The Doctors: Bubonic Plague In Michigan

For their News in 2:00, The Doctors shared that the Detroit Free Press is reporting that a Michigan resident has contracted the bubonic plague. Officials say there is no cause for alarm. According to the CDC, 14 human cases of the plague have been reported in the Western U.S. this year, including four deaths. People are most often infected by bites from fleas or direct contact with the tissues of body fluids from an infected animal. The riskiest areas include those that offer food and shelter for rodents. The Black Death Plague in Europe killed millions in the 1300’s.
