State officials say no cause for alarm over plague rise
Epidemiologist Dr Jonathan Mann says New Mexico faces a higher plague count this year but remains not a major public health concern. Twenty four cases, most treatable bubos, and several precautions highlight the trend alongside other diseases like TB and syphilis. Households should flea-dust pets, avoid sick wildlife, and maintain trash control to curb spread.
