Fleas.
During the middle ages, they would keep things lke bear furs handy. It was cutomary to hold it near folks who came to your house, hoping that the fleas the person might have on them would jump into the fur!!
Then it would be shaken outside or washed.

Actually, we have too many squirrels for our own good. We send the squirreliest off to Washington DC, but it isn't enough in some years.

stressed it was unlikely the rare disease would spread. "Bubonic plague is not usually transmissible from person to person," duh - but it does spread by fleas - and these fleas got it from somewhere - at least I'm assuming they didn't just spontaneously develop the plague carrying virus or that they are going to be good fleas and not leave home.

Bubonic plague is not usually transmissible from person to person. Except when it converts to Pneumonic Plague , which spreads quickly and fatally.
Inhaling droplets expelled by the coughing of a plague-infected person or animal (especially house cats) can result in plague of the lungs (plague pneumonia). Transmission of plague pneumonia from person to person is uncommon but sometimes results in dangerous epidemics that can quickly spread.

"Bubonic plague is not usually transmissible from person to person," Jonathan Fielding, head of Los Angeles County public health, said.Wrong! 25 million people didn't die in Europe from fleas.
Fleas spread it from rodents to humans and then humans spread it like wildfire.

Bubonic plague? Isn't that caused by too many 'Rats?Or too many illegals.
Whether they are from Mexico (most likely) or Asia, it is certain to be an illegal.

Nope. It's caused by too many illegal aliens illegally aliening from places with too many rats.

LA's been hit with boob-onic plague for years....
To: Aussie Dasher
Cordon the area off, Residents Que up in single file, Illegals are immediately Quarantined implanted with a chip and then sent to Country of Origin for Treatment without the possibility of ever returning, all others treated, then fumigate the City.
Those that don't Que up Die or are turned in.
Don't ever Elect me for ANY Public Office, I will run it like a Farm or a Ranch, (cull, ship/sell, and propagate)
WIN WIN WIN

By coincidence, tonights episode of "House" showed a girl that was almost surely dead because she caught the plague from her dog's fleas.
I wouldn't want to die that way.
