New Mexico Plague Alert

New Mexico’s facing a deadly outbreak as the state reports its first human plague case of the year — tragically fatal — prompting urgent health alerts and contact tracing. Plague, spread by rodent fleas and direct animal contact, causes rapid-onset fever, chills, and headaches, with early antibiotics making a critical difference. Health officials urge doctors to report suspected cases immediately, avoid rodents, and maintain flea control for pets. With three human cases and one death last year, and now three dogs diagnosed this year, this isn’t a relic of the past — vigilance and prevention are essential to staying safe.
