Couple dies of bubonic plague after eating raw marmot meat in Mongolia

A Mongolian couple has died of the bubonic plague after eating raw marmot kidney, triggering a quarantine that left tourists stranded in a remote region for days, officials said Monday. The ethnic Kazakh couple died on May 1 in Nogoonnuur soum, in Mongolia's westernmost province of Bayan-Ulgii, which borders Russia and China.

A six-day quarantine was declared for people in the region, preventing nine tourists from Russia, Germany and Switzerland from leaving.

The quarantine was lifted on May 6 after no other cases of the plague were reported. Authorities have warned people against eating raw marmot meat because it can carry Yersinia pestis, the plague germ. At least one person dies of the plague every year in Mongolia, mostly due to consuming such meat, according to the National Center for Zoonotic Disease. Some people ignore the warnings as they believe that consuming the innards of the large rodent is good for their health.

No.
My hatred for marmots doesn’t extend to eating them in vengeance.
Least of all improperly prepared
