Yes I read that book before Neal.

But wow at the story.

If I remember this right, most people in Europe alive today carry the gene that makes them immune to the plague since the vast majority of those without it died off. Would appreaciate any information on this if anyone has any, since im not too sure aobut it.

But a plague?! Yikes!

No way! My uncle died from the plauge,and he was from AZ!

He had been rabbit hunting and somehow had an open wound and got some of the rabbit's blood in it(cross contamination). The rabbit was carring it. I guess the plauge is common in rodents

. Anyway, my uncle became REALLY sick, and the doctor mis-diognosed it. (You never see the plauge, it's just not something you're looking for) He was gone the next day. This happened maybe 20+ years ago.

Revelation 6

[8] And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

This as was stated in Neals link is common in the western states especially alot on the Navajo reservation and it is because it is carried in the dust....from rodent crap...and many Navajo's still have traditional hogans they live in or have cerimonies in.
