A South Lake Tahoe resident has been tested positive for plague, probably after a flea bite while camping. This first human case in El Dorado County since 2020 has raised public concern. Health officials urge precautions such as avoiding contact with wild rodents, using flea control on pets, wearing protective clothing, and getting immediate medical care for symptoms if they appear.
