| The Bubonic Plague creates swellings on the lymph glands under the skin, which turn black. Also the skin bruises very easily.

And the plague was certainly a black time in that sense!...(Answered by anna) | |

The song arose in the streets of London in 1665 during the plague outbreak. Ring o'roses refers to the small red rash like areas on infected people. Pocket full of posies was in reference to the fact that people used to believe that evil smells were the poisonous breath of demons who brought the disease.

Thousands of people ...(Answered by Canadian Ken) | |
