People in the time of the Black Death, tried many different treatments to try and get rid of the plague, some were:

· Avoid breathing in germs when with a plague victim.

· Sit next to a blazing fire (as the Pope did right through the hot summer of 1348)

· Live in a house sheltered from the wind and keep the window closed.

· Attack foreigners and people of different religion.

· Carry flowers to ward off the smell of the dead and dying.

People also tried many treatments like:

· To beg Jesus to accept their souls as they died.
