Navajo County Assistant Manager Bryan Layton said Friday that a man over the age of 55 was being treated for the disease amid an investigation into how it was contracted.
The Navajo County Health Department encouraged people to avoid rodent burrows and keep dogs on a leash.
Human symptoms of plague usually appear within two to six days of contact and include fever, chills, headaches and often a swelling of lymph nodes under the armpit.

Democrats immediately demanded an outdoor hiking ban on Arizonans, to avoid infecting rodents with COVID-19.
That’s it. No one can leave their house until we 100% eradicate plague from all rodent source pools on every continent.
Happens every year out west
What has The Plague ever done to us?
Plague has always been around in limited form.
Fresh from Mexico ?
Hanta virus?
.
The Plague is not what it once was. It can’t run amuck like the old days. Antibiotics will heal anyone with the plague if received on time. The plague is very dangerous. But its also, all over the place in squirrels, prairie dogs and other little critters. So news media stories like this one get written to scare people. But they shouldn’t plague has always been around us. Its just not nearly as deadly as it was.
Nope. Been here over 100 years. From Chinese trading ships. Spread out from San Francisco and New Orleans.
Different thing entirely.
This is what’s next. No wonder the CDC did the back off on CV19 yesterday.
New Mexico - “Land of the flea and home of the plague.”
Average is about 7 cases a year in the US. New Mexico usually has 3-4 of them, mainly prairie dogs, squirrel carcasses.
Sounds like the flu.
Somebody better put masks on all of the rodents. Either that or tell them to stay in their burrows for at least two weeks.
I gotta step up
My Game,
Good one!
Hanta Virus is just that, a virus found in droppings and urine from deer mice. It’s a lot more deadly, by a long shot, than Covid-19. Twenty five years ago mortality was about 80 percent and because it was first identified on the Navajo Indian Reservation it was called the Navajo flu. but now it’s down to 35-36 percent. As it affects the lungs in the same way as Covid-19 I suspect that future treatment will be similar to that of severely ill covid-19 patients.
The plague is a bacterial infection and can be treated with antibiotics. It is carried by fleas on rodents, jumps to cats and dogs who dig in the burrows and then to humans from their household pets. One sign of the problem is the sudden disappearance of prairie dog colonies - numerous individuals one week and gone the next, usually from plague. Dogs and cats need flea protection (powder or oral medication) to keep from transmitting fleas to humans.
