Description
Flea-borne typhus, a bacterial disease once thought to be a relic of the past, is surging in Central and North Texas. The Centers for Disease Control stopped tracking it in 1987 due to rarity, but now Texas leads the nation in cases. Symptoms include fever, chills, headaches, and muscle aches, and while most cases are milder, they can still require hospitalization. To prevent infection, keep yards clean, treat pets for fleas, and seek medical attention if symptoms arise.
