Both bubonic plague and leprosy are treatable with antibiotics, but you have to know what you’re dealing with - very promptly, in the case of plague.
The World Health Organization provides free treatment for leprosy world-wide, but many in the kinds of places where leprosy is endemic don’t know about it.
a trapper caught a fox, threw it in back seat of his car- loaned his car to a friend (After removign hte fox) both men came down with bubonic plague-
We also have pneumonic (sp?) plague here in US- hanta virus- which by hte way is not a western only virus— etc-
Man in NY City wiped off some mouse turds from his counter tops- in doing so he stirred up hanta virus- He died- another fella was camping out east somewhere- slept in a lean to that had double walls- mice had moved in between the walls- man died of hanta virus-
Went to a sportsman’s dinner and a guest speaker was a wildlife biologist who traps mice for a living ot test for viruses - He told the crowd he will not handle hte mice without a full hazmat suit on and mask-
If all that aint enough we now are seeing lyme disease, powassan disease etc spreading like wildfire in the US-
So mice carry fleas and ticks that cause plagues and lymes and carry hanta virus- Swell- Just think of all them ice crawling around in your attics, basements, on kitchen counters
Enjoy the great outdoors
