Reached British Isles and Scandinavia in 1349, and invading Scottish brought it back to their homeland. The black death traveled via fleas on rats along trade routes cultivated by unsanitary practices like no sewage.

Fever, headache, and the development of tender swollen lymph nodes near the area bitten by an infected flea. Usually, the symptoms of the plague typically appear within one week of exposure.
