite.
