A recent case of the plague in South Lake Tahoe has local residents on alert. Health officials say the infection likely came from a flea bite during a camping trip—reminding us that this ancient disease still pops up in California’s outdoors. While the word 'plague' sounds terrifying, it’s rare and treatable with antibiotics today. Still, it’s a good reminder to take precautions when hiking or camping, especially in areas with wild rodents. How do you feel about these risks in our own backyard? Do you take extra steps to protect yourself and your pets outdoors? #Health #BodyHealth #California
