The horror of the Black Plague

In 1331 China suffered a hysterical outbreak of a disease called “Black Plague”

It spread through China's population like wind killing old, young, poor, rich, weak, strong alike.

It all started with intense chest pains and soaking sweat later they began to cough up blood.

BY 1340 it spread to India by the merchants and. It was rumoured the it spread to Egypt and killing 7000 people a day.

In October the same day there was a shipwreck caused by the black death because the ship carried people who were either dead or ill from the plague.In Europe  the disease took a different form. The victims suffered headaches and couldn't bare bright light then they would have a burning fever and icy chillies along with pain on their limbs.Vomiting followed… but that wasn’t the worst, a couple of days later they would discover lumps called buboes that appeared on the neck inside of their thighs and the underarms and were excruciatingly painful. They would start of small but grew to the size of an apple, eventually these lumps would blackened and split opened with pus and blood dripping out of them…. The victims would soon be dead within a week.
