The Bubonic Plague (also known as the black death) wiped out most of the population in Europe in 1347-1350 this was because of poor healthcare and even worse sewage control, urine and fecal matter would flow through the streets. exposed to these conditions deteriorated the immune systems of the inhabitants, making them more succeptable to the bites of the fleas carried on rats that stowed away on trading ships. it was the bites of these fleas that spread the bubonic plague, not spread on the wind which was the common belief. simple pennicillin and antibiotics can kill the plague virus, which itself has become rarer thanks to the increasing standards of sewage control and healthcare worldwide.
