Man develops BUBONIC PLAGUE from stray cat bite
narrowly escapes death… but will have fingers and toes amputated
A 59-year-old man is out of hospital after spending a month in intensive care due to infection from the bubonic plague.
Paul Gaylord, 59, developed the symptoms after he was bitten by a stray cat his family had adopted.
The cat, named Charlie, had caught a rodent which was stuck in his throat. It is thought that the rat was infected by fleas, which carry the disease.
Black (near) death: Paul Gaylord contracted the plague after being bitten by a cat. After his lymph nodes swelled to the size of lemons he was rushed to hospital
Initially, Mr Gaylord thought he had the flu when he developed a fever after the bite.
After antibiotics failed to make him feel better, he was rushed to hospital when his lymph nodes swelled to the size of lemons.

Just some more fun shit from our 4th and 5th world brothers and sisters…I mean, why wouldn’t we all want to live like that, right?
Reality is the ‘black plague’ started long before now….trust me!!!
And its the exact reason for this countries financial, criminal, educational, societal morality issues…”since we can’t come UP to the level of white and asian folks, lets bring the entire fucking country down to ours”…NO THANKS!!!

The headline should be, “Man contracts Plague from fleas of a rat.” The kind of plague that an infected cat transmits is “pneumonic plague”. That affects the lungs. The fleas most likely hopped off the cat and bit the man. Treating cats with Advantage or other quality flea repellents and flea killers will prevent this. If you see that your pet has fleas, there are new “flea pills” for cats that begin killing fleas 20 minutes after ingesting the pill. They kill eggs and larvae too. That should be followed by a long-acting treatment. If you take in a stray animal, you need to be responsible for the preventative care of that animal. And, if your cat and fleas are biting you, you’re doing things wrong.
