Colorado health officials have confirmed that a resident has contracted the bacterial infection that causes the plague. The Bubonic Plague is the deadly medieval disease that can cause patients to cough up blood.
It is not known how the individual became infected. However, the bacteria can be passed by touching wild rodents and the bites of infected fleas. It can also be spread from the droplets of a sick person.
Symptoms of the plague can resemble those of the flu, including sudden fever, chills, severe head and muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting.
It can also cause swollen lymph nodes called buboes, which can become inflamed and tender, and tissues like the hands and feet may turn black—hence the name ‘black death’.
In the medieval ages, thousands died. People can still die from it.
If untreated, it can spread to the lungs and other organs, as well as the blood, with potentially fatal consequences.
While the source of infection in Colorado is unknown, scientists have previously found samples of the bacteria living in squirrels in the state.
One woman caught it from her cat but was diagnosed early and survived. A young girl died in 2015 from it. There were 22 cases that year.
Usually, there are seven cases a year.
Brought to you by “wide open borders” democrat policies.
It’s always around, no big whoop…
Ah, another hoax. An oldie but a goodie. They used to poison the wells, make people sick, then call it the plague. Sound familiar? Now they use masks, tests, and shots instead of wells.
The bubonic plague is not a hoax. Deer mice carry it all the time in New Mexico and Colorado. A few people contract this disease every year and get extremely ill from it. Take your fake NASA BS and ram it.
I would guess it’s one of the illegals carried it to the US.
Didn’t Colorado just open a bioweapons lab? Couldn’t be that.
It couldn’t possibly be from some recent, illegal, unvetted person(s) who entered through our open borders? We’re aware that many arriving here are carrying all kinds of diseases. There’s just so much we aren’t being told.
All the future illegal immigrants heading for our border should be informed that they will be getting ‘Vaxed’ every time they’re caught crossing.
Great. LIst all the symptoms so that several thousand paranoid people who love to be perpetual patients can run to their doctors and get MORE drugs.
I wonder if they have a vaccine we will all have to get now.
Or, is it just for the magical “Avian Flu”?
Regardless, I hope the person gets well.
No vaccine, just a simple regimen of antibiotics. This article really could have been better written. The bubonic plague bacteria is endemic in the state and has nothing to do with illegal immigrants or pharmaceutical companies.
