People burned Jews and other religions from different culture backgrounds and they sat near fire at all times. They would kill people with this disease and not inhale the germs of patients. For treatments, people from back then would use many ways, such as making them bleed out the poison or cut the swells to release the juice from inside. They would treat the wounds with yeast and mint-covered nuts of liquid to heal.
They used antibiotics and did blood letting but bloodletting sometimes led to bubonic plaque
Since it was not commonly known that bubonic plague was carried by the rat flea, it was generally assumed to be a supernatural affliction. Healers tried to ward off the plague by wearing masks and reciting incantations. The effectiveness of these methods in unknown but severely doubted. People killed all the rats and pets. They buried dead bodies deep and burnt everything.
In the Middle Ages, no one yet knew of the existence of germs nor of viruses. So no one really knew an effective way to fight the Bubonic Plague at that time. People did try to fight it with their limited knowledge, but they were mostly unsuccessful at the time.

The disease spread by fleas being carried around on rats. In the filth and the warmth of the summer heat, the rotting rubbish is a perfect place for bacteria to breed. People living in the infected area had to sanitise in order to try and prevent the disease from spreading. When people died from the plauge, they hardley every let anyone see the deceased to try and stop the spread.
People tried to stop the plague, but they didn't know what caused it. Medical science at that time was very primitive. Some people thought at the time that it was caused by God's wrath, but in fact it was most likely caused by infected fleas carried by rats.
There was little scientific or medical knowledge in the Middle Ages, so most of what they did to try to stop the plague did not have any effect on it. Some things they did were: applied poultices of various foods and substances to the buboes (the swellings caused by the plague); opened the buboes with knives, which actually would make the plague spread faster; various folk medicine or witchcraft remedies such as using a frog applied to the buboes, to try to remove the plague; prayer and blessing by priests, which often resulted in the death of the priest from the plague; blaming minorities and trying to stop the plague by removing the minorities (such as Jews) from their midst; herbal and dietary remedies; flagellation (whipping themselves) was practiced by some in an effort to get God's forgiveness, because they believed the plague was the result of sin. Unfortunately, the flagellation opened wounds on the bodies of such people, giving an easy route for the disease to spread. These people, known as "flagellants," also travelled from town to town to spread their belief that the plague could be stopped in this way, and the fact that they travelled also increased the plague, because they were carrying it with them in their bodies from town to town.
by burning incents, wearing '' bewitched jewels '' and holding rags dipped in sweet smelling oils to their faces. they thought it was air born but was actually fleas from rats or the '' oriental flea '' . they also lit fires to purify the air but because it was the fleas it killed them off because they were killed by smoke and fire.
