I understood that the real problem now isn't the fleas/rats but pneumonic spread of disease. One cough into your hand, it touches everything and there you go. Mini hand sanitizers are good and if someone gets sick, bleach to wipe everything they touch. About 10 years ago there was a big flu scare in the uk and headteachers were advised how to minimize the risk. Children are the biggest spreaders of disease.

I think you'll find that the consensus of opinion is that the fleas carried the plague but that the hygiene- or lack of it- of the humans of that time didn't help.

There is a theory that bed bugs living in clothes and bedding may have been a vector for the plague. This thread seems to have been a little prophetic considering the whole Covid19 thing....certainly those experts 🙄 at the Daily Mail seem to have got it right for once.
