Holdaway 2 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 When the Black Death swept europe it killed over 900,00, that was 3/4 of the population at the time, it was carried by the black rat and transmitted by their fleas. Most people actually died of the pneumonic plague, as it became airborne in a similar manner to flu. As for the germ warfare, a lot of countries still hold viruses in vaults even after signing a treaty that they wouldn't, and yes they will say it is for research purposes in case of an outbreak. Truth is if there was a pandemic no government could handle it, I think I read somewhere that America has only 7 vaccines against small pox for the whole country... H Link to post
shotgun..willy 8 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 just spoke to my mate he said that they had blokes there today with the terriers and they got over 100 think im going down sunday to clear up wots left with the gun and teleporter it works a treat if you can get the forks right in the holes it make them bolt a treat Link to post
Guest Scuba1 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) thought it came from the flea of the black rat not sure though You are spot on with that one. The thing is, that the rat is a host to the infection and the fleas are the one that spread it, as it is not an airborne virus and needs to be transferred via the blood, hence the fleas.

Tiff 36 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Bubonic has been affecting prairie dog towns in Colorado and surrounding states for years ... it is possible to get it "naturaly" without having to be in a lab or a victim of a germ warefare type of assault Edited January 19, 2009 by His Wife Link to post

Tiff 36 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Monkey dead from Plague in Colorado http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idU...=RSS&rpc=22 from http://rarediseases.about.com/cs/bubonicplague/a/111602.htm Does it still occur in the world? According to the World Health Organization, there are 1,000 to 3,000 cases of bubonic plague worldwide each year. There are no known cases in Australia or Europe. Areas where cases occur are in Russia, the Middle East, China, Southwest and Southeast Asia, Madagascar, southern and eastern Africa, the Andes mountains and Brazil. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that there are 10 to 15 cases of bubonic plague in the United States each year. These cases tend to occur in two regions: northern New Mexico, northern Arizona and southern Colorado; California, southern Oregon and far western Nevada. Link to post

The thing is, that the rat is a host to the infection and the fleas are the one that spread it, as it is not an airborne virus and needs to be transferred via the blood, hence the fleas. ATB Michael Bubonic plague is was/is spread by rat fleas. The fleas are infected with the disease and pass it onto humans or animals through the bite. Pneumonic Plague is an advanced form of the bubonic plague. When the bacteria spreads to the lungs the disease can be spread from person to person. It occurs via the inhalation of the airborne bacteria (coughs and sneezes spread diseases). It can also be contracted by handling infected animal carcasses. This is how the Black Death was able to pass so quickly through Europe. The good news is that it's curable but requires antibiotics within 24 hours. The bad news is that there wouldn't be enough antibiotics, in Britain, to deal with a major outbreak. It requires immediate treatment to have even a decent chance of cure. It's easy to sound a like a paranoid nut job but if you look at the sheer volume of rats, in Britain's cities, you could see how quickly the disease could cripple the country. With local authorities cutting back on pest control, and hospitals wasting money on consultants instead of frontline staff, I reckon it's not far fetched to see a case of rodent borne plague in the future. With Britain's rat numbers on the increase it's a case of when rather than if. Link to post

sidebyside 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 There where three different forms of the plague during the in the "Black Death" in the 14th & 17th Century's, Bubonic plague, septicemic plague, and pneumonic plague. Septicaemic plague is when one of the others gets into the blood stream or from a bite from an infected rodent. The last out break in England is thought to be in December 1909 in Thorpe Lane, Trimley Norfolk. Link to post
