The bubonic plague caused by Yersinia pestis devastated Europe and Asia. The plague began and spread due to the mass infestation of rats that ran around Europe and Asia. The people panicked as they died, and made rash decisions. Treatments such as bloodletting and boil-lancing were popular. Crusades/riots were also made to kill others to atone for human crimes against god. The bubonic plague even spread to the livestock that farmers used to supply food.
