Nice.

No wonder Europe almost died of the Bubonic plague.

Their scientists robbed mousetraps to make paperweights.

75,000,000 people died because scientists had to keep their treeware from blowing off their desks. :doh:

You could not be more wrong. As per usual, you have shown that you have zero knowledge of history.

It had nothing to do with cleanliness. Jewish people have a specific blood group that is more prevalent in people of Semitic origin which is more resistant to the likes of the Bubonic plague.

They maybe you'd like to answer my question to Larnivec.

He's too smart to answer it ... let's see how smart you are:

What specific piece can you remove from a mousetrap and it still catch mice?

Here ... I'll ask it in one-syllable terms:

Various things. Effective quarantine, the general hygiene went up, people (inadvertently) stopped getting infected by the plagues pneumonic stage because of the belief that it was smells that caused the plague, warming climate. There wasn't one single reason why it stopped.

It wasn't mice, first of all. It was lice on rats.
And secondly, viruses can change from water borne to air borne very quickly. So mouse or rat traps would have fundamentally been useless.

I thought it was flea infestation due to vermin flourishing in unclean conditions

Lice are in the same family as fleas. And as I said, the virus changed from bloodborne to airborne quickly, so getting rid of the vermin would have done nothing to halt the spread of it.
