Origins+&+Causes

=Origins & Causes= ====When the plague hit Europe it was unknown where it came from. People died in four days, at this time they were not aware of the fleas that bitten him. The plague started in China and traveled through China's main trading route the silk road. The rats followed the Chinese on ships. As the fleas made their way through the road it made it's way to Europe, as well as Africa.====

This man here was one of the many Doctors that took all the sick people on a canoe and took them to an island and threw the bodies there and left them there to die. The Doctor wore the mask to help protect him from the plague in the mask he had fresh herbs to help his health. For the Sick people this was often the last thing they saw before the died. (A little extra information the island the bodies that were thrown on the island are said to haunt that island this very day!)

=The Seasons=

====During the black plague it was considered the end of the world as thousands of people died and their medicine had no cure. Ever winter though the plague mysteriously disappeared. At this time of the season the fleas which started this epidemic seemed to have left because during the winter the fleas could not survive. Every Spring however the plague returned.====
