The plague is known to be consistently present in rodent populations throughout Mongolia, but because the transmission rate to humans is so low, we rarely hear about it. So next time you’re vacationing in the steppes of Mongolia make sure you cook your marmot throughly.
Yep, prairie dog colonies in the American Southwest often have it, too. My grandma used to warn us not to get too close to them...
I did not know this ! Makes me wonder if ours it too? Such sweet-looking diseased-ridden creatures they are. 🙃
