Then you should be aware that fleas have tested positive for the plague in Arizona:
http://www.wtsp.com/story/news/health/2014/09/26/flagstaff-fleas-test-positive-plague/16258263/Flagstaff, Ariz. (AZ Central) -- When a number of fleas infected with the plague was found in northern Flagstaff, it warranted some concern.
The disease is the same one that wiped out an estimated 60 percent of Europe's population in the last millennium and barely left enough people alive to bury the dead. But scientists and public-health officials say modern amenities and advances have left the bug that carries the plague a minor threat to most Americans.
