A little extra fact for all of my lovely bad ones...

A plague epidemic swept through europe from 1348 through 1351, killing an estimated 25-60% of europeans. some estimates are as high as 2/3 of the population.

Black Death is a relatively new term. During the event itself, it was often called "The Pestilence".

People of the 14th century believed that the plauge was a punishment from God. Others thought the alignment of the planets had something to do with it.

Bubonic plauge causes the body's flesh to die, turning it a lovely shade of acral gangrene.

Bathing was discouraged during the plauge because people thought it opened the pores to the disease.

Well, there you have some lovely facts about the cold truth. What people do and believe is incredible. Best put on your mask and your disinfectant spray cause death is in the air and is never cheated...
