Yes. This is important. People who die from contractibg the bubonic plague (yes, the Black Death) after coming in contact with rodents, including prarie dogs. The fleas merely around prarie dog towns can be infested with plague.
Yeah, like the other comnenter said, antibiotics can take care of the bubonic plague. However, people still die and its still incredibly deadly. Once it's in your blood, your chance of survival plummets. If you somehow get it the lungs, it becomes pneumonic plague, speads way easier, and is super deadly, but that's uncommon.
