Teenage girl in Oregon hospitalized with bubonic plague
"A teenage girl in Oregon has tested positive for bubonic plague, state health officials said on Thursday.
The girl was believed to have been infected by a flea bite during a hunting trip earlier this month, according to the Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Division and the Crook County Public Health Department.
The teen was in an intensive care unit at a hospital in Bend, in central Oregon, health officials said. Her condition was not known."
Rather than all the focus on the recent ebola outbreak as a worry for us here in the US, this is what we should worry about. Avoiding an ebola patient's easy enough. Try avoiding fleas.
