What were some of the symptoms of the Black Death?

The plague had many symptoms... form sickening to almost normal. One of the grossest symptoms... also the one that was most common were the purple and black blotches all over victims bodies and when there skin started to lesson. Another were the very painful boils that aappeared. Also, when the infected coughed up puss and blood...... BLAA!!! :P That's absolutely disgusting!
 Even though there were really gross symptoms, there were also some normal things too. For example, infected got dreadful headaches, which are like migraines. Others are fever, rash, and inflammation of the lymph glands. Now a days, when your lymph glands swelled up, it's very dangerous... I can't imagine what it was like back then. Scary...
