Public health officials in Colorado have confirmed that a human has tested positive for the plague, a rare but potentially deadly infectious disease that’s typically spread through flea bites.
The infected individual is from Pueblo County, according to the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment.
While the plague conjures nightmares of flea-infested rats and dreary medieval villages filled with the dead and dying, in the modern day things aren’t so grim.
Yeah my wife is now terrified of our indoor cats now contracting the plague somehow. Super fun times.
Wake me when a hemorrhagic fever crosses the Rockies.
“The” plague? As in, the OG plague to end all plagues from the 1300s? Fuuuuuuuuuucccckkkk.
On second thought with the way society is running right now, the end times might be an improvement 🤷
If it’s the black death, that’s the best news I’ve heard today cuz anribiotics work just fine.
for now
So… they finally identified Trump’s strain?
My mom got this yeeeears ago. Nonprofits have terrible housing, and the SPCA is no different.
Had it 2 years before they figured it out as it was so rare. Got a shot. Fine in a week.
