Check For Fleas & Buboes Immediately

Hope for the Great Cleansing springs eternal:
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Alamos Campground in the Angeles National Forest has been shut down after a squirrel captured there tested positive for plague.

The campground will remain closed for at least ten days, according to Los Angeles County public health director Jonathan Fielding.

The squirrel was caught about two weeks ago.

All the squirrel burrows in the area near Gorman will be dusted for fleas, which can transmit the disease from wild rodents to humans.

Then, further tests will be performed before the campground is reopened.

There have been four cases of human plague in L.A. County since 1984, none of which were fatal.
Always w/ the fact-based party-pooping at the end. Killjoys.

    Do I get to say "One of these days a real plague" et cetera?
