People the Fleas are coming. I am a Wildlife Rehabilitator for the state of Texas. Here in Texas we had a mild winter and lots of rain. That equals fleas and ticks. It may a be a really bad years for infestaions. There has been two confirmed cases of Bubonic Plague in momkeys at the Denver Zoo. They feel that the local squirrels infested the monkeys with the virus. Please be extra vigilant with flea prevention and pass the word to others. The WHO has not issued warnings yet but the Denver Zoo made the news week before hand. I thought there would be some warning to the public but since I have not seen anything, I am spreading the word.
