The Horrifying Black Death

I mean really what was the Black Death?

Well I’ll tell you all about it. The Black Death was

a horrible plague that spread around the medieval cities

like a bad smell. They call the Black Death a bubonic plague.

it started spreading around medieval Europe around 1348.

it was carried around the crowded towns by nasty rats, and infested

flees. When ever the rats would bite the town’s people, the bacteria

Would get into their blood an infect them…..gross.

            Back to learning about what happen. The rats lived in

the town with the people in usually close corners with the people.

There were sooooo many rats because the rats had a good environment

To bred and live soooo therefore a lot of them did. The way that the gross

flees would get it is they would bite the rats and them the humans

and then they would infect the humans just like the rats. Since the

normal medieval towns were so degusting and gross both of these

animals had good places to live.

            Before the Black Death Europe was highly populated but after

This horrible year or so they lost 30% of their population…that’s terrible.

There’s a lot of interesting facts that I would like to share with you. Did you know that?

When ever a bunch of people died like in the Black Death they would dump the rotting bodies in big pits that were very deep and wide. There were many signs that you knew you had it if you got huge black spots on your arms usually your armpits. Once you had these horrid nasty spots you could sadly expect to die in the next 48 hours. The only way to escape death in this terrible time was to escape your town’s life and your family around you. :(  Once you round this all up you get the horrifying Black Death.
