Fascinating facts about the plague doctor's mask from the time of the plague

The mask of a plague doctor is today a symbol of the terrifying effects of the plague that ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages. Plague doctor masks are not only eerie, but they were once of utmost importance to medical personnel. Unlike today, where we have the right medical equipment and hygiene, doctors in the 17th century had to fend off thoughts of the plague. The characteristic shape of the mask with the long beak was supposedly designed to prevent inhalation of “bad odors” that were believed to be responsible for spreading the disease.

Inside the beaked mask, aromatic herbs were often placed to consider the air as “healthy.” This led to the invention of an entire array of strange theories regarding the transmission of this devastating disease. Additionally, plague doctor masks were part of a deep-rooted societal fascination with death and the unknown.
