Surcease User ID: 491115 United States 08/26/2008 02:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How likely is this to spread? Quoting: WinningjobMost commonly spread through fleas,Summer is the peak of flea season(hatching in warm weather) Research suggests the plague has been lying dormant. There is always a chance for potential outbreaks,There would have to be direct contact with infected animals,or fleas carrying the bacteria.It's not airborn nor contacted by person to person... But if the strain was passed between animals and they quickly migrated and infected others,Then we should start worrying.Thing is there is no way to measure how far the disease has spread. “All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.”--Aldous Huxley |

OxygenX User ID: 477175 United Kingdom 08/26/2008 05:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | plague was a killer back in the days when people lived in filth and there were no medicines to cure it. Quoting: Free Store.The Indians had a clean natural environment The pox got them though Pox was introduced to them through contact with the "white man" for lack of a better term. Bubonic Plague is curable now as is Small pox so no real need to worry.
