What Was the Black Death?
10. Does the Black Death Still Exist Today?
While the Black Death does not cause as much death and destruction as it did in the 14th century, the bubonic plague does, in fact, still exist today. A few cases present themselves in various countries across the world annually, but antibiotics are useful for combatting the disease.
Medical professionals and government authorities take caution every time the plague presents itself. Fortunately, with modern medicine, there is a clear protocol and often positive diagnosis for the condition, as so much more is known about how it is spread and can be treated.
