The plague called the Black Death is thought to have been an outbreak of Bubonic Plague (also called, simply, plague) caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. In modern times, this disease organism is readily and effectively treated using any of several inexpensive antibiotics. Patients with plague in the modern era usually recover completely with prompt diagnosis and treatment.

This organism is wide spread among communal rodents in the US southwest (squirrels, prairie dogs, etc.) and in Asia. The disease occurs in individual people from time to time who have contact with infected rodents in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

How do you know if you are suffering from the black death?

A usual sign is your fingernails turn dark purple around your cuticles. You may have an uncure-able case if they are black. Another sign of the Black Death is a high fever and uncontrollable shaking or shivering. Muscular pains could also be a sign. However, Black Death is NOT the same as the Black Plague so if you read signs of the Black Plague then its not Black Death. Black Death originated in most rural and urban parts of northern, southern , and eastern Europe and was not seen in the last Century. So chances of anyone catching it now is close to impossible.
