Hmmm... [/quote] the man's neice explains what happened in the comments section at the link.. http://www.ktvz.com/news/31180725/detail.html the cat had something stuck in it's throat that he was trying to remove that they thought may have been a mouse. [/quote] If that's true, we owe the hippie an apology. What he did was an act of mercy. I didn't think Oregon as a very likely place for a disease like this one. All the cases I've ever heard of in the States have been in warmer climates, like here in the Southwest. [/quote] it's doubtful that he's a hippie since his son claims he's a veteran and the VA turned him away for care when he became ill..and yea, plague does seem to be sort of rare for that area plague map http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/plague/plagwest.htm [/quote]
Original Message
A man in Oregon has been infected with the plague, the same disease that wiped out up to 60 percent of Europe in the Middle Ages.
He caught the rare, but deadly, strain of the bacteria after he was bitten on the hand trying to pry a dead mouse from the jaws of a stray neighborhood cat.
The man, whose name was not released, is currently fighting the most horrific form of the disease, septicemic plague, which can cause victims to bleed from the mouth, nose and rectum, according to health officials.
