Causes

= //** C a u **// //** s e s  **// :   ﻿In the middle ages towns were very crowed and dirty where sickness and disease spread very rapidly. One of the main causes of the Black Plague were rats. In these towns rats easily got into lots of garbage where many fleas thrived and soon the rats became infested. The towns being as compacted as they were, it was an easy task for flees to move from one host to the next: humans. The germs from the fleas soon moved into people's blood and they became very ill and died within days. Another idea as to how this outbreak started was the idea that the towns were so populated and foul that people often caught this deadly disease from the bad air that surrounded them. =
