Black Death or The Black Plague was spread by fleas that were on rats. The Industrial Revolution could be the cause of its rapid spreading, but the cause is actually disputed by many scientists and historians. Many think it spread just because of how contagious it was.
The Black Plague, or bubonic plague, typically does not result in long-term disabilities. However, in some cases, it can lead to complications such as limb gangrene due to blood circulation issues or neurological issues if the infection spreads to the brain. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics greatly reduce the risk of these complications.
The church thought that it was the Jews fault that the plague happend. But really it was infuenza carried by rats and flees.
The bacteria that is believed to be the main cause of Black Death (bubonic plague, pneumonic plague and septicemic) is yersinia pestis.
Doctors did exist at the time of the medieval black plague, however, they did not know anything about the cause or treatment of the plague, and were useless. Medical science was extremely primitive at that period of history.
Because the bubonic plague (first to hit Britain) was when humans got boils, and the boils were BLACK. Because the Bubonic plague, (spread by fleas from infected rats), would cause the victim to receive boils, and blotches of skin that would turn black or blue. These are not boils but enlarged lymph nodes which became black (gangrenous).
Nations lost there provinces and as the black plague killed alot of people, economy dropped and nations fell.
The Bubonic Plague (also known as the Black Plague) caused death throughout Enlgand around the time of 932 A.D.
They don't have to be black cats. Also, cats aren't really "protectors" they just keep away the evil spirits of the dead and also keep away Anubis who is basicly a dog....thing....it tells you in the first "The Mummy" movie :D The only instince where a black cat has significance would be Halloween. But the origin of the Black Cat has nothing to do with Halloween, it refers to the time of The Black Plague. A theory that the dying people came up with was that cats were the cause of the horrid disease. Because the people wanted to stop the Bubonic Plague, they killed any cat they could find. The "Black" cat part is because the Bubonic Plague is also known as the "Black" Plague, thus the Black Cat came about. It was considered bad luck if a black cat crossed your path because it would mean that you would get the Bubonic Plague.
