An unidentified woman came down last week with symptoms of the disease, known as the Black Death, when it devastatingly swept across Europe in the 14th century. Health officials said they believed the infected woman, who remains in hospital, was exposed to fleas in the area around her house and stressed it was unlikely the rare disease would spread. 100 to one odds she is an illegal.

A consequence of illegal immigration, I wonder?

Was she messing around with rodents, or something?

Can never have too many rats if it's sage rats you're hunting.
I got the vaccination for plague. I've kept my shot cards just to keep track of all the weird things I was vaccinated for.
I have a vaccination with the seal of Thailand. I was third mate on a ship that was required for everyone on the ship to be vaccinated. I was told to gather the crew for the shots. I looked at the 10 new needles on the table and asked for my vaccination first. We were a crew of 43.

the infected woman, who remains in hospital, was exposed to fleas in the area around her house and stressed it was unlikely the rare disease would spread. So ... they're saying ... they killed every single last Bubonic-plague-laced flea before it jumped away?

A single case, but if you only read the headline you'd think it's an epidemic.

Not too surprising. Both Los Angeles and Albuquerque have large rodent populations in their surroundings. Plague is endemic in the wild rodent population. That's why New Mexico's slogan is:
Land of the Flea, Home of the Plague.

Bubonic plague hits LA Jonathan Fielding, head of Los Angeles County public health, said.
Mr Fielding explained the disease is not uncommon among animals such as squirrels but seldom spreads to humans.
Except when the fleas arrive by "coyote" !
