The primary culprits in transmitting this disease were Oriental Rat Fleas carried on the back of black rats. There were many efforts taken to prevent the disease but most were not effective.

It can be contracted through contact with animals or infected animal skin products (e.g. sheep skin, wool or cow hides, which are used for clothing or seat covers, drum skins, etc.) (DAFF, 2008), The bacteria can enter the body through any minor abrasion, where it will then fester and form a necrotic ulcer, a painless red ring of inflamed flesh with a black center known as “eschar”. If left untreated for long enough, the bacteria eventually works it’s way into the blood stream (Thompson, M. W., 2003), causing septicemia and death in 5-20% of sufferers (BHC, 2012). • Gastrointestinal (GI) anthrax, as its name suggests, occurs when the bacteria is ingested.
When the fleas had their fill they would hop off the rat and onto their next victim, most likely a human, infecting them with the plague. The plague reached London around 1348 and people were dying rapidly. Horrible living conditions made the plague easier and faster to spread. This allowed the plague to evolve and come about in two different ways.
It was not until 1894 that scientists discovered the cause of the plague. It came from a germ which lived on fleas that lived on the Black Rats. When the rats died, the flea moved to live on humans, and the plague germ got into their blood. Towns in the middle Ages were crowded, dirty places. There was a lot of rubbish about for the rats to feed on.
