On Thursday, the department announced that officials are investigating an outbreak of flea-borne typhus in downtown Los Angeles, and they are working with the city to implement environmental safety measures to help reduce the spread of the disease.

Between July and September, the county identified nine cases of flea-borne typhus associated with downtown Los Angeles, and six of those cases were in people experiencing homelessness, according to the county.

"Although typhus normally occurs throughout LA County, we are observing several cases in the downtown Los Angeles area," Dr. Muntu Davis, the county's health officer, said in Thursday's announcement.

"We encourage pet owners to practice safe flea control and encourage all cities in the county to ensure maintenance of their trash clean-up and rodent control activities," he said.

On Friday, one city in the county -- Pasadena -- reported epidemic levels of typhus fever. This year, 20 Pasadena residents have been confirmed to have typhus fever, up from the expected one to five cases per year, according to the Pasadena Public Health Department.

You cannot live with the kind of filth associated with homelessness and not expect some consequences. Herewith another fruit of Liberalism.

LONG BEACH (CBSLA) – The typhus outbreak in Southern California has spread to a third city, and pet owners there have been surprised to hear of the uptick in the flea-borne disease.

At Uptown Dog Park in Long Beach, dog owners were shocked to hear about the outbreak in their area.
“Sounds crazy. I’ve never heard of it,” Isael Torres said.

Long Beach has joined other major cities that have seen an increase of typhus cases this year.

Health officials said there have been nine cases in Downtown Los Angeles, 12 in Long Beach, 20 in Pasadena and 59 in Los Angeles County.

I grew up in Long Beach. Years ago it was known as a city which would not tolerate bums and hobos. Today, as I hear from relatives still there, there are homeless encampments everywhere.

Widespread typhus in the United States in 2018. Unbelievable.
