 | | The Black Death | | by balisunset, Aug 31, 2008 | | Repeated episodes of pandemic plague affected large areas of Eurasia over millennia. The "plague" was almost certainly a combination of bubonic plague (rat flea borne, and highly disfiguring), pneumonic plague (a more lethal variety, and because air-borne also the most infectious strain), and septicaemic plague (human flea borne, and a quick killer). | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | The England Black Death Plague | | by balisunset, Jul 27, 2008 | | No one knows why the bubonic plague, or Black Death as it came to be known in England, broke out in eastern Siberia in the 1300s and spread westward. There was very little knowledge, at that time, of the ways by which diseases are carried from place to place, so many of the efforts to get rid of them were ineffective. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |
