The Black Death was a specific epidemic of the Bubonic Plague, which occurred in the period of about 1347 to 1352 in Europe. In the Middle Ages, there was no cure for the Black Death other than a person's own immune system. Today, the bubonic plague is rather easily cured with antibiotics, if it is treated before it has gone too far. In advanced cases, the outlook is still grim for the disease.
Doctors didn't really have intelligence about this Black Death. The most they could do was pop the sores/boils. Once the patient was infected for a certain amount of time, attempted treatment was moot. The plague doctors with the bird masks and robes weren't truly qualified; they simply "posed", but did their best to try to help the infected.
Doctors tried to cut the veins. As they thought Black Death was in the blood. They washed bodies with vinegar.
Usually they isolated the person so they didn't catch it too. No-one knew of a cure, but that didn't stop medieval doctors giving it a good go. They tried all sorts, from sticking a needle in the buboes to shaving a chicken's backside and strapping it to your armpit.
they had many ways of cureing it but they usually werent sucessful
eg:they would put i cut in the infectedlump of the desease, one theory from one of the sharmons was to rub a live chicken onto the wound and seal it with chicken blood. all treatments lead to infection and death
There are various ways that people treated the black death. One of the ways was to coat the victim in Mercury, and put him in a big oven. However, this wasn't the best idea. Another way was to put a chickens bum near, or on a buboes, to try and draw out all the poison. These are the only treatments I can remember, but I hope they were to some use.
They also used leeches on the swellings to suck the blood out.
They also tryed to pop the buboes
Lancing the boils. Applying figs and onions to the boil. Eating crushed emeralds. Using dried toads to absorb the poison. Bleeding the patient. Washing the patient with vinegar and rose water. Making the patient vomit. Only the 1st one worked, though
They treated it by using pigeons, dried frogs, herbs, flowers, onions, snakes and a magic spell. By Sweaty Sue
The pandemic lasted until 1351, but smaller outbreaks (epidemics) continued off and on for decades. For instance, Paris and Rouen had epidemics in 1421, 1432, 1433, and an especially bad outbreak in 1437-39. Between 1453-1504, outbreaks died down dramatically across Europe. The last major outbreaks were in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, such as the London outbreaks in 1665 and 1722. After that, cholera, typhoid fever, and tuberculosis were much more significant causes of death, but small outbreaks in Egypt, Syria, Turkey, and Greece have been reported as late as 1845; in Russia as late as 1879; and in Indonesia in 1959. The most recent case in America I am aware of took place in Pensacola Florida in 1922. some say it helps to rub sand all over your body before it gets bad
They wold rud their "wastes"on the buboes. they would also use leeches to suck out the bad blood. THey would cut open the bouboes. None of these methods worked though. In fact it made it muc, much worse.
People died so fast after contacting the disease that there was little time to do much rather than isolate them and then bury them. In some cities and areas they isolated the sick by walling them into an alley or they put them on an island in Venice, Italy to die.
Some cures for the plagues that the people thought would work were that the patient should be put to bed and that they should be washed in vinegar and rose water. The swellings associated with the Black Death should be cut open to allow the disease to leave the body. A mixture of tree resin, roots of white lilies and dried human excrement should be applied to the places where the body has been cut open. Also the disease must have been in the blood. The veins leading to the heart should be cut open. This will allow the disease to leave the body. An ointment made of clay and violets should be applied to the place where the cuts have been made. They should not eat food that goes off easily and smells badly such as meat, cheese and fish. Instead they should eat bread, fruit and vegetables. The streets should be cleaned of all human and animal waste. It should be taken by a cart to a field outside of the village and burnt. All dead bodies should be buried in deep pits outside of the village and their clothes should also be burnt. Also Place a live hen next to the swelling to draw out the pestilence from the body. To aid recovery you should drink a glass of your own urine twice a day.
The people in middle ages thought that things like putting a frog on your buboe and waiting until the frog bursts. Or softening the buboe with figs and then sticking a knife into it, this would of popped the buboe but the knife was so dirty that it would probably make their infection even worse. They thought that if they closed all of the windows then they wouldn't catch the disease or if they had it then it wouldn't become worse. ...Of course none of these worked.
