Oregon public health officials say teen girl has bubonic plague
On October 16th, a teen girl went on a hunting trip near Heppner, a small little city Oregon. When she was on this hunting trip she was bit by a flea. Five days from when she was bit, she became ill. The bite had effected her horribly and resulted with her receiving the Bubonic Plague! Yes she is hospitalized because she went there there days after she was bit. Her condition currently is under investigation, but what they do know is she is in ICU awaiting more tests.
Analysis: The Bubonic Plague can be deadly if not caught early enough. The Bubonic Plague was more common in the early years and is very rare now days. It is carried by squirrels, fleas, chipmunks etc. When the animal dies it's fleas can carry the disease by biting humans or other animals! This is just one person getting it, so it's not so severe right now with it spreading to others, but anyone can get bit by a random flea that was carrying the disease!
