The palgue was bad because it spread so easily and the symptoms were horrible. Big boils sprouted on your neck.The black death was fatal.

There have been many plagues in our history. The term plague means a disease which spreads without control, killing or sickening many people (it can also refer to animals, since disease vectors cross from animals to humans). One of the most recent plagues is HIV.

How did people avoid catching the black plague?

The Black Death was an outbreak of plague that killed a third to half the people in Europe during the period of 1347 to 1352. At the time there was very little anyone could do to avoid it. I have read that some walled towns in England brought in food, raised their drawbridges, and waited until it passed, with some success, but I cannot provide a reference for this. Today, the bubonic plague can be treated with modern medicine.


What did people think caused the plague?

There were lots and lots of different beliefs about the plague; people were so scared because they weren't sure what caused it. Some believed it was a punishment from God, some believed that foreigners or those who followed a different religion had poisoned the wells, some thought that bad air was responsible, some thought the position of the planets had caused the plague. All these different beliefs led to some strange attempts at escaping the plague and some even stranger cures. cw: Probably it was spread by the fleas on rats; hence, the love of cats.
