The cause of the black plague was the blocked flea. This flea would regurgitate the plague into the victims blood stream whilst feeding on them. The fleas had to run off the rat onto a human. The victim would start getting headaches, then chills and fever which made the victim exhausted. The victim might vomit and get soreness in their limbs.

A bacteria carried by fleas that feed on black rats. When the rat population begins to die off from the plague the fleas move on to feeding on humans, transferring the bacteria to them. That is when we become aware of an outbreak.
