Patty...Actually, the Plague is ever present in the West. We have area closings all the time and State and Federal wildlife people are always trapping and or finding carcasses of dead animals, killed by the plague. There are signs placarded everywhere warning aganst taking animals into certain areas due to flea infestation. A good reason to NOT
take your ferrets camping with you here in the far West!
