Treatment of the victims



Here is what a medieval priest
might have looked liked.



        Since the Black Death was a new and completely unknown to the people of Europe, there was really nothing that could prevent the spreading of this disease. When people first got the symtoms of the Black Death, they knew what they had because the symtoms were so specific and deadly. The doctors really would have no way to cure the patient of this. However, they could maybe give some temporary relief to the patient.

       Well, I guess you could say that the Black Death was totally uncureable by doctors. Many people actually would go to priests to somehow have God spare their lives. This is another way that the Black Death was spread. The priests would often get the disease from the people that they were helping. So really, the Black Death found a way to get to you one way or another.
