    There are places along the highway in northern California that have signs warning you not to walk into the forest because you could get the plague.

      I camped at a spot on a road trip by the border of Arizona and California and all around the campsite it warned of squirrels with plague, we felt uneasy all night

        It’s not even the squirrels you need to worry about directly, it’s any fleas or biting bugs (can ticks carry it?) that have recently bitten one of those squirrels.
