I have chosen a black plague victim for my skin. The Black Plague/Death, was one of the darkest events in the Middle Ages. The disease was called the Black death due to black swellings (first red) on the skin. These swellings were painful and were one of the key signatures of the disease. The plague was spread across Europe by fleas and rodents. Other symptoms caused by the plague were vomiting, fever, muscle pains, and mental disorientation. The outbreak lasted about 60 years. The plague was so devastating it wiped out one third of Europe's population, about 200 million people. Victims would usually die within two to four days after getting the disease.
I gathered this information from www.middle-ages.org.uk/black-death.htm . Thank you and I hope you enjoy my skin.
