Before the plague orignin's were figured out there was Galen's theory. In this theory, the disease was spread by miasmas, or poisonous vapors from swamps that corrupted the air.(Stefani) People were urged to stay away from such things and keep inside. Also people were to wash their hands and feet often but not their body for that it opens up the pores, another way for disease to enter. One found that sleeping on your back was discouraged because it allowed for foul vapors to enter noses more easily. People also held flowes under the nose because they thought that foul smelling air cause the plague. Physicians had this ludacris theory that when someone was infected they would bled them from the heart to get the over heated blood out before it could circulate. They would also bled near the buoes, to heal infected areas. Bleeding was meant to cool down the body, but in realality it only made the patient weaker. Another "cure" was to light a large bonfire and make sure that the miasmas did not find you. (Stefani) .
