Dead squirrel in San Luis Obispo County tests positive for plague

MORRO BAY, Calif. Health officials in San Luis Obispo County say people heading outdoors should stay away from rodents, after a dead squirrel found in Morro Bay tested positive for plague.

Dr. Gregory Thomas, with the county's health department, says visitors to campgrounds, parks and other wilderness areas should remain cautious.
The plague is transmitted to rodents by fleas.
Thomas says that since 1970 there have been 39 confirmed cases of plague in people in California.
If contracted by humans, the disease can be deadly.
