HuffPost
While it's rare for humans to contract the disease, health officials warn that it can turn serious if not immediately treated.
Health officials in Colorado are asking people to take precautions after plague was detected in six counties, including where a 10-year-old girl recently died from causes associated with the infectious disease, which can turn serious if not immediately untreated. The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) announced Thursday the rise of laboratory confirmed cases among samples of fleas and animals, which is not unusual during this time of year. “In Colorado, we expect to have fleas test positive for plague during the summer months,” said Jennifer House, deputy state epidemiologist and public health veterinarian for CDPHE. “While it’s rare for people to contract plague, we want to make sure everyone knows the symptoms.”
