The Black Plague, also known as the Black Death, started in the late 1340s and lasted about 4 years. It was mainly carried by small animals like mice, rats, rabbits, ect. When the animal dies from the plague, the fleas move to a new host, usually a human. They bite the host which transmits Y Pestis. The most common form of the plague is the Bubonic Plague. This causes lymph nodes to swell, often occurring around the neck, armpits, ect. The less common, although more infectious form, is the Pneumonic Plague. This form is more advanced and moves through the hosts lungs. This can cause the disease to pass easier and quicker.
