The Black Death as seen before in the previous post was spread throughout Europe leaving a lot of people dead in its presence it was a terrible outbreak for that contanent. As you may know the Black Death is also reffered to as the Bubonic Plague and the reason for that is that buboes or swelling would show up on the persons neck, in their armpit, or in the groin. The swelling was actually a tumor and was usually the size of an egg. Usually when purple or black spots appearded on your arms and thighs that was a sign that you would soon die and there was nothing that anybody in that time period could do. Unfortinly nobody knew that this infection was contagous and were pretty unware of any information what so ever about the infection, when it hit them it left them in a devstating shock. Even by just touching somebody's clothing who was infected you could catch the deadly infection. In result of this the infection was spread like wildfire. Something else that was very unfortnit was that the was really no curtain cure the doctors were pretty ignorant to what was going on and could only give common treatment to there patients, that they just need to sleep and eat well and it will leave, but as we know now that was not the case. No medicine was availble for this plague and that's another big reason why so many were killed by this infection. The black Death had a huge impact on Europe and anyone that survived in that time period were very lucky.
