What were the different variations of the Plague and how did they effect people?

         There were three main types of the Plague. The first type was the Bubonic Plague which was the most common type infected the lymphatic system. This variation had many symptoms including lumps or bumps on the skin. Your tongue would turn black and you would develop dark bruises. You could also experience swelling lymph nodes, black skin, fever, chills, headache, and bad smell.The Bubonic Plague was spread through fleas that were carried on rats. This type of Plague would usually kill in 2-7 days.

         The second type of Plague was the Pneumonic Plague. This type of Plague effected the respiratory system. Some symptoms of the Pneumonic Plague are coughing, coughing up blood, chest pains, short breath, and high fever. Most of the time this type of Plague killed in less than 2 days.

         The third type of Plague was the Septicemic Plague. This is the least common type of Plague and the Septicemic Plague effected the circulatory system. Symptoms include seizures and tendency to bleed. If you caught this type of the Plague then you would most likely die within 1 day.

         Each of these types of plague are very deadly and was the cause of many lost lives. The three types of the Plague were very scary for the people living there at the time even thought it doesn't seem like it cause there are little to no cases of the disease today.
