According to historical records, buboes were characteristic of the pandemic responsible for the Black Death and perhaps other ancient pandemics.

At the time of such pandemics, it was commonly believed by doctors that buboes should be burst; hen feathers were reportedly used for such a purposes.
Plague doctors practiced bloodletting and other remedies such as putting frogs or leeches on the buboes to "rebalance the humors" as a normal routine.
