Elmore County — Plague was confirmed this week in an Elmore County child. The child is recovering after receiving antibiotic treatment. “Plague is spread to humans through a bite from an infected flea. People can decrease their risk by treating their pets for fleas and avoiding contact with wildlife,” said Sarah Correll, D.V.M., Central District Health Department epidemiologist. “Wear insect repellant, long pants and socks when visiting plague affected areas.” It is not known whether the child was exposed to plague in Idaho or during a recent trip to Oregon. Plague has historically been found in wildlife in both states. Since 1990, eight human cases were confirmed in Oregon and two were confirmed in Idaho. Plague in humans is rare, but occurs naturally in some rodent populations, including ground squirrels in Idaho. Fleas spread the disease between animals. The disease can also be transmitted to humans by direct contact with infected animals or their fleas. Person-to-person transmission is extremely rare and this case was not a risk to others. Symptoms of plague usually occur within two to six days of exposure and include sudden onset of fever, chills, headache and weakness. In most cases, there is also a painful swelling of the lymph node in the groin, armpit, or neck. Plague signs in cats and dogs include fever, lethargy and loss of appetite. There may be a swelling in the lymph nodes under the jaw of pets. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment can greatly reduce the risk of death in people and pets. About Plague in Our Area Plague was identified in 2015 and 2016 in ground squirrels in both Elmore and south Ada counties. However, this season, no ground squirrel die offs or unusual behavior has been reported by state wildlife officials.

Not politics. Cure for the bubonic plague is vitamin C. A thread died for this. Kill yourself.

Y.Pestis outbreak again? Just what the fuck is going on there in the states?
William Thompson

The US has nine cases of plague a year on average, generally in the western states. The only reason this is more than a blurb is because it gives the news an excuse to have a headline with "plague" in it.

Noah Hughes
Seems like the jews are up to their old tricks again.
probably germ warfare,nipah is the norks and well the black plague is the brits and the americans although its pretty obvious as they have a sample of it in one of the hospitals in london in their archives and cdc got theirs from dug up bodies from alaska (thanks alex jones).

Whites have plague resistance due to the Black Death in the 1300s.
HOW THE FUCK AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO MASTURBATE TO HER? FFS DONT FUCKING POST SHIT LIKE THAT
Juan Roberts
I can't imagine that's true. We're not all descendents of infected peoples who were resistant, or who developed antibodies. We can't be. Maybe if it was 5,000 years ago, but not a few hundred.
Colton Cook
Where is Elmore county? Why not put the STATE in the title, dumbass OP? I had to CLICK in here to see where the fuck it's at. FUCK!!
Wyatt Hernandez
Disease continues to spread because shitskins have no sense of hygeine. Health inspectors run into the issue of being called racist because they keep busting shitskin restaurants for being filthy. Shitskins rely on antibiotics to undo the result of their filth and will eventually create resistant bacteria.

God bless you Plague-Chan, infect the brown children, please could you not infect the white children?
Blake Lewis
You know what I call these fucks in Eastern Washington/Oregon? Plague Rats.
The plague has always been in Easter Washington and Oregon. Don't feed the rodents and you'll be fine.
There's no such thing as 'latino', there's nothing latin about those fucking aztec homunculi abominations
