"Symptoms of The Black Death" - Last Days

Once you've caught the disease [The Bubonic Plague] it usually meant death; it was more than likely to be inevitable. However to understand the situation of the victims who caught such a terrible illness; one must have the knowledge of what they went through. The symptoms of The Bubonic Plague, yet it may pass our minds but, there weren't only one type of plagues that spread through the 14th Century, not two, but three. The most common and revolting at least externally, the Bubonic Plague; once the Bubonic has reached the lungs, we then transfer onto the next type. That being the Pneumonic Plague, infecting the respiratory system; then the third, the Septicaemic Plague, which infects the circulatory system, the blood. How gruesome as it may be seen, the Bubonic Plague was the weakest of the three, as both the Pneumonic and Septicaemic Plague has a mortality rate of almost 100%.
Now looking at the last days of the millions of people that lived in Europe, for most, after the being the victim of the disease, most often, they would last 5 days. Here is what the symptoms they faced at the time.
