Is bubonic plague communicable

Answer 1

Yes, sometimes.The pneumonic form was passed from human to human. Plague was first carried from India to the West in furs and clothing carrying fleas and ticks.

The disease is transmitted from animals to humans.

Plague infects wild rodents, especially rats, and is transmitted animal to animal and occasionally to humans by flea bites.

As infected rats die, their body temperature drops, and hungry fleas jump to nearby sources of warmth and liquid blood.

There is more than 200 different rodents and species that can serve as a host.

These include domestic cats and dogs, squirrels, chipmunks rabbits, camels, sheep, ticks, and humane lice.

The childhood song "Ring around a Rosy" is thought to be about the plague.

"Ring around the rosy"- Rose colored bleeding rings under the skin.

"Pocket full of posies"- Sweet-smelling flowers that those tending the sick would carry around to cover the smell.

"Ashes,ashes"- The burning of the clothing of the infected individuals.

We all fall down"- Death.
