And why do we not have such flea infestations today? We still have
rats. No human is more than 5 metres away from a rat.

1. We have brown rats, not black rats, which were the carriers of
the disease
2. 5 metres is greater than the world long jump record for a flea
3. We don't in this country tolerate close association with any
kind of rats
4. We don't tolerate close association with any other carriers of
human fleas
5. Maybe the 14th Century outbreak led to natural selection for
resistance 6. We now have chemical insecticides and antibiotics
7. We are more knowledgeable about disease transmission pathways
