The Black Death was a very bad disease that killed millions in the middle ages. The black death originally came from Asia. Traders brought infected rats with them to other parts of the world. The infected rats carried fleas that then bit people and then they go sick. 
     Most people who had this infection got little swellings on their skin. Sadly most fo the people died within a week. The doctors of this time didn't have enough knowlage to figure how to cure and stop the black death from spreading . They tried simple remedies lime herbs, but nothing helped. One of the most simple things that would have helped is hygiene like washing your hands. But they didn't know this so about one to two thirds of the population died off.
