Z raziskovanjem in zdravljenjem kuge se je ukvarjal tudi Paracelsus (1493–1541), švicarski zdravnik, alkimist in filozof, ki ga prištevamo med utemeljitelje moderne medicine in farmacije. Prepričan ...je bil, da je bolezni mogoče zdraviti s kemičnimi sredstvi. Sestavil je različna mineralna zdravila (spojine z žveplom, svincem, antimonom in živim srebrom) ter v skladu s prepričanjem, da le odmerek ločuje strup od zdravila, uvedel previdno in natančno odmerjanje zdravil.Spisal je številna dela s področja medicine, farmacije, filozofije narave, astrologije in teologije, večina jih je izšla šele po njegovi smrti. Knjižnica Ivana Potrča hrani Huserjevo izdajo Paracelsusovih zbranih del (Strasbourg, 1616), v kateri so tudi njegovi spisi o kugi (Zwei Bücher von den Pestilenz).
