It didnt. Doctors had no hope and tried experimenting by recomending bathing in urine, rubing butter over your body, holding chickens under your armpits, and things liket that. To keep it from spreading, people bricked up houses that were said to have the black death, even if people were still inside.

∙ 14y agoIt is quite a long and interesting story.
1) People of the time had poor hygiene
2) People lived close together
3) There were poor quarantine practices (people mostly all slept in 1 bed)
4) The plague was spread by fleas
5) Trade routes throughout Europe did not shut down quick enough and the disease spread at an alarming rate.
6) Priests with limited medical knowledge tried to cure it by
a) Example: killing cats because they thought cats spread the disease (they ate the rats that spread the fleas)
b) Example: they would bleed people by cutting them to try to bleed the disease out, which would just spread infected blood.
7) 25% of Europe died.
People started to spread out and bathe.
The control of the plague was a failure and people in Europe.
