How did the black death spread the black death is thought originated in Asia but then traveled to Europe in 1347.They would traveled though by boat's that would deliver food or traveling to different country.The traders would go through the see in the boats have rats on them which had stared the plague the rats would leave the boats and sprhead to other country around it.Also the rat ate the food on the boat and spread the deadly virus. The black death was horrifying plague event.

The hit 347-1350-The plague hit Asian,Europe,Middle east,North Africa everyone was affected by the black death i didn't matter if you wealthy or poor it won't matter.The dead were put in mass grave where the would put the layers and layers of bodies.They were also being put in the river.The symptoms were massive big black bolls,higher temperature,aching limbs,fatigue and fever.,spazams.There was three plagues the Buboinc,Septicemic plague all of which were deadly.Some of the ways there tried to care seem self they were rubbing onions on them herbs chopped up snake on the boils,rubbing cut pigeon all over there body,drinking vinegar,or eating crushed up minerals,mercury, or ten year old treacle.



The plague doctors were very common at this time they would wear protective clothing so they wouldn't get the virus they would wear beak for mask.And you would know that was the doctor they would use stick to poke the people to see what was wrong with them they would also use the stick for self defense because civilians would sometimes attack the doctor.Doctor would wear gloves,long sleeves,robes,hat,scaptel would be used to cut the bolls out.
