Question

How did the black plague spread so quickly? Was it through inhaling the disease, by coming in contact with other people who had it, or was it because of the fleas on the rats?

Answer 1

Bubonic plague is transmitted through the bite of an infected flea or exposure to infected material through a break in the skin. Symptoms include swollen, tender lymph glands called buboes. It was a disease spread through contact with animals (zoonosis), basically through fleas and other rat parasites (at that time, rats often coexisted with humans, thus allowing the disease to spread so quickly).Oct 21, 2013
