I knew I wasn't focussing on work this morning, when I saw this headline in a trade journal: "Third Cat Tests Positive for Bubonic Plague in Wyoming", and thought, the USADA are very thorough.

    Don't know about USADA, but it does look indeed as though the French Federation are this thorough:

    This is not a joke. Bubonic Plague comes from the third world countries. While we do treat it these days with antibiotics there is always the scary chance that this bacterial infection could develop an immunity to all of our present antibiotics. There are no vacines against it and while we don't have many deaths from it since the middle ages it has been used as a bacteriological warfare agent by the Japanese during WW II I think.
