Here are the symptoms of Bubonic Plague so that you can be aware.
Due to its bite-based form of
infection, the bubonic plague is often the first step of a progressive series
of illnesses. Bubonic plague symptoms appear suddenly, usually 2–5 days after
exposure to the bacteria. Symptoms include:
- Acral gangrene: Gangrene of the extremities such as toes, fingers, lips and tip of the nose.[5]
- Chills
- General ill feeling (malaise)
- High fever (39 °Celsius; 102 °Fahrenheit)
- Muscle Cramps[6]
- Seizures
- Smooth, painful lymph gland swelling called a bubo, commonly found in the groin, but may occur in the armpits or neck, most often at the site of the initial infection (bite or scratch)
- Pain may occur in the area before the swelling appears
- Skin color changes to a pink hue in some very extreme cases
Other symptoms include heavy breathing,
continuous vomiting of blood (hematemesis),
aching limbs, coughing, and extreme pain. The pain is usually caused by the
decay or decomposition of the skin while the person is still alive. Additional
symptoms include extreme fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, lenticulae (black
dots scattered throughout the body), delirium and coma.
