The black death
  1. devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that affected Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s.
    1. The plague reached Europe in October 1347, when 12 Black Sea ships docked in the Sicilian port of Messina.
    2. At the beginning of the disease, there are certain inflammations, either in the groin or under the armpits ... they increased to the greatness of a common apple, others to the size of an egg, a little more and another less.
      1. The Black Death epidemic had run its course in the early 1350s, but the plague reappeared every few generations for centuries.
        1. Modern sanitation and public health practices have largely mitigated the impact of the disease, but have not eliminated it.
          1. According to a doctor, for example, "instantaneous death occurs when the air spirit that escapes from the patient's eyes hits the healthy person who is nearby and looks at the patient." In fact, so many sheep died that one of the consequences of the Black Death was a shortage of European wool.
