The+Black+Death,+1348

The Black Death reached the shores of Italy in the spring of 1348, which caused a rampage of death across Europe many people died. Some people believe the Jewish people started the Black Death but no one knew for sure back then but now it is proven that the Chinese rats started it. Pneumonic plague attacked the lungs, filling them with fluid causing victims to spit up mucous and blood. Pneumonic plague killed its victims within 48 hours. The deadliest form of Black Plague, was septicemic plague. Even touching the clothing of someone who was ill could be dangerous and you might catch it.

The Black Death was no match to the medical society of the day. Even though the government had medics and the churches workers trying to stop it. But the bad thing was then the popes and medics would die quickly by being by the black death so much that it quickly contaminated them.

Pneumonic Plague The pneumonic plague was the second most seen form of the Black Death. The pneumonic and the septicemic plague were probably seen less then the bubonic plague because the victims often died before they could reach other places. Septicemic Plague

The septicemic plague was the most rare form of all. The mortality was close to 100%. If you got Septicemic Plague were a high fever and skin turning deep shades of purple. In some cities, as many as 800 people died every day.

The Black Death was from 1347-1350 so around 3 years. The types of Black Death are Bubonic Plague, Pneumonic Plague, and Septicemic Plague. Below is how it started and transferred.

The Black Death - By Kendall Kelsey Clark and Eric

The Black Death still exists today, although antibiotics can be used to control it. There are cases of the bubonic plague that have been reported as recent as 1995 in Western United States.

The Black Death was a big part of medieval history, it killed 30-60% of the population. It was spread by fleas who bit rats who bit people. It was believed to have started in the Gobi Desert and killed over 7500 people a day. The mortality rate for humans who caught the bubonic plague was 30-75%. The pneumonic plague killed 90-95% of its victims. The septicemic plague killed nearly 100% of the people it infected and still has no cure to this day. You died within 8 days (Or the average victim did)

The Black Plague got its name by the egg sized welts you got underneath your armpits or in your groin. You also received blood spots underneath your skin causing it to look like black splotches were taking over your body.

A greater value on the farmers and workers because there were less of them. The farmland also got cheaper because more people died that lived there. Cattle became much cheaper because during the plague they roamed on the streets and dirt paths because there was no one to tend to them. The food however became more expensive because more people couldn't harvest for the richer people.

The Black Plague effected everyone in its path. Because of the medicine in the midevil times the doctors constantly tried to find out what caused the nations blow. Having said that the church worshiped and wore roses around their neck hoping to get rid of the Black Plague. Some of the people thought that whipping themselves was the way to punish them to get rid of the illness. The bodies of the people laid on the streets until mass graves were built to put them in. During wars in that time frame they catapulted the bodies over top of certain places walls to spread the Black Plague among the inner walls to weaken soliders.

The Song Ring-around-the-rosy was created when the plauge started hitting everyone. Ring around the rosy was to talk about the red rash that surrounded the victims body. Pocket full of posie meant the air they were breathing, they put a garland of roses around there necks so they didn't have to smell the dead bodies. Ashes Ashes refers to the sneezing of the sufferer that could have killed a lung at any time. We all fall down goes back to dying when they fall down at any time.

 Effect on Music and Art  People's thoughts to music and art changed as they began to see their family members death surrounding them in depression. The Black Death was spreading and creating more human suffering, as this was happening less music was played and if it was played it was sad music. Before the Black Death was spread to the area, music was heard very happily and was always played. The people who knew they were dying decided they would want to spend the rest of their life happy, and to do that they would keep playing music and performing art before they died. The big change in art and music demonstrated the sadness of the world around them.

 Oriental Rat Flea

Fleas are dangerous blood sucking parasites. They have ability to spread hazardous diseases to humans and different types of mammals. The first flea was native to Africa and got on the back of a rat that was on the boat, which was traveling around the world to different destinations. The bubonic plague, also known as the black plague, is one of the world’s deadliest diseases that can spread from flea to flea and man to man. A flea’s mouth has two different parts to it. One part is for squirting saliva and partly digested blood into the flea’s bitten area, which will give the diseases to the victim. The other mouth area is for sucking up blood from the victim, which can also spread the deadly diseases. The flea can use its legs to jump up to 200 times its length and 130 times its height to spread the disease to different animals/men.

 Effect On The Church

The biggest group that suffered the most from the Black Death was the Christian church. It lost prestige, spiritual authority, and leadership over the people. How? The church promised cures, treatment, and an explanation for the plague. They said it was God's will, but the reason for this awful punishment was unknown. People wanted answers, but the priests and bishops didn't have any. The clergy abandoned their Christian duties and fled. People prayed to God and begged for forgiveness. After the plague, ended angry and frustrated villagers started to revolt against the church. The survivors were also enraged at doctors, who didn't cure patients, but said they could.

 DID YOU KNOW!!!!

The Black Death killed a huge amount of people in Europe. Almost no body survived the Black Death. Children were dying everywhere mostly because they could not take care of them selves so they suffered. People made up the nursery rhyme: ring a-round the rosy

Ring a-round the rosy Pocket full of posies Ashes, Ashes! We all fall down!

Ring a-round the rosy: rosary beads give gods help. Pocket full of posies: Posies were used to cover the stench of rotting bodies. Ashes, Ashes: The church burned the dead. We all fall down: Dead. Children where left on the streets for loss of family and because the parents didn’t want to give them the disease. If a baby was a girl it was left to die because the parents wanted boys to carry on the family name. By Erin, Shay, Marika, Matt T

 Effect On The Economy

While the Black Death was occurring the Economy was hit the hardest with issues. The economy was hit the hardest because as soon as more and more people started to die, and the disease started to spread further and further the economy started to loose employees with special talents. After this started to occur people with any talent at all were wanted even more then the rich people. The society started to change giving poor people more say. Peasants and artisans demanded higher wages, and serfs started to flee their land leaving their crops and animals unattended, which caused the animals to starve and crops to die.

 Black Death How it Spread

 There were three forms of the Black Death and they where spread in two ways. The flea that bit the infected rat transmitted the septicenic and bubonic plague. The flea would then bite a human and regurgitate the infected blood into the wound. The pneumonic plague was transmitted through spit that spraed from the lungs and throght of an infected person. After that if the spit enters an open wound or the mouth the bactiria starts infecting the lungs. By Erin, Shay, Marika, Matt T
