| | Black Death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The practice of alchemy as medicine, previously considered the norm for most doctors, slowly began to wane as the citizenry began to realize that it seldom affected the progress of the epidemic and that some of the potions and "cures" used by many alchemists only helped to worsen the condition of the sick. | | | Whether or not this theory is accurate, it is clear that several pre-existing conditions such as war, famine, and weather contributed to the severity of the Black Death. | | | The line of research is new and there are questions and further research is needed, but it does pose an interesting theory that man-caused climate change is older than current theories suggest. |

| | The History of the Black Death |
| | However, the real diagnostic feature of the Black Death was the haemorrhagic red spots on the chest, which were called God’s tokens and were the result of bleeding from damaged blood vessels under the skin. | | | Occasionally today it is transmitted to humans from peridomestic rats and there are some 1600 cases a year which are readily cured by antibiotics. | | | With new 20/20 vision we can see how stories have been embellished while many facts (like the 40-day quarantine) have been completely ignored. |
