answer #2
 
When the plague first struck it was spread through the bite of the rat, or flea it began to spread through people communacating with each other. The slightest bit of contact would spread the plague from one person to another.
 
 
During the black plague the people thought that it was caused by their animals like their cats and dogs because of this they were orderd to kill all of their pets, but what they did not know is that it was not casued by their animals but the fleas on them and the fleas on rats as well. 

Answer #3

 

The Bubonic Plague's symptoms were swellings or buboes that appear on the neck, armpits and/or the groin area. These tumors could range from the size of an egg to the size of an apple. The tempature of the victum rose from 101 to 105 degrees then was accompanied by the shivers.Very few survived this one type of plague. It lasteed about four days if you died and about two weeks if you lived.

The Pneumatic Plague attacked the respiratory system and was spread by breathing the exhaled air of a victum.The sputum is at first slimy and tinted with blood; it later becomes free-flowing and bright red. In most cases death occurs in two or three days.

The Septicemic Plague gave the victem a severe fever and they would turn a deep purple over the course of several hours. With the sight of purple(the purple coloring is due to respiratory failure ) the victem knew that death was close at hand. The victum died in most cases the first day that they fell ill.
