What is the plague?
The plague is a highly infectious and often deadly disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is most commonly associated with the Black Death pandemic in the 14th century, which killed millions of people in Europe. The plague is typically transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas that have fed on small mammals such as rats. There are three main forms of the plague: bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic, each with its own set of symptoms and methods of transmission. While the plague is now rare in most parts of the world, it still exists in some regions and can be treated with antibiotics if diagnosed early.

How does the plague progress?
The plague typically progresses in three stages: the bubonic plague, septicemic plague, and pneumonic plague. The bubonic plague is characterized by swollen and painful lymph nodes, fever, chills, and weakness. If left untreated, the bacteria can spread to the bloodstream, causing septicemic plague. Finally, the infection can reach the lungs, leading to pneumonic plague, which is highly contagious and can be transmitted through respiratory droplets. Without prompt treatment with antibiotics, the plague can be fatal.
