LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)– The Larimer County Health Department confirmed that a teen died from the plague earlier this month.
Taylor Gaes died on June 8, most likely from fleas on a dead rodent or other animal on the family acreage.
The Larimer County Health Department said this is the first Larimer County resident confirmed to have contacted the plague since 1999.
Does that include gerbils and hairless hamsters?
What’s next – frogs and locusts?
🙂
nah, prolly get it from the white pitcher that threw a spitter at him…. NO WAY it could’ve come from the 100s of 1000s of 3rd world rat-people or goat-people infestinf Colorado
hey, they gotta make it a blue state somehow
Wonderful. I have to go to a horse event in Larimer County next month. I’d better pack a hazmat suit and breathing apparatus. 😉
Thank Obama….anyone from anywhere can come here….no health screening necessary. Just vote democrat.
Before he leaves office I believe we will be a true third world country.
That can’t be true. Plague is a third-world disease, and we are a modern, first-world, country. We need a second opinion of the diagnosis.
Another reason “rat-people” is entirely appropriate.
Thanks, Obola!
Thanks, Rat-People!
Or should that be “Other Rat-People?”
Probably not. According to the news article, “In recent decades, an average of seven human plague cases are reported each year nationwide according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most human cases in the United States are scattered in rural areas and occur predominantly in two regions:
Northern New Mexico, northern Arizona, and southern Colorado
and California, southern Oregon,
and far western Nevada”
So in other words, “Don’t give me a home where the buboes roam…”
