Plague victims are individuals who have contracted a disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which is responsible for the historical outbreaks known as the Black Death. Symptoms often include fever, chills, weakness, and swollen lymph nodes, known as buboes. The disease can spread through flea bites or contact with infected animals or humans. Throughout history, plague victims faced significant social stigma and fear, leading to isolation and quarantine measures. Many communities experienced high mortality rates, resulting in profound impacts on population dynamics and societal structures. The plague has shaped public health responses and influenced cultural perceptions of disease.
