Answers: what were the symptoms of the plague, what did it effect

The black plague was a widespread pandemic that was caused by a bacteria.

"The three forms of plague brought an array of signs and symptoms to those infected. The septicaemic plague is a form of blood poisoning, and pneumonic plague is an airborne plague that attacks the lungs before the rest of the body. The classic sign of bubonic plague was the appearance of buboes in the groin, the neck and armpits, which oozed pus and bled. These buboes were caused by internal bleeding."

it was caused back a long time ago by fleas carried by rats. it affected people, rats, most animals i think. i think it was caused by the underpopulation of cats because of the witch burnings earlier and the fact that the people back then were not sanitry at all.

I used to study black plague too, but forgot, so you can visit this website.

Hope this helps.

The black plague, also known as the bubonic plague, killed about a third of Europe in the late 1700's. It's spread by rats, and back then they killed any cats they could find, as cats were considered evil.

It caused lesions on the skin that were red and later filled in with black.

It is still around today in southern Africa. It's easily cured by penicillin and lives in the soil.

Hello,
Going on memory here so....
Black plague was a virus that was spread through the city by rats.
Killed many people.
Sorry do not remember the symptoms.. I think that is where "ring around the possy" song came from....They had to burn the dead bodies.
Have not seen it for a very long time......very contagious. Look it up on the web :0)

It was spread by fleas which infected rats which then spread it on to humans. It was from Mongol China after a failed siege where they flung plagued victims over some European forts walls. First a few black lumps (or buboes) form near the armpits and death usually ensues 24-48 hours later. It is believed to be the Bubonic Plague and refugees spread it throughout Europe. Symptoms include: the eyes yellowing, theres fever, swelled,tender lymph nodes.

Ever heard of the song ring around the rosy?

Ring around the rosy-Rosy Cheeks and Rings
Pocket full of posies-They use to put flowers in poctets to make dead people smell better
Ashes Ashes we all fall down- The Black Plague Killed over 3 Million, so when they died they would burn them.
