Bubonic Plague rocks Oregon !

A young lady is believed to have contracted bubonic plague from a bug on a chasing trip, as indicated by Oregon health authorities. The Crook County young lady became ill five days after the trip began on Oct. 16; she’s been hospitalized in Bend, Ore., since Oct. 24.  Sickness is an irresistible bacterial illness that is carried by squirrels and different rodents and spread by their fleas.

The symptoms of bubonic plague range from a fever and headache to painfully swollen and inflamed lymph nodes — or buboes.

As per The Associated Press, “In 2012, an Oregon man lost his fingers and toes to the disease. He had gotten the infection from his cat in the wake of attempting to remove a mouse from the cat’s throat.”
