http://www.themiddleages.net/plague.html This site gives the history of the spread of Bubonic Plague which was called The Black Death. The rats infested with fleas boarded the ships from Asia and brought the disease to Europe where it became widespread.

Poor hygiene was the cause of the Black death, or also called the bubonic plague. When ppl got it it looked like they were covered in bruises, welts and often lost their limbs to gangrene. The bacteria also lived in soil and rat poop.

Albert Camu's novel, The Plague, relates the disease only too well. This disease is also known as The Pox, Black Death.

The bubonic plague caused many to die. Fleas carried the disease. Poor personal hygene and close living conditions accelerated the spread of the disease.
