PlagueThere were many ways, the most common being bleeding. They bled patients by cutting them and collecting the blood in bowls. They did this as a cure although This often killed the patient quicker! Urine was often the medieval dr's indicator for any sickness. They'd study the color and taste it and then diagnose what they thought the sickness was. People themselves often carried posies/flower/herbs wrapped in a hankie and held it to their mouths through fear of breathing in the disease. They belived this method would ward it off. Nostradamus is the famous French prophet. Who's belived by some to have predicted the second world war and the rise of Hitler. If he hadn't been famous for that he'd have been famous for being one of the greatest dr's of his time. His family died from plague but he developed a treatment of 'rose pills' made from roses picked at specific times that were the most effective plague medicine of it's time. It actually cured several patients. Modern dr's belive this is due to vitamin C content in the rose pills. There are more ways people tried to cure it so keep browsing. X Ps, The nursery rhyme "ring 'a' ring 'a' roses" is based on the Bubonic Plague as the boils were in the shape of a rose.Another way of treating people was to cut of the places were the plague was.

What germs caused the Black Death?

The Black Death was a specific outbreak of the bubonic plague. In Europe it was mostly during the period of 1347 to 1350, though it lasted in some areas for a few years after that. It also devastated large parts of Asia.The bubonic plague is caused by bacteria of the species Yersinia pestis. Though the term bubonic plague is used as a term to cover all forms of the disease, there are three forms. The most common form, also called bubonic plague when the forms are being distinguished, is transmitted by flea bytes. If the disease gets into the lungs, it is called pneumonic plague, which can be transmitted by coughing putting disease-bearing particles into the air. If the disease gets into the blood, it is called septicemic plague.The Black Death ran its course, killing until there were too few disease-bearing animals to keep it going. The bubonic plague returned many times, but never again with the large numbers of fatalities of the Black Death. The first effective cures appeared in the 20th century.

The bubonic plague affected economic development in medieval times by?

The bubonic plague significantly disrupted economic development in medieval times by drastically reducing the population, which led to labor shortages. This scarcity of workers allowed surviving laborers to demand higher wages, shifting the balance of power towards the working class. Additionally, the decline in population resulted in decreased demand for goods, causing a reduction in production and trade activities. Ultimately, these changes contributed to the gradual transition from feudal economies to more market-oriented systems.


How did people attempt the plague from spreading?

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.
