A lot more common than you might think.





';Ground squirrels can harbor diseases harmful to humans, particularly when squirrel populations are dense. A major concern is bubonic plague transmitted to humans by fleas carried on the squirrels. Ground squirrels are susceptible to plague, which has wiped out entire colonies. If you find unusual numbers of squirrels or other rodents dead for no apparent reason, notify public health officials. Do not handle dead squirrels under these circumstances.';May 30, 2006 squirrel with bubonic plague?
sure. he lives on the moon with Jessica Alba.
I heard about it. It's not an uncommon thing, relatively speaking. Plague is still around after all these years. But it's not as virulent as it once was.


Leprosy is still around, too. In fact, polio is probably less common than either of these.


Go figure.
