The Killer Disease

What sickness killed the most people?


The sickness that killed the most people was called the Plague.
It was a bacteria that lived in peoples blood. It was said to be from
rats that scavenged ships and warehouses. The rats became the most
dangourus animal animal but then fleas wouls suck the rats blood and get it,
and soon most of the people started getting infected with this horrible infection.
Some people in the Medeieval time thought that costumes would
protect them from the infection. Some symptoms, not all but comman ones
were dark, swollen, painful lymph node.
Other symtoms were swelling of lungs and they got black and blue bumps.


There wasn't just the Plague, there was a sickness based on it called
the Bubonic Plauge which was basicly the same symptoms.


Although alot of people got sick with the Plague, the
facts are that only 33% of people got sick with the
Black Death.
