Were Plauge masks ever helpful?

no

Step-by-step explanation:

they put flowers at the ends of their beaks because they thought that the plague was spread through scents but it was transmitted through mostly dead rats and mice.

In short, no. Plauge masks did not help at all. It may have been easier to spot a Plauge doctor, but didn't provide real protection against the disease.

Hope this helped!
