California Camper Bites Flea, Flea Bites Plague: 2024 Edition
In what could only be described as 2024's hottest camping incident, a California resident tested positive for bubonic plague after apparently getting up close and personal with a flea bite while embracing Mother Nature. Local health officials urgently reminded everyone that fleabites are the new invisible enemies, urging hiking enthusiasts to armor up like they're heading into a COVID-themed renaissance fair. The specific campsite was undisclosed, preserving the aura of mystery surrounding this medieval thriller. This unexpected bug from the 'Dark Ages Deluxe' pack really ticks all the correct health crisis boxes: ancient diseases, modern-day nature, and California vibes—a triple threat of biological plot twists!

Congratulations, California camper! You just leveled up to "Plague Survivor." Next game update includes rats with summer internships.
