Colorado health officials have confirmed that a resident has contracted the bacterial infection that causes the plague.
The deadly medieval disease can cause patients to cough up blood and for their skin to blacken – hence its ominous nickname ‘black death’.
It is not known how the individual became infected, however the bacteria can be passed via touching wild rodents and the bites of infected fleas.
Last year a Colorado native caught the disease from their pet cat. The US confirms just seven cases of plague every year.
Symptoms of the plague can look similar to those of flu, including sudden fever, chills, severe head and muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting.
Illegals ??
It came across the border
Yes, by illegals.
How stupid can you be? It’s the Plague! An ancient disease that existed long before your xenophobic complaints about immigrants.
