In the 1300s there was no medication and no one knew what was happening. They whipped themselves because they thought God was punishing them for their sins, and God would spare them. Sometimes they would cut open the buboes (the black swellings). Another cure was to place a toad on the buboe until it blew up. Don't worry, if you do get the plague, it is easy to treat now.
