The Black Death

You must know! 1.What is the “Black Death”? 2.What caused the Black Death? 3.What were the consequences?

The plague arrives Historians think that the plague arrived in England during the summer of During the following autumn it spread quickly through the south west. Few villages escaped. Churchyards were full with bodies. The plague spread quickly during the winter of to the north of England. By 1350, nearly the whole of Britain was infected with the plague. At the end of 1350 nearly two and a half million people were dead!

What were the symptoms of the plague?  See the following slide to find out. But before you do….. Can you guess some of the symptoms?

Where did the Black Death come from? Can you write a short paragraph explaining how the black death came to Europe and how it was passed on?

What caused the plague? The question that you are probably thinking is this; Q: Who or what caused the Black Death? A: This is your answer! The Oriental Rat Flea!

How it all happens! Fleas bit infected rats. Bacteria multiply in fleas gut. Fleas gut is gorged with bacteria. Fleas bite humans. Human’s infected, gets sick and dies.

How was the plague transmitted? We now know that the most common form of the Black Death was the We now know that the most common form of the Black Death was the BUBONIC PLAGUE! This disease was spread by fleas which lived on the black rat. The fleas sucked the rat’s blood which contained the plague germs. When the rat died the fleas jumped on to humans and passed on the deadly disease.

Cures? Medieval people did not know about germs causing disease. They did not understand that plague was spread by rats and fleas. They thought that people’s bodies were poisoned. If the swellings burst and the poison came out people sometimes survived. It seemed sensible to draw out the poison.

Medieval cure number 1 The swellings should be softened with figs and cooked onions. The onions should be mixed with yeast and butter. Then open the swellings with a knife !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Medieval cure number 2 Take a live frog and put its belly on the plague sore. The frog will swell up and burst. Keep doing this with further frogs until they stop bursting. Some people say that a dried toad will do the job better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

What do you think?! Was the Black Death a disaster for everyone? Why it wasn’t so bad for some people in the end. How helpful do you think the medieval cures actually were? Did they help at all or were they more harmful?
