People caught Black Death by the fleas transferring the virus to humans.
It was a disease passed on by contact with people who were infected & fleas, EVERYONE could get it.
It was bad, because people didn't want to catch the disease.
in the philipians
Pretty rare, but there are still places where it happens, Mongolia is one such place.
it was important because the black death could risk a life of someone if they catch it.
you cant really cant something as harmful and leeful as the black death today.
in some cities during the height of the epidemic, 50% of the people died from it. so one in 2 people.
You can try to stay away from other people who have it, but it will soon spread to you anyways and you will catch it. (and most likely die)
The black death has not been known in Britain for 400 years now and even then it was only in London, the only time it was at its worst was in 1348 almost 700 years ago. nowadays are ammune systems are alot better and there are no cases of it anywhere so id say for now you cant catch it in England or Britain or even Europe. the most likely place to catch it is in the middle east but even then there almost no chance of you getting it.
I think the black plaque is also called the black death. You get bubble thingys on your skin, full of black stuff. Most people who catch it die. It was caught from rats. But they found a cure. I hope I helped you!
why did the middle ages people use weapons
They were mostly effected by rats getting germs and bacteria and passing onto foods. Then when the people ate the food, they would get the bacteria and catch the 'Black Plague'
