Dogs and cats can carry fleas that spread bubonic plague! The use of consistent flea preventatives can help to prevent this.

A person has tested positive for plague after possibly being bitten by an infected flea while camping in the South Lake Tahoe area of California, public health officials say.

El Dorado County's Public Health Division announced the positive plague case on Tuesday, its first human case since 2020. The disease, which is naturally present in parts of California, is typically spread by fleas that have fed on infected wild rodents, health officials said. Pets, particularly cats and dogs, can carry infected fleas into the home.

While the infected individual is recovering at home and human plague cases are extremely rare, they can be serious.
