Girl Catches Bubonic Plague From Skwirrell

A seven-year-old girl in Colorado is recovering from BUBONIC PLAGUE, the illness that caused the Black Death and wiped out up to 60% of Europe's population in the 14th century.
Sierra Jane Downing became ill after trying to bury a dead skwirrell while on a camping trip with her family in Colorado.
She developed a 107 F (41.67 C) fever and had a seizure, prompting her frightened father to rush her to a hospital where she was stabilised before being flown to Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.
Dr Jennifer Snow, the paediatrician who treated Sierra, said the child's unusual symptoms were puzzling.
She said: "Well the way it came up, the symptoms, the high fever... the bug bites, the exposure to the dead skwirrell and the swollen lymph nodes, once I started doing some research and I actually found a case report of a teenager whose symptoms fit Sierra's exactly.
“And that was my 'aha' moment - could this be Yersinia or bubonic plague? I immediately called Dr Drummond for a consultation at that time," she said.
Infectious disease specialist Dr Wendi Drummond said they had never treated a patient with bubonic plague, but the symptoms clearly fit the diagnosis and there was no time to waste as Sierra's body collapsed into septic shock.
The doctors quickly administered gentamicin, an antibiotic effective against the plague, but Sierra became sicker before improving.
"Certainly, if you get the appropriate treatment early enough, the mortality rate can be low but there's such a short time frame and a short window of opportunity you have to do that and that was the key," said Dr Snow.
She added: "I did tell the parents that I'm always hopeful that everything is going to turn out for the best but I was trying to prepare them somewhat that she was critically ill and this is a life-threatening condition that she had and we were doing absolutely everything we could to save her life."
The Centre for Disease Control estimates that only a handful of Americans are infected with the bubonic plague - which is carried by small rodents and their fleas - every year.
Since it is critical to treat patients in the early stages of infection, treatment is often not delayed for laboratory confirmation.
Doctors expect Sierra to make a full recovery and said she may be discharged within the week.

Ouch! Is that what happend to you?

be careful red skwirrell...the quarantine hammers coming for you!

 

[RedSkwirrell]

No no.
I was bitten by a radioactive skwirrell after an experiment went wrong on a secret island, off the coast of Scotland.
I now have the special power of eating acorns.
Okay so I pretty much had that one before.
But at least now I have MLP's cutest, bushiest, twitchiest tail.

Sums up Scotland well. A deranged, radioactive squirrel survives an experiment gone wrong, manages to swim to the mainland, takes a look around and thinks "**** this. I'm getting out of here."

Actually I enjoy Scotland and was in your neck of the woods a couple of years ago, albeit on a night-sleeper waiting for a Scotrail connection to Fort William and the Jacobite up to Mallaig from there.
I will never forget it... upon arrival I saw a man wearing a chamois kilt.
Not even tartan.
Now I know what 'sassenach' means.

Well actually, the place is a LOT better now that you've fvucked off out of it!

 

[RedSkwirrell]

Lmao!

Blame the Tory Bastards for that. If my wife is not good enough for them, I'm not good enough for them. I only wish I could get a refund on all the tax I paid over the years. It's only fair.

I do love the place, but could do without the neds.

You Skwizzes is dangerous little critters. When not spreading bubonic plague or chewing through power lines, y'all is to be found causing car wrecks and baiting housebound cats who hiss at you impotently from through the windows as you munch acorns with maddening gusto just a few feet away on the front lawn. My house cat hates you guys...

As innocent as you guys may seem, anybody with a clue quickly realizes that the whole cutie-pie schtick is merely a ruse that conceals a heart so black and treacherous that y'all would be denounced as terrorists by the state department of any decent country whatsoever, if not for the irresistible allure of your twitchy little selves.

But I run from Skwizzes, me. Other critters kill a man outright, yes-- and most of the time the dance of death entails unimaginable pain and savage cruelty, like bein' et by a grizzle bar. However, when it is a Skwizz who is the author of one's untimely demise, not only does one suffer the usual pain and all, but one is also usually treated to a lethal dose of comic irony that is hysterically funny to everybody except that unfortunate victim. See, for a Skwizz, the fact that you is daid ain't of no account unless y'all also managed to insult your victim in his final, agonizing moments-- and even got his friends to laugh about it...

So you Skwizzes ain't foolin' me, none-- no. And stop shakin' that bushy tail at me, I ain't fallin' for your cutesy routine one bit!

Of all the claims to fame I've ever heard, that has to rank amongst the worst!
