I think you and Leia could have been lucky bunnies - but of course the flea has to bite an infected rat first to be a bubonic carrier. |
Eeek!!! Interesting link, thanks! Aside from being quite dead, that rat looked healthy!
There
is a small reservoir of bubonic plague in the southwestern States in ground squirrels and other small rodents; never heard of it here on the East coast.....
Anyhow, I'm pleased to have gotten rid of the few fleas Leia had without having to use chemicals....
