How was it Treated?

People tried many times to stop the spread of the plague but all of their attempts failed. They thought God had sent the plague to punish them for their sins. They thought that if the punished theirselves then God would end the plague, saving the people. So they paraded through the streets of towns whipping themselves as a self punishment.Unknowingly the people were actualy spreading the plagues from town to town. some people fled the towns and went to the country trying to escape their chance of death.


People tried many ways to at least keep themsevles from getting the plague. Some people left to the country but others wanted to keep from getting it while staying in their home. Because of that, many doctors had to keep healthy to try treating people. The wore leather maskes to keep the plague spreading fleas and other insects from biteing them. The masks were also shaped like bird beaks to scare insects away with a fear of being eatin.
