Reply to comment by Linzold in [eli5] Black plaque was not exactly cured, how did it just disappear from Europe in 1353? by Linzold

The most serious form is septicemic plague, which is the lease common because you generally die within 24 hours of symptoms presenting without massive doses of antibiotics
