Hello, poison friends! I hope you are all well and ready to discuss a subject that is well, a little dark. The Bubonic Plague! The Black Death! The Great Plague! We've all heard how the Black Death took out like 1/3 of Europe when it arrived there in the 1300s, but how did it get there and where did it come from. We are going back much earlier to look at previous bouts of plague and how the bacteria mutated to be so deadly as well as how and why the disease spread so quick and so far. We are also looking at what the people of the day thought about the plague and where it might have come from (as ya know they did not have the resources or understanding that we do today). That is this episode (part 1), but don't worry because when part 2 comes out, we are moving forward a bit in history because the plague did not stop there.

Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters! Please feel free to leave a comment or send us a DM for any questions, suggestions, or just to say, "hi."
