BLOODSUCKER BIO In the Middle Ages, “vampires” were often blamed for the unexplained spread of disease. Superstitious villagers weren’t completely wrong . . . the culprits were actually miniature vampires — not humans! Like ticks, fleas are known to spread diseases with their saliva. In medieval times, fleas spread the bubonic plague from rats to humans. After biting infected rats, the fleas passed the bacteria Yersinia pestis on to humans. The “Black Death,” so called because it produced black sores on the skin, killed 20 million people in Europe — almost a third of the continent’s population — possibly the worst “vampire” invasion of all time!
