Heratic Plague

The Heratic Plague, otherwise known as the Uralic Plague or the Southern Plague, was a bacterial plague during the 1400s in the regions now known as Lyonheimer and The Kingdom Of Blechingia in the 1400s, and lasted until around the very early 1600s. The plague was so deadly that it, supposedly, killed around half of the people who got it. Some of the primary symptoms were itchy skin, intense hives (rashes), vomiting and extreme stabbing pain in the stomach. After around 3 days, a majority of the people who got the virus would have died, usually from bowel failure. Due to the close quarters of the cities at the time, it was a serious problem as it was extremely contagious.

Cause

Spider Mites, most often infected

The Heratic Plague was an infection of the lymphatic system. It was usually transmitted by infected mites, who got the disease off of native rats. These mites would usually be found in beds, as they were unwashed and unclean. The disease can be transmitted by direct contact with infected tissue or exposure to the cough of another human. The mite is parasitic on house and field rats, and seeks out other prey when its rodent hosts die. Due to the close quarters of cities such as Judapest, which has been credited as the main city and contributor to the spread of the plague, the plague spread fast.
