Beware of the Plague

Image result for bubonic plague
You would wonder that the times of the bubonic plague are long gone, but Billy Perrigo of TIME news has confirmed that it's not. In the state of Idaho, “a boy...has contracted the first case of bubonic plague the state has seen for 26 years”. The exact source of the disease is yet to be found but it was noted that there were squirrels back in 2015 and 2016 who “tested positive for carrying the disease”. The symptoms of the bubonic plague include “swollen lymph nodes, headaches, fever, and vomiting”. The boy is in stable condition, but be careful if you are traveling to such states.
