The black death had three different kins of plague in it. First was the "Bubonic plague." This is the most known plague out of them all and in my opinion the most deadly. It infected it's victims lymphatic system which caused painful swelling of the lymph nodes to the size of eggs, black areas on skin, fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, exhaustion, and a horrible smell. Death normally took two to seven days to die.
Next was the "Pneumonic plague" which infected people's respiratory systems. The infection caused coughing, coughing up blood, chest pains, shortness of breath, and high fever. Usualy death happend within two days. Last was the "Septicemic plague." This plague infected the circulatory system and caused many symptoms of the Bubonic plague. It also caused seizures and a tendancy to bleed. This process normaly took less than a day for it's victims to die.
