You might be thinking, why is there a flea on this button and not a plague doctor or a rat? Excellent. This is exactly what I wanted. You see, plague masks were not introduced until the 17th century so it's a misconception that they were around during the Black Death (which took place in the 14th century.) And the poor black rat was just a scapegoat - it was actually the flea that transmitted the disease. If you buy this button, you too can spread this useful information to anyone who asks!
