SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – A man from Rio Arriba County has died of septicemic plague, according to the New Mexico Department of Health. NMDOH says this is the first human plague death in New Mexico this year and the second human plague case overall. NMDOH also says this is the first human plague-related death in New Mexico since 2015 and there was a single human plague case in 2019 in a 72-year-old man from Torrance County with no human plague cases in 2018.
“Plague activity in New Mexico is usually highest during the summer months, so it is especially important now to take precautions to avoid rodents and their fleas which can expose you to plague,” said Department of Health Secretary Kathy Kunkel in a press release Friday.
