An Oregon teen has been diagnosed with a rare case of Bubonic plague after a hunting trip, and health officials believe she was infected by a flea bite.
The 16-year-old girl fell ill five days after the trip in Murrow County, and was hospitalized three days later, Fox affiliate KPTV reports.
The unidentified girl is recovering in an intensive care unit, and her condition is unknown.
The Bubonic plague is treatable with antibiotics if caught early, but can be fatal if left untreated. Symptoms include high fever, lethargy and swollen lymph nodes.
There have been 16 cases of plague this year in the US, and four people have died.
