West Civ. Final Exam Question 7

1.) The Black Death is believed to have been started by fleas from rodents and filth.  The spread got people to think that they were going to die, and people got crazy. This also caused starvation for some people, because it was a harsh winter, and the farmer might be dead from the Black Death.,
2.) The people with the Black Death were disgusting and people had bumps, vomited, and smelt like vomit.  People had bumps on their groin and neck. They had a huge fever and vomited blood.
3.) If a plague like the Black Death were to happen today, it definitely, wouldn't be good. People would start acting crazy, and this worst part is that none would even expect it. People would turn to God and pray a lot, while other would steal and just wait for death. I really don't know what it would be like, because I can't even imagine it, but I'm sure some scientist would try to figure out the cause to the overwhelming plague. Others would probably commit suicide, because they just can't wait for death to come they no it will come.The Black Death took out over half the population of Europe, so it would definitely be a very hard situation to handle.
