The victims of the plague or Black Death were not treated effectively. This is because there was no effective treatment. The treatments that were used were both gross and disturbing. One of the grossest treatments is when they cleaned themselves with vinegar and blood. BARF! Another weird treatment is when they used tobacco to treat the disease. Last time I checked, tobacco was bad for you.
Don't worry, there were a lot of other treatments that weren't so strange. The doctors gave the victims medicines to take. See.. That's pretty normal. The only thing not normal about this were the doctors. The doctors wore bird masks. These masks contained herbs that were said to protect the doctors from getting the disease as well.
Back to the treatments. Many burned substances that supposedly purified the air. They also used concoctions of herbs to relive symptoms. Even after all these treatments, there was still no known cure. WEIRDOS.... Kinda
