Who was the first person to ever die from the plague?

Answer 1

A cure was never found. People did not realize the the plague was caused by fleas hoasted by the rats. Bodies were burned. This gave some control but it was still there. The Great Plague of London, 1665-1666, and the Great Plague of Vienna, 1679, were the last major outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague in Europe. Many historians agree that the London fire that year was set to get rid of the plague. It worked. 90 percent of the rats died in the fire. The rest of the rats had mild burns and became flealess.

Answer 2

I doubt if the records that were kept in those days would be able to answer this question.

It is thought to have originated in Mongolia major. recoded Plague epidemics occurred in 540 at Pelusium, Egypt, reached Constantinople in 542 and from there spread into Europe and Asia

Answer 3

There is no exact recording of the first person who died from the black death. We are rewarded with years, however, and the first years we are given are 541-542 B.C. during the plague of Justinian. Justinian was the emperor of the Byzantine Empire where this plague landed in these years mentioned, and a colleague of his mentions that the death count was so high at the peak of this horrible disease, that 10,000 people died in a day. The burial grounds being used up, corpses were stacked up like dinner plates until something could be done with them. It is believed that the cause of this plague happened to come from Egypt in the form of rats, rats that lived in the wheat fields, ate the wheat, and went with the wheat when it was exported to Justinian's unlucky empire. The fleas on these Egyptian rats housed nasty little pathogens who proceeded to spread their misery to everyone in the Eastern Roman Empire. I am so sorry I cannot fully answer your question. I have often wondered this myself. Records were not kept in those times as they are now, and the black death being what it was, I would imagine the grief was much too much for anyone to think of recording it past the year.
