[ link to www.ibtimes.com] The Black Death, a strain of bubonic plague that destroyed nearly a third of Europe's entire population between 1347 and 1369, has been found in Oregon. Health officials in Portland have confirmed that a man contracted the plague after getting bitten by a cat. The unidentified man, who is currently in his 50s, had tried to pry a dead mouse from a stray cat's mouth on June 2 when the cat attacked him. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14185626 mmmmmmmkay so bubonic plague is a treatable bacterial illness. a big deal during times without antibiotics, not *such* a big deal now. a tad interesting, but sorry doomster, no black death doom for you. :(
