  • Rubbing onions, herbs or a chopped up snake (if available) on the boils or cutting up a pigeon and rubbing it over an infected body.
  • Drinking vinegar, eating crushed minerals, arsenic, mercury or even ten-year-old treacle!
  • Sitting close to a fire or in a sewer to drive out the fever, or fumigating the house with herbs to purify the air.
  • People who believed God was punishing you for your sin, 'flagellants', went on processions whipping themselves.
  • In the 1361 - 1364 outbreak, doctors learned how to help the patient recover by bursting the buboes.
  • Doctors often tested urine for colour and health. Some even tasted it to test. (BBC)
