How the Black Death Transmitted to Humans | Chemicals and Chaos

Welcome to another post. Today, in Chemicals and Chaos, we had to write a Basic Body paragraph for how the rats transmitted the plague to humans.

Fleas and rats spread the Black Death. Firstly, the rat had the plague, next, the flea drinks the rat’s blood and gets the disease. Thirdly, the flea sits on a person and bites the person’s body, in that process, the flea vomits, puking the disease to the person. This shows how easily the Black Death could spread throughout Europe. Once the humans caught the plague, they showed a series of symptoms.
