Plague pit found in London. - bigpaul - 15 March 2013
Now, is it only me, but dosent this open a can of worms so to speak? we dont know how long the Black Death can lie dormant or what can happen when you start extracting DNA and old teeth?? watch and wait, if you see some of the Archeologists dropping dead i was right!

How long can flea eggs stay dormant/survive for? I know they can last through bad winters and only take 7 seconds to hatch. Theres been cases of archeologists finding frogs/toads in dried mud inside the pyramids.so all it would take is one surving flea with the plaque.

Our biology teacher was discussing this, and apparently some biologists think it might have been a previously unknown, hemorrhagic virus.
