== == * Plague is primarily a disease of rodents. Infection most often occurs when a person is bitten by a rat or flea that has fed on an infected rodent. The bacteria multiply inside the flea, sticking together to form a plug that blocks its stomach and causes it to begin to starve. The flea then voraciously bite a host and continues to feed, even though it is unable to satisfy its hunger. During the feeding process, blood cannot flow into the blocked stomach, and consequently the flea vomits blood tainted with the bacteria back into the bite wound. The Bubonic plague bacterium then infects a new host, and the flea eventually dies from starvation. Any serious outbreak of plague is usually started by other disease outbreaks in rodents, or some other crash in the rodent population. During these outbreaks, infected fleas that have lost their normal hosts seek other sources of blood. * The Pope (Gregory IX) effectively outlawed cats with a papal bulletin Vox in Rama (1232). Cats had been killing the rats, which hosted diseased fleas, which in turn over populated. Only the aristocracy kept their cats through this ban as many more vulnerable cats and citizens where burned at the stake as witches.
What did people use to try and cure the plague?
Several antidotes had to do with the diet, like a snack of fig, filbert, and rue, avoiding foods that spoiled easily like milk, fish, and meat; or if one had to eat meat it had to be fowl, lamb, or kid. More ideas on diet were: meat must be roasted, cheese for the digestion, etc.
Some common 'medicines' were pills of aloe, myrrh, and saffron, emerald ground into a powder, and the most popular, poison remedies.
Bleeding was also rather popular, though also largely ineffective. Bleeding is when a doctor makes a cut on your body and lets the "infected" blood run out. This method didn't work because the high frequency of the bleedings lead to death by exsanguination.
Others thought plague came from bad air; advice included to: stay away from marshes, swamps, and other bodies of still water where air is dense, keeping windows with a northern exposure open to let in good air, and keeping southern windows closed. Physician John Cole became famous when he pointed out that attendants that cleaned latrines and worked in hospitals and other odorous places were considered immune, and declared that the only antidote for plague was bad air. One of the most surreal images to come from Black Death is of groups of people crouched at the edge of public latrines inhaling the fumes.
