Interesting facts about the plague and the Black Death

The plague, also known as the Black Death, was a devastating disease that plagued Europe in the 14th century. This epidemic spread rapidly and led to millions of deaths. The Black Death was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and transmitted through fleas and rodents, especially rats. During this time, knowledge about hygienic measures and disease transmission was very limited. People often reacted with fear and despair. They viewed diseases as punishment from God or as evil forces. Quarantine measures were implemented in many cities to curb the spread of the plague. Doctors wore special masks with long beaks, which contained herbs, to ward off the “bad smell” they believed was the cause of the disease. The motif in our coloring page offers a fascinating insight into this period and stimulates discussion about history and health education.
