Plague doctors wore distinctive masks that were meant to ward off the Black Death by allowing them to diagnose patients without getting infected. These beaked masks had long noses that contained aromatic herbs and spices such as lavender, camphor, and garlic, which were believed to have antibacterial properties. The plague doctor's mask was a symbol of their profession and authority during this time period in history when they played a vital role in combating the deadly disease.
