I don't know if anyone wants to talk about it. But after seeing like one episode to do with the scariest places on earth. They did one based on the plague killing people. First the black death which they called it which happened in the 19th century it lasted 1346 to 1750. This affected the entire Europe region. And then the plague of 1665 was of London which lasted for a whole year and stopped at 1666. Its really sad when you think about this. The type of this rare disease that killed so many billions of people. I read this up and it seemed like a type of Yersinia pestis. An Oriental rat flea. I now wonder how....this flea infected the animals, and the animals....passed it onto the people themselves. Once this plague started it could stop. How this dreadful thing can kill so many? In how many hours within a day or mins as well? What are your thoughts about this? It really sad and tragic it happened back then.

This is actually a very fascinating subject. What's really messed up is that it wasn't even the flea... It was the bacteria that was carried by mites that were carried by the flea that were carried by the rats... There were actually 3 different kinds of infection associated with the black death: Bubonic, Septicemic and Pneumonic. Bubonic Plague  is an infection of the lymphatic system, where "bubo" comes from the Greek word for groin, where lymph nodes are found. Symptoms were typically flu-like, but what distinguished it was the lymph nodes swelling and blistering to the size of golf balls and sometimes busting, further spreading bacteria. Septicemic Plague was an infection of the blood stream, and was the rarest and arguably most lethal form. Fatality was near 100% in the middle ages. Pneumonic Plague was an infection lungs that had spread from an earlier Bubonic infection, and could be transmitted from person to person only by breathing too close to them. There are still occasional reports of the plague in the American southwest, though it's easily curable with only the use of very common antibiotics. It's actually a really amazing thing that we can now more easily cure something that killed off 2/3 of the population of Europe than the common cold.

Also, a small nit-pick... but the 1300s and the 1700s would've been the 14th and 18th centuries.

m0ssb3rg935 : I know and thanks for the correction. I know when I do something wrong...and when that happens I apologize. I had a feeling I might had been off in a way. But you had explained. It was the bacteria that caused it. I don't think I wouldn't want to live when that happened back then. '-'

The spread of disease has always been a subject that  fascinated me. I should really take the time to learn more about it.

Did you know the song "Ring Around the Rosy" is actually based on the Black Plague? People would carry a 'pocket full of posies" with them to try and mask the scent of dead bodies constantly being everywhere around them. The 'Ashes, Ashes, We all fall down" part is about how so many people were dropping dead (and I assume they had to burn the bodies since not enough people were healthy enough to bury them all).

At least that's what I remember. That may not be 100% accurate, but it's something like that.

Mynamescox44 : Oh wow...I really didn't know that. I thought it was just a song we sang in nursery....yeah that may explain how the song came to be because of the plague...yeah it was most likely the body had to be burned to prevent more spread. '-'
