When you say it's easy to get from prairie dogs, how exactly does that happen? Is it like, you're camping, and a prairie dog gets into your tent? How exactly does that people get exposed to a prairie dog?
- 317070 1y agoIt's not the prairie dogs themselves, but the fleas on the dogs. The carriers for the plague are fleas.
- MangoToupe 1y agoYes, but every case I've heard of involved direct contact with the prairie dog. I can't imagine the fleas are that mobile without them.
- kulahan 1y agoIt’s pretty easy to get close to prairie dogs over time. They will eventually learn you’re not a threat, and tell the others. So you’re going on a walk one day, they seem friendly, people like handling cute animals… bada big bada boom
- dreamcompiler 1y agoIt's usually people whose job (or I guess hobby) involves managing prairie dogs. It's not usually ordinary civilians.
