History reliving itself
The Times Online is reporting that an LA woman is infected with the “Black Plague”.
A woman in Los Angeles has been taken to hospital suffering from bubonic plague, doctors have confirmed.
The woman probably caught the disease after being bitten by infected fleas in her home, said Dr Jonathan Fielding, the county’s director of public health.
Fleas! Those damn things that seem impossible to squish. I remember seeing a few and realizing that it takes a lot more than a firm step to squash the bastards.
