The symptoms of bubonic plague hit suddenly, two to five days after exposure. They include fever, chills, malaise, muscle pain, headaches, seizures, and smooth, painful swollen lymph nodes. Which lymph nodes swell depends on where the flea bite occurred. Those in the groin are most commonly affected, but swelling can also occur in the armpits or neck.
