How did Europeans survive the Black Plague?

Answer 1

· Victims were bled and given laxatives to remove blood or bad humors from the body.

· Dried toads were placed on the buboes to draw out poison.

· Butchery regulations were set up to keep streets clean from blood and animal intestines, and other thing animals and insects get attracted to.

· The clothes of victims were burnt. This was a dangerous task as the disease could be spread by contact with victims clothes.

· Towns were closed to people leaving or visiting. Quarantine restrictions badly affected trade.

· Streets were cleaned of muck and rotting waste of every kind.

· The number of mourners were allowed at funerals were limited. Times for funeral were set for mid-day so relatives of the victim who may have been infected were kept off the streets.

· Some towns blamed Jews for the plague: for poisoning their wells and deliberately infecting people with The Black Death. May were killed as a result.

· Lighting aromatic fires to tackle the miasma (bad air).

· Flagellation and religious procession to please god.

Answer 2

The Black Death or Bubonic PlagueThey really weren't able to slow the Black Death; it just ran it's course. People tried avoiding groups of people and even barricading themselves inside their homes, but because the disease was carried by fleas which originally came from rats, and do to the lack of general hygiene during the time period, almost everyone had fleas. Like most plagues, at first no infected persons survived, then a few did, and eventually significant numbers lived even after infection. The great fire in London also also helped extinguish the flea/rat populations.

In one notable example, the English village of Eyam chose to quarantine itself in an effort to stem to the spread of the Bubonic Plague when it arrived in the village in August, 1665.

Answer 3

At first, the europeans knew nothing about the black death. They believed it was coming from the cats, and killed all the cats they could have found. This was wrong, because the plauge was spreading through the rats, and the cats had been eating the rats, thus creating a larger problem for the europeans. At the time, many lived in poverty, throwing waste out onto the streets, only creating a much larger problem.
