BEND, Ore. (KPTV/Gray News) - Health officials in Oregon revealed that the first human case of the plague in Oregon in over eight years occurred in a resident of rural Deschutes County.

The Deschutes County Health Services said the person was most likely infected by their pet cat, who had displayed symptoms.

Officials said the most common way for humans to contract the plague is through flea bites that contain it. Pets kept in the home can also contract the disease if they chase rats infected with it.

After they contact the plague, pets can pass it onto their owners through bodily fluids or tissue, like from respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. Pets can also bring home fleas infected with plague which can then bite people.

One of my poor dogs no longer has a purpose in life. He lives to chase bubonic rats.

There are cases of the plague that pop up every now and then, even in the US.

From the high point of American strength in the 80’s and 90’s to the collapse of the empire you see today has been hard and fast.

We have them virtually every year. Mainly related to prarie dogs, which is why people out west slaughter them like it's going out of style.
