The bubonic plague has an antibiotic now, but the side effects are awful, we also know how to control the fleas which carry it, and it is tough to spread in decent sanitation levels. But bubonic plague is at the same class as a disease as Ebola is: class 4. Plague is still dangerous even with the antibiotic.

Thank you for that information. I guess you can have a spotless house and still get fleas from pets but there are easier and effective cures now. The last time I had a problem with them, usually hot humid summer, I used Advantage on the cat. He wasn't stupid enough to walk through areas that were infested like they are supposed to.

So I used my rose and flower spray which contains imidicloprid. It took two applications but that did the trick. Luckily I got on it before they multiplied like they used to.

As far as I am concerned, fleas are a plague.
