I lived in Colorado 3 years ago, and remember hearing about a bubonic plague outbreak in Boulder while I was there. Something about a Gunnison Black Prarie Dog someone decided to keep as a pet. This is probably a rehash of that old story.

It doesn't mean much. There were about a dozen cases last year. With modern medicine, better health, cleaner water, better sanitation, and access to emergency rooms all over, the bubonic plague isn't much worse than any common flu these days.

What the hell ? Try Fukushima Radiation, not the Bubonic plague.

You mean this:

Or is it on going?

Now that we have this stuff called antibiotics it is a non issue. The guy was treated and released, even the CAT lived.

However, if TSHTF for real, and people are without clean running water and stocks of antibiotics, and everyone is on a looting rampage and rioting for food etc, and THEN you get a plague outbreak........

Plague is endemic to the Southwest,so is an Ebola cousin hemorogic fever called Hanta...the resevoir is unknown but believed to be a type of rodent....nothing new here....I have Yellow Fever,Malaria,Cholera and Typhoid endemic to my area of the Southeast.
An easy way to find out if something is living in your area is to call the Local Helath Dept and see what sort of vaccinations they offer....anywhere in the Southwest you can get a Plague booster for a few bucks....and tetracycline cures the thing in a week

One or a few prairie dogs in the Boulder County area has been found with bubonic plague over the years. I've lived in the Boulder area for many years and am so tired of reading about them. All I can say is that they should be called what they really are - field rats. They're rodents and should be exterminated, not relocated at the cost of tens of thousands of dollars. They've completely destroyed peoples' properties and are 'protected'. It is a crime to kill one on your own property. Boulder has no problem killing mountain lions and bears when they try to reclaim their area in the foothills and neighborhoods next to them but these rodents are allowed to roam free and spread disease all over the place. If left unchecked, field rats can multiply into the millions within just a few years. There are kids in Boulder with no homes, no parents and no food and the city caters to these dang rats like they were gold. Killing is a last resort but they've destroyed playgrounds which are now declared prairie dog reserves. All the money spent could really be used in better ways. The twisted priorities of the Boulder City Council to placate these bleeding heart rodent lovers is robbing people of their own dang land and truly risking an outbreak of the plague. They're everywhere. Ya got me started.
