It had caused an end to the Crusades, and Medieval Times. It also affected the economy during that time.]]> 2019-04-08 00:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349321876 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349541708 According to https://www.britannica.com/event/Black-Death, it was located in Europe, and Northern Africa . It could also be carried to many other countries by people traveling with the disease to their hometown.]]> 2019-04-08 15:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349541708 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349551045 According to http://www.flowofhistory.com/units/west/10/FC71, about 2.1 million to 3.7 million were killed by the Black death. About one third to one half of the population had died.]]> 2019-04-08 15:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349551045 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349592308 According to http://broughttolife.sciencemuseum.org.uk, one false cure was trying to use flowers to freshen up the air, but that didn't work. ]]> 2019-04-08 16:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349592308 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349595643 According to http://broughttolife.sciencemuseum.org.uk, another myth was to  use the ground horn of a majestic unicorn to cure the body; that also didn't work because unicorns do not exist.]]> 2019-04-08 16:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349595643 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349595948 According to http://broughttolife.sciencemuseum.org.uk, another failed attempt was that doctors tried using potions mixed with mercury and/or arsenic.]]> 2019-04-08 16:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349595948 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349596031 According to http://broughttolife.sciencemuseum.org.uk, the fourth way was rubbing onions, herbs or a chopped up snake on the boils; but this only worked a few times.]]> 2019-04-08 16:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349596031 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349685254 Lastly, according to http://broughttolife.sciencemuseum.org.uk, cutting up a pigeon, and rubbing it over the infected area or the whole body, only worked a couple times.]]> 2019-04-08 19:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349685254 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349707394 I don't think using flowers would help at all. They would only  freshen up the air. If studies showed any affect by applying the petals to the infected area, or burning the flowers, it might have had some healing powers for the skin and the person's breathing.]]> 2019-04-08 20:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349707394 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349710053 The Black Death was caused by fleas that were on black rats. The fleas had carried a dangerous disease that caused everyone to get sick and die.]]> 2019-04-08 20:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349710053 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349730474 I think cure two doesn't make any sense. Unicorns don't exist, plus even if they were real, they would live in the south because it's too cold for them in the north. It was stated that ground unicorn horns was a cure. How can that be if unicorns are non-existent?]]> 2019-04-08 22:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349730474 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349731022 I think that mixed potions with mercury, and arsenic wont make sense. I also wonder what was in the potion besides the mercury. I also think that it would take a lot of fuel and fossils to use for one batch of potions.]]> 2019-04-08 22:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349731022 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349732562 I think that cure four could make sense, but it doesn't. What kind of snake would be used; poisonous or non-poisonous?]]> 2019-04-08 22:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349732562 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349735038 This one is my favorite, because it actually worked a couple times. I would probably use this cure if I ever catch the Black Death disease. I also wonder what was in the pigeon that helped the body heal.]]> 2019-04-08 23:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349735038 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349736030 According to flowofhistory.com, it states that after the Black Death many things happened; a higher standard of living for those who survived, problems for nobles and clergy who were land owners, could not make money because the trade routes were cut off so the disease wouldn't spread overseas, and gave peasants some freedom to not work as much. ]]> 2019-04-08 23:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349736030 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349736204 According to http://www.flowofhistory.com/units/west/10/FC71, it states that the Black Death had raised the standard of living of many survivors who inherited estates from the plague's victims. One sign of this was that poor, peasant families, sat at the dinner table on a common bench and ate from a common plate, would now have individual stools and plates to use. This would be a better way of living for them, wealth would be evenly distributed, and recovery of the economy would be better after the Black Death epidemic.]]> 2019-04-08 23:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349736204 wbowman2 https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349737653 I believe that they could’ve used cold ice to numb that part of the body that’s infected so that they won't feel as much pain during surgery. They could’ve also used a certain chemical like iron or maggots to eat the infection off to cure the sores. ]]> 2019-04-08 23:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wbowman2/Survival_Guide_Crusades/wish/349737653
