    Fleas test positive for the plague in parts of Arizona

    I found this on my local MSM station. Not sure how up to date it is.

    http://www.wfsb.com/story/36127163/f...autostart=true

    TAYLOR, Ariz. (3TV/CBS5) — Health officials are urging people to take precautions after a second Arizona county in two weeks confirmed that fleas in the area have tested positive for plague.

    The announcement by Navajo County Public Health officials on Friday comes one week after Coconino County officials found prairie dogs in the area to be carrying fleas with the plague -- the infectious disease infamous for killing millions of Europeans in the Middle Ages.

    The fleas in Navajo County were found near the town of Taylor.
    Health officials have notified the residents whose property will be treated. The area will be closely monitored to determine if further action is required.

    People are advised to take certain measures to reduce the risk of exposure to this serious disease, which can be present in fleas, rodents, rabbits and predators that feed on these animals.

    The disease can be transmitted to humans and other animals by the bite of an infected flea or by direct contact with an infected animal.

    To limit possible exposure, people are encouraged to avoid rodent burrows and keep dogs on a leash as required by Arizona state law.
    An abundance of active prairie dogs doesn’t indicate the disease is present.

    However, a sudden die-off of prairie dogs and rodents may be an indicator of plague. Persons noticing a sudden die-off of rodents or rabbits are urged to contact the Navajo County Health Department.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    Our dogs are on so many medications and vaccinations, there is not a self-respeccting germ out there that can survive within 20 feet of them!
