Symptoms of Bubonic Plague
Early Symptoms-
Fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pains, diarrhea, decreased appetite, petechiae (tiny broken blood vessels).
Physical Symptoms-
Buboes, swelling of lymph nodes, blackening and death of tissue (gangrene) in your extremities. The blackening of tissue is pictured above.
The plague affected more than physically the people, but the society too. Appalling conditions surrounding the
people were reflected in their artwork. Below are examples of the gruesome paintings made. Some paintings were
very religious, depicting disturbing images full of demons since many believed the plague was punishment from God.
