The "Black Death" Plague

The Black Plague decimated medieval Europe, killing millions of people. What caused this devastating epidemic? And how did it infect so many people? In October of 1347, 12 ships arrived in Messina from the Black Sea. Most of the sailors were dead. The rest were very sick and covered in black boils. They were infected with the plague. While this is all ancient history, could the Black Plague affect us today? And if it did, what would happen to your body?
