.... fleas in transported freight, or by the fleas on their human hosts?Although the evidence is mixed and debatable, it is suggested they all played a role. There is evidence to support that plague was caught from baggage and bales of clothes and cloth, as in Eyam in Derbyshire in 1665. There is also existing evidence that human transmission is solely responsible.

.... All her hopes and dreams had been shattered into a million pieces because of one mistake. If only there was a way to go back in time and change the past so that our present will be normal. As normal as a 15 year old girl should be. With problems relating to boys and meeting assignment deadlines, rather than the hard stuff. The kind of stuff a baby would otherwise provide to her with open arms. Unfortunately there isn’t, so we were left with the option of ending the baby’s life.
