How do you know when you have gotten the plague?

You definitely knew when you had gotten the plague. The symptoms were really obvious and disturbing! Some of the symptoms were painfully swollen lymph nodes or buboes. Internal bleeding, throwing up and large bruises in some cases the bacilli entered the blood stream, in other cases it went into the nervous system. Some people only lasted a day or two others lasted two or three.
             There are three different types of the black death. Bubonic, Septicemic, Pneumonic they all had different symptoms but some symptoms were the same. In most cases either you had the horrible disease or you knew somone with it. I personally would try to avoid getting these bacteria because it is not fun!!
