In the following pictures, you will see a person [me] become infected with the black plague & end up dying. Naturally, these pictures are not meant to be an exact representation of what happened in the time period- it's more of a spoof. :]
__________________
Oh no! A pair of infected rats!
Even worse- the rat has humongous infected fleas on it!
The rat just bit my arm- I'm doomed!
Patients were given theriac, which was made of snake skins, to try & cure the plague.
Drinking the theriac.
Doctors lanced the boils in an attempt to get rid of them.
Alas, the patient on the deathbed.
Chalk up another death to the black plague!
Humans & rats weren't the only ones who could get the plague- so could other animals. Run for your life, Gooshy!
THE END!
[[ Many thanks to my best friend for helping me take pictures & for letting her cat become internet famous. ;) ]]
