  13. And how did it spread ACROSS Europe? • 1348-A boat arrived (from Constantinople) to Messina Italy • Everyone on board was dead • As people took the goods off the boats, the germs (and rats) started to spread • People didn’t know what caused the spread and just kept trading • European cities were so dirty and that did not help! • But certain communities, like the Jews, were more isolated and had cleaner daily practices, so they were not affected as much.
