Who were the victims of the black death? People over the age of 60 apparently managed better than people in their late 50's. Although it was said that older men were particularly more likely to get the black death.
How were the dead buried? There was some uncertainty about how those that died were actually buried and how they got rid of the plague at the same time, it was said that they were wrapped and buried into shallow graves stacked on top of one another. In other theories it was also said that they were burnt to get rid of the plague.
What were the three strands of the plague? The three stands of the plague were called bubonic/swollen lymph nodes in the armpits and groin. Lymph nodes are small lumps of tissue that contain white blood cells, which fight infection, septicemic which is a very serious infection in the bloodstream, also known as blood poisoning. The third strand was pneumonic which affects the lungs.
