The swellings caused by the Black Death, known as buboes, would typically become painful and inflamed. In many cases, they would either rupture and drain pus or lead to septicemia and death if the infection progressed. Some patients might survive, but the mortality rate was extremely high, with many succumbing to the disease within days of exhibiting symptoms. Those who recovered often faced long-term health issues and scars from the swellings.
