How does Bubonic plaque affect you?

Question

How do people get cure from bubonic plaque? How do people prevent from having bubonic plaque? I need all this informations for my project tomorrow for science tomorrow.

Bubonic plaque is a disease that light skin people like hispanics, caucasians, and asians get from black rats that was spread by black rat that cause people skin to turn black and most of them died from it.

Answer 1

Plague is an infectious disease of animals and humans caused by a bacterium named Yersinia pestis.
People usually get plague from being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an infected animal. Millions of people in Europe died from plague in the Middle Ages, when human homes and places of work were inhabited by flea-infested rats. Today, modern antibiotics are effective against plague, but if an infected person is not treated promptly, the disease is likely to cause illness or death.

Prevention:
Attempts to eliminate fleas and wild rodents from the natural environment in plague-infected areas are impractical. However, controlling rodents and their fleas around places where people live, work, and play is very important in preventing human disease. Therefore, preventive measures are directed to home, work, and recreational settings where the risk of acquiring plague is high. A combined approach using the following methods is recommended:
1.environmental sanitation
2.educating the public on ways to prevent plague exposures
3.preventive antibiotic therapy

Answer 2

I can only tell you the brief info; the others, well you can fill it in.

Bubonic plague, or Black Death as it once has been called, is the etiologic cause of the bacterium Yersinia pestis. This bacterium is harbored by wild rats, and could be trasferred to humans in a number of ways, such as urine, food contamination, etc. In actuality, bubonic plague is but one type of plague exhibited by an infection with the said organism.

Bubonic plague refers to the disease/infection of bubos, or lymph nodes. The other one is called Pneumonic plague, again caused by the same bacterium, and this disease is mainly a pulmonary disease. And the last one is called Septicemic plague, which is an infection of the bacterium that manifests in the blood, i.e. bacteria in the circulating bloodstream.

Treatment for bubonic plague is mainly by eradicating the bacterium from the body of the infected person; aggresive antibiotic therapy (intravenous in some cases) is given, such as erythromycin, gentamycin, and pretty much the garden variety antibiotics in order to prevent antibiotic resistance of the organism.

Prevention of the disease is through the control of wild rodents, since these are the primary vessels for the bacterium; also, keeping one's area clean can prevent direct contact of the organism with humans.

Hope this helps in some ways!

Do you mean "Bubonic plague"? Plaque means dental tartar or caries.
Plague is caused by Yersinia pestis. Symptoms are either severe pneumonia or massive lymphadenopathy with high fever, often progressing to septicemia. Diagnosis is epidemiologic and clinical, confirmed by culture and serology. Treatment is with a fluoroquinolone or doxycycline.
Clinical features in detail:-
Bubonic plague becomes evident three to seven days after the infection. Initial symptoms are chills, fever, diarrhea, headaches, and the swelling of the infected lymph nodes, as the bacteria replicate there. If untreated, the rate of mortality for bubonic plague is 50%.
In [septicemic] plague, there is bleeding into the skin and other organs, which creates black patches on the skin. There are bite-like bumps on the skin, commonly red and sometimes white in the center. Untreated septicemic plague is universally fatal, but early treatment with antibiotics reduces the mortality rate to between 4 and 15 percent. People who die from this form of plague often die on the same day symptoms first appear.
The pneumonic plague infects the lungs, and with that infection comes the possibility of person-to-person transmission through respiratory droplets. The incubation period for pneumonic plague is usually between two and four days, but can be as little as a few hours. The initial symptoms, of headache, weakness, and coughing with hemoptysis, are indistinguishable from other respiratory illnesses. Without diagnosis and treatment, the infection can be fatal in one to six days; mortality in untreated cases may be as high as 95%.
