Can you survive bubonic plague?
Sure you can! The bacteria that causes the bubonic plague feeds off of iron. If you are anemic, there is not enough iron in your system to keep the bacterium alive. This is where bloodletting becomes useful. Today, when somebody comes down with plague, we feed them antibiotics. They often work. And of course, getting a lot of rest is also useful. your body is better able to create antibodies and resist disease when you are well-rested.
What germs caused the Black Death?
The Black Death was a specific outbreak of the bubonic plague. In Europe it was mostly during the period of 1347 to 1350, though it lasted in some areas for a few years after that. It also devastated large parts of Asia.The bubonic plague is caused by bacteria of the species Yersinia pestis. Though the term bubonic plague is used as a term to cover all forms of the disease, there are three forms. The most common form, also called bubonic plague when the forms are being distinguished, is transmitted by flea bytes. If the disease gets into the lungs, it is called pneumonic plague, which can be transmitted by coughing putting disease-bearing particles into the air. If the disease gets into the blood, it is called septicemic plague.The Black Death ran its course, killing until there were too few disease-bearing animals to keep it going. The bubonic plague returned many times, but never again with the large numbers of fatalities of the Black Death. The first effective cures appeared in the 20th century.
Are Black cat Protectors the Egypt?
They don't have to be black cats. Also, cats aren't really "protectors" they just keep away the evil spirits of the dead and also keep away Anubis who is basicly a dog....thing....it tells you in the first "The Mummy" movie :D The only instince where a black cat has significance would be Halloween. But the origin of the Black Cat has nothing to do with Halloween, it refers to the time of The Black Plague. A theory that the dying people came up with was that cats were the cause of the horrid disease. Because the people wanted to stop the Bubonic Plague, they killed any cat they could find. The "Black" cat part is because the Bubonic Plague is also known as the "Black" Plague, thus the Black Cat came about. It was considered bad luck if a black cat crossed your path because it would mean that you would get the Bubonic Plague.
How people tried to keep the plague from spreading?

Why the cat are valuable in the environment?
i dont know it doesnt make sense One example of how cats help the environment is that they keep the rat population down. How does this help the environment? Because an overpopulation of rats will lead to diseases in humans like the bubonic plague. In fact, England for example, had a bubonic plague and people were dying. The cats killed off a good amount of rats, which saved the people from this plague. In more recent years in the U.S., police and fire stations were having problems with rats spreading diseases around the cities. They tried rat poison, which helped some but not much. But then when they brought cats into the station, the diseases were eliminated. So cats protect humans from different plagues in this manner.
