The black death stared when diseased rats aboard trade ships first entered
Europe. These rats were infected with disease fleas. When the ships landed the rats would run thought the town and by trade and travel quickly infected all of Europe. This meant extreme disease for all of Europe. The black death appears as massive black bruises and zits all over the body. It causes the victim extreme pain and exhaustion. if i were a midevel physician i would first clean the body and get all the fleas off of the person and shave their heads. Then i would pop the zits and drain all the infected puss out of the body. Then i would help sterilize the open wounds and hope that the body can remain disease free long enough to fully heal. If a plague like this were to hit contemporary america would first go to hospitals but our doctors and scientist would quickly be able to find a cure and we would be able to fight the spread by limiting our travel.
