the plague was spread by fleas with the bacteria "Yersinia Pestis" inside their bloodstream or gut. the fleas would usually live on rats and jump onto humans when they had a chance. once the fleas bit the human, they would regurgitate the bacteria into the bite wound. the human would not care about the flea bite because in those times they would usually get bitten all the time. the flea would then live on the human, either until it dies, or it finds another victim
