BUBONIC PLAGUE : THIS ONCE INFAMOUS DISEASE IS NOW COMPLETELY CURABLE

Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, while the whole world is struggling to come up with an effective vaccine to curb the spread of the disease, it is indeed alarming to hear about the resurgence of another infamous disease – Bubonic plague. Bubonic plague is caused by the Bacteria Yersinia Pestis. It can spread through contact with infected fleas or via animals like Rodents, Squirrels or hares. It can be passed to humans through animal bites, scratches or stings. The new case which was confirmed on July 5, was found in a herdsman living in the Northern city of Bayannur, in China. Local health authorities immediately issued a third-level alert, advising people to avoid hunting, eating or transporting animals that may potentially carry the disease. But fortunately, unlike Covid-19, in this case, there is some good news in the store. We have clear treatment for Bubonic plague and the disease is quite rare with a few cases every year found in the United States. Thus there is nearly no chance of this breaking into a pandemic, like the one in the 14th century.
