The Black Death occurred in Europe during 1347-1351, and has affected the way that scientists and researchers look at diseases today.

No one knew exactly how the Black Death was transmitted from one patient to another, or how to prevent and treat it. “Physicians relied on crude and unsophisticated techniques such as bloodletting, boil-lancing and superstitious practices which include burning aromatic herbs and bathing in rose water or vinegar”…
