During the time of the Bubonic Plague, various ineffective cures were attempted, such as bloodletting, herbal remedies, and wearing protective charms. These methods were based on the miasma theory of disease, which believed that illnesses were caused by "bad air." However, the true cause of the bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis bacteria, was not understood at the time, leading to ineffective treatments. The development of antibiotics in the 20th century revolutionized the treatment of the bubonic plague, making it a highly treatable disease today.
