Hopefully some prehistoric flea species indigenous to Central America that we can't kill that hitched in aboard an illegal, and she's stuck with it, and its many fast hatching eggs.

There's nothing medieval about typhus. Until the name was developed (c. 1760), typhus was called gaol or jail fever. It was associated with wars and prisoner of war camps. In the late 1750s, British medical authorities estimated that 25% of all prisoners died from typhus per year. It is believed that most of Napoleon's army was decimated by typhus during the retreat from Moscow. Napoleon's rearguard, quartered in the city of Vilnius, was wiped out by typhus. British observers and Russian officers reported in December 1812 that skeletal bodies were stacked 30 feet high and rattled in the wind. They were also found stuffed closets, rooms, you name it.

Typhus is incredibly virulent. Lice and fleas are common carriers but flys, which do not bite humans, can infect food supplies and spread the disease. Survivors of the disease can still be carriers if not isolated. To make matters worse if not properly diagnosed and treated within about 2 weeks 50 to 70% of typhus victims will die. Often accompanied by dysentery, the victims appear as if starved.

During WW I in Poland and Russia 5 to 10 million people are estimated to have contracted typhus (Not to be confused with typhoid). The death toll from this outbreak is believed to be about 3 million. It almost derailed the Bolshevik revolution.

Between the wars trains entering Germany from Poland were routinely fumigated in special train barns where hydrocyanic acid vapors were circulated throughout the train. This was done in order to kill the larvae of the insects as well as any insects themselves.

In WW II the commercial product Zyklon B was used to fumigate clothing, hair, shoes etc. The United States possessed DDT, a secret weapon which was very effective in controlling the spread of the disease.

The research on this disease and its history is fascinating.

Woman Sues California After She Catches A Medieval Disease

You can’t make this stuff up. California used to be known for its beautiful beaches and the movie stars in Hollywood, but now here we are again talking about disease and filth. Former Deputy City Atty. Elizabeth Greenwood called in OSHA after she found herself stricken with Typhus, a disease that can be spread by flea-ridden rats. She is suing for 5 million dollars claiming the city is endangering the public by not doing something about the rats, trash, filth, or homeless.

“Deputy City Atty. Elizabeth Greenwood said in her claim that Garcetti, City Atty. Mike Feuer and the City Council allowed garbage and human feces to accumulate on the streets outside City Hall East, “recklessly endangering the public” by allowing rats and fleas to thrive.

Greenwood worked at City Hall East until October, when she went out on sick leave. She was diagnosed in November with typhus, a flea-borne illness that can spread when fleas bite rats and later pass the bacteria on to humans. Its symptoms include a rash, fever and fatigue.

The San Pedro resident said she has faced retaliation from her bosses for contacting the news media and Cal/OSHA, a state agency that monitors workplace safety, about the dangers posted by rats, fleas and typhus. She also contends that L.A. officials failed in their obligation to ensure that sidewalks in the Civic Center, many of them occupied by homeless residents, are safe and sanitary.”

“The people that live and do business in the city of Los Angeles expect the city of Los Angeles to not casually allow them to catch a medieval disease as they walk into City Hall,” Greenwood says.

“It’s a crisis that puts the general public at risk and the city attorney’s response to me was “well, golly, how do we know you’re really sick?’” Greenwood says. “Made me feel horrible.”

“A spokesperson sent a statement saying they are complying with state regulations.

“We are appealing OSHA’s tentative citation of our office because the citation addresses conditions on the exterior grounds of City Hall East, our office clearly has no role in maintaining the building’s exterior grounds.”

Apparently, this is all Texas’s fault…The Governor and it seems any real leadership in the area refuse to accept any blame. Good on her she should sue them. More Californians should be demanding their leaders do something. This is just pathetic.

Good for her. I think all smart residents of California must sue the state, the cities, and the democrat elected officials managing their place. Their filth and communicable diseases are ruining the lives of the people. Those filthy democrat elected to their positions must all pay for their crimes. Remove all of the democrats, replace with republicans, and clean up the whole state. Disinfect, the whole state and all the cities polluted with all filth and diseases. This is a environmental crisis and will scatter all over the country. It is very shameful. Democrats have no shame. They all stink.

Sanders said he needs $16.3 trillion to clean EPA. Well democrats, you'll corrupt the $16.3 trillion, nothing will happen until you clean up your filthy corrupt and fraudulent brains.

Those 20 candidates shouting at the podium of climate change are all dumb. They are the pollutions to the United States. Democrats are filthy as proven by the state they manage. US will have a nationwide communicable diseases if you elect another democrat. Facts have proven. They all stink and are corrupt.
