        Posies, which are small bunches of flowers. This is where the "Ring Around the Rosie" nursery rhyme comes from.

        I know the masks revolve around the black plague... and what was in the masks might as well have been snake oil, so....

        Wrong. It often contained dried flowers and other things to mask the odor of decaying bodies they were constantly exposed to.

        I'm sure more than one thing was used but if you take the quiz, flowers is not the answer they're looking for

        ok... whatever was in the masks was meant to prevent the transfer of the illness..... hope this helps. I apologize to hipsters in Tennessee.

        Not sure who's in TN but it was vinegar. The answer is vinegar.
