It was fairly obvious.... you had purple/black spots, you were coughing, and you had diarhhia. The most common causes were everywhere. They also were stupid enough (the Middle Age Europeans) to throw the dead INTO THE SAME RIVER THEY DRANK FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On top of all of this, it was highly contagious. Did you know entire towns were wiped out in one week? Also, a childhood nursery rhyme was originated form the Black Death. "Ring around the Roisie" is the name of this rhyme. The first line means there is a ring around the redish purple blackish spots. "Pockets full of posie" relates to their pockets being full of flowers that smelled very nicely, for they believed that bathing was unhealthy, and "Ashes Ashes" could easily be "Achoo Achoo" because you sneezed and coughed, and of course "We all fall down" means we all die. Would you believe that I, the person who wrote this whole paragragh, am only 11 years of age?
