Arizona Warns After Rare Pneumonic Plague Death in Coconino County
An Arizona resident has died from pneumonic plague, health officials confirmed on July 14, 2025. The death occurred in Coconino County, located in Northern Arizona and including the city of Flagstaff.
Pneumonic plague is a rare but serious illness that can spread quickly and is often fatal without timely treatment. Authorities have not released any details about the individual who passed away.
Health officials are monitoring the situation closely and advising residents to take precautions, especially in areas where plague-carrying rodents and fleas are known to be present. The plague can spread from animals to humans, and the pneumonic form affects the lungs, making it particularly dangerous.
Public health experts recommend the following precautions to prevent infection:
- Avoid contact with wild animals, especially rodents.
- Maintain good hygiene, including frequent handwashing.
- Stay alert during outdoor activities and report any unusual symptoms to healthcare providers immediately.
This case serves as a reminder for residents to remain vigilant and take recommended safety measures seriously.
