The black death started in Europe in 1348. It was carried throughout the Silk Road by black rats who contained oriental rat fleas. Also, merchant ships could easily have transported the rats from Asia to Europe. Many Europeans tried to prevent this plague by keeping the sick locked away. However, that did not work. For the black death spread throughout Europe causing the death of many and great havoc to occur. Streets would be lined with garbage and human waste only increasing the possibility of the black death.
A bloody nose was one of the most common signals that the black death has began to overtake its victim. Tumors located in the groin or armpit were also found ranging from the size of a egg to a apple. After, black spots would also appear on their skin most likely on their arm or thigh. There were no proper remedies that could be used in the occurrence of the black death since of the lack of technology.
If the black death was to happen again but instead at this time period, scientists would hopefully find a remedy. Doctors would be overwhelmed with patients, and more doctors would be in need. If there was not a cure, however, everyone would die.
