SENSORY NOTES
Use a blank sheet of paper and divide the paper into 5

sections based on the human senses

As we go through the notes, record different thoughts and

ideas on things you might have experienced if you lived

during the time of the plague

The Black Death

1347-1350

Fleas drink rat blood that contains

bacteria

Bacteria multiply
inside fleas

Fleas bite humans

and regurgitate
blood into the
wound
Human is infected

The Black Rat

Fleas carry disease

Rats carr fleas

The Black Death came in three

forms
Bubonic
Pneumonic
Septicemic
All were caused by a bacterium
called Yersinia pestis.

Bubonic Plague
most common form
mortality rate was 30-75%
symptoms took from 1-7 days to appear.

Symptoms of Bubonic Plague

enlarged and inflamed lymph nodes
around arm pits, neck and groin
'bubonic' refers to the characteristic bubo
or enlarged lymphatic gland
headaches, nausea, aching joints, fever
of 101-105 degrees, vomiting, and a
general feeling of illness.

Bubonic Plague

Pneumonic Plague
second most common form
infected the lungs
Symptoms included sputum, saliva mixed
with mucus exerted from the respiratory
system. As the disease progressed, the
sputum became free flowing and bright red.
Symptoms took 1-7 days to appear.

Septicemic Plague
rarest form of all
Symptoms included high fever and skin
turning deep shades of purple.
The black death got its name from the deep
purple, almost black discoloration.
Victims usually died the same day symptoms
appeared. In some cities, as many as 800
people died every day.

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.

The plague spread when people

fled to other cities. It is believed
the plague originated in Asia, and
moved west with Mongol armies
and traders.

Who can help??

What were people believing about the Plague?

Many believed that the disease was transmitted upon
the air, possibly because the smell from the dead and
dying was so awful.
People believed scents could ward off the vapors.
They burned incense. Others had handkerchiefs
dipped in aromatic oils to cover their faces when going
out.

Others thought the disease could be cured with

sound. Towns rang church bells to drive the
plague away, for the ringing of town bells was
done in crises of all kinds. Other towns fired
cannons.
There were no ends to talismans, charms, and
spells that could be purchased from the local
wise woman or apothecary.
