What 2 plagues combined to make black plague?
Er... I don't think two plagues combined to make the black death, but there were two ways the black death killed. 1. A flea bit you - the bubonic plague. After growing buboes, coughing blood and getting fevers, bleeding under the skin, which looks like severe bruising, appears. This is what gives the Black Death its name. 2. You are talking to a victim and they sneeze. If they don't catch it, you are infected. If they do catch it, you might not be infected, but if they catch with their hand, then touch you, you will be infected. The pneumonic plague.
