What might have caused people to be vulnerable to the plague in Europe How did it spread?
It was a new disease that arrived with ships from Asia. The rats carried fleas and they carried the disease and when the ships came into port the rats left the ships. It began in Italy and spread from there to the rest of Europe. Europe was a very dirty place in the 1300's and people didn't take baths or wash clothes. Fleas were everywhere and the in the summer months they spread rapidly bring the disease with them. Not having science the people of the time didn't have an idea of the causes of the plague and once it started it went from person to person. It was called the Black Plague because within a day of contact black pustules formed in the lymphatic glands. These would burst open spreading the disease. In some places,like Venice Italy, the sick were isolated and banned from the population. Thousands would die each day until 3/4 of Europe was dead.
