The Black Death disappeared in winter because the whole plague came from infected fleas, and in the winter, fleas are dormant, so the fleas couldn't bite people to spread the disease. However, in the summer, fleas are not dormant, so they continue to spread the Black Death to people. This is ironic because most sicknesses are worse in the winter than in the summer.
black death (plague) and crusades
There were a number of plagues during the Middle Ages. The one you are asking about is most likely the Black Death, which arrived in Europe in 1347 and went on for five years or so. The Black Death was one of the most important events of the Middle Ages and had a profound effect on society. Another important medieval plagues was the Plague of Justinian, in the 6th century.
In medieval times there was little knowledge about medicine or sanitation. So they caught diseases easily and the most common was probably the black death (or bubonic plague). I have listed some common ones here: · Malaria · Flu · Leprosy · Smallpox · Typhoid · Diphtheria · Dysentery I hope this helps =)
Many of them were not really doctors, but Black Death doctors that went around doing blood lettind while trying to cure the Plague.
An epidemic happens when an unusually large number of people suffer from the same disease. During the Middle Ages, there were a number of epidemics. Two of the most important were the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death, both of which were great epidemics of bubonic plague. There were also other epidemics, including outbreaks of small pox, typhus, cholera, typhoid fever, and leprosy. These epidemics caused great loss of life. The Black Death killed about a third of all the people in Europe during the course of only three to five years, and in some areas, three out of every four people died in the short time it took the plague to go through. Since people did not have any idea how these diseases were spread, most people could do little about them but pray.
