Note to self:

Don't research plague before bedtime.

Especially when you know their impact. Mortality rates of bubonic plague is estimated at 30-75%, pneumatic at 80% or higher, and septicaemic nearly 100% and no, you can't make me go back to Wikipedia and check my figures.

And it's not like smallpox. There's an animal carrier that we can't exactly eradicate :(

I was more worried about mice with their perpetual urination but as the book arrived from the US there could be all sorts of other possibilities* I'd rather not know about, UGH!

Silverfish? ARGH!

* Not because the US is plague-ridden but because I personally am not familiar with their pests and diseases, obv.
