How would you catch the three different types of black death?
In addition to the bubonic plague, there are two other different diseases caused by the same organism, called the septicemic plague and the pneumonic plague. The bubonic plague is spread by rats and fleas; a person gets it by being bitten by an infected flea. The septicemic form is the same disease, except that it has spread into a person's blood stream, where it progresses more rapidly and is more likely to be lethal. If the plague gets into a person's lungs, then the form is the pneumonic plague, and it can be spread in the droplets in the air when that person coughs; another person can catch the pneumonic plague by breathing the air.
What kind of illness was the black death?
The black death was a specific outbreak of diseases caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, in 1347 to about 1352 in Europe. Historically, there has been some question about this, with some scholars suggesting different organisms being the cause, but modern forensics seem to support Yersinia pestis as the cause.There are three manifestation of disease, referred to as the bubonic plague, the septicemic plague, and the pneumonic plague. Most usually, the disease is bubonic, referring to the buboes or very swollen lymph nodes present. If the disease gets into the blood system, it becomes septicemic, and is very much more likely to be fatal. The pneumonic manifestation happens when the disease gets into the lungs, and in this form it can be spread by the droplets a person coughs up into the air, with the new victims getting it first in the lungs.There is a link below.

What germs caused the Black Death?
The Black Death was a specific outbreak of the bubonic plague. In Europe it was mostly during the period of 1347 to 1350, though it lasted in some areas for a few years after that. It also devastated large parts of Asia.The bubonic plague is caused by bacteria of the species Yersinia pestis. Though the term bubonic plague is used as a term to cover all forms of the disease, there are three forms. The most common form, also called bubonic plague when the forms are being distinguished, is transmitted by flea bytes. If the disease gets into the lungs, it is called pneumonic plague, which can be transmitted by coughing putting disease-bearing particles into the air. If the disease gets into the blood, it is called septicemic plague.The Black Death ran its course, killing until there were too few disease-bearing animals to keep it going. The bubonic plague returned many times, but never again with the large numbers of fatalities of the Black Death. The first effective cures appeared in the 20th century.
Sypmtons of the bubonic plague?
The early symptoms of Black Plague are headaches, shivering, dizziness and vomiting. This is followed by pain in the back, arms and legs. After a while, black blotches (caused by bleeding under the skin) appear around the wrists and neck as well as under the arms. Then the characteristic sign of Black Death appears, painful swellings in the groin and armpits. As the patient gets worse, there is fever, sleeplessness and delirium.
How you died from black death?
The plague causes fever and a painful swelling of the lymph glands called buboes, which is how it gets its name. Other symptoms include spots on the skin that are red at first and then turn black, heavy breathing, continuous blood vomiting, aching limbs and terrible pain.
How do you catch the Black Death?

The diseased person would quickly develop buboes which is swollen lymph glands and would get covered with dark blotches on the skin. The patient would get a high fever,vomit blood, and hallucintate. Most victims would die after one to three days.
How would it be like if today you had a plague?
Depends on the type of illness you pick up. One person cannot be a plague but s/he can get infected by a plague. A plague technically is when an illness spreads across a population and is difficult to contain. For example the bubonic or black plague still exists today in improverished countries but it is usually contained before it gets out of control. The person with the plague is treated with antibiotics and quarantined from everyone else until they recover.

Did the rats play a role in the black death?
Yes they did because they were the first things to get 'The Black Death' and their bodys could not handle the symptoms of 'The Black Death'. So as the days passed by the rats slowly died and the humans usally caught the disease because the rats would live in there house and usally get everywhere back in the 'Medievil' times because it wasn't clean.
