In addition to the Bubonic Plague, there are two other different diseases caused by the same organism, called the septicemic plague and the pneumonic plague. The bubonic plague is spread by rats and fleas; a person gets it by being bitten by an infected flea. The septicemic form is the same disease, except that it has spread into a person's blood stream, where it progresses more rapidly and is more likely to be lethal. If the plague gets into a person's lungs, then the form is the pneumonic plague, and it can be spread in the droplets in the air when that person coughs; another person can catch the pneumonic plague by breathing the air.

What kind of illness was the black death?

The black death was a specific outbreak of diseases caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, in 1347 to about 1352 in Europe. Historically, there has been some question about this, with some scholars suggesting different organisms being the cause, but modern forensics seem to support Yersinia pestis as the cause.There are three manifestation of disease, referred to as the bubonic plague, the septicemic plague, and the pneumonic plague. Most usually, the disease is bubonic, referring to the buboes or very swollen lymph nodes present. If the disease gets into the blood system, it becomes septicemic, and is very much more likely to be fatal. The pneumonic manifestation happens when the disease gets into the lungs, and in this form it can be spread by the droplets a person coughs up into the air, with the new victims getting it first in the lungs.There is a link below.


Why was the Black Death called the Black Death?

Writers contemporary to the plague referred to the event as the "Great Mortality". Swedish and Danish chronicles of the 16th century described the events as "black" for the first time, not to describe the late-stage sign of the disease, in which the sufferer's skin would blacken due to subepidermal hemorrhages and the extremities would darken with gangrene, but more likely to refer to black in the sense of glum or dreadful and to denote the terribleness and gloom of the events.Source: S.

If you had the black death and you touched someone could they get it?

There were three strains of the Black Death. The bubonic strain, that infected ones skin and pores. It would cause large boils. This was the most common strain. As far as I know, you cannot catch it from contact. You could however, catch it from an infected flea that came from their person. There was also the septic strain, that infected the blood, and could be passed via transfer of fluids. And lastly, the pneumonic strain, that infected the lungs. This was contagious.
