Disease, Treatment during the Medieval Times.

By:Shania Rivera, Jerry Varga

Picture of the Plague (Black Death)

Plague

In the 14th century (the 1300's), a horrible disease struck Asia, Africa, and Europe. The people called this illness the Black Death.

If its possible to live even after having the disease.

How long people discovered the disease?

Outbreaks of the plague continued for two hundred years. The cause of the plague was not discovered until the 20th century (1900's.)

The truth is, only the very strong survived. But the strong had no defense against the Black Death. No one was safe. And millions of people died.

Population of how many people died from the Plague.

In just two years, 25 million people died of the plague. In ten years, the plague had killed over 1/3 of Europe's population

How to know when you have the Plague.

Infected people first broke out with red ring shaped marks with dark center spots on their arms and necks. They would run high fevers. They became even more ill, and then they died.

What the people did to protect themselves from the Plague.

At first, people locked their doors trying to protect themselves. They carried flowers to ward off the smell of the dead and dying. The skies were filled with ashes as people burned houses filled with the dead. Villages filled with the dead were burned down, to contain and kill the disease. Nothing worked.

What carries the disease?

People did not know that infected rats carried the disease. They thought it was a punishment from God for being wicked. They believed if you were bad, you would get the plague and die.
