California health officials are reporting a typhus outbreak has reached “epidemic levels” in the city of Pasadena, California. The official source of the outbreak is said to be fleas from domestic and wild animals.

“Infection happens when the feces from infected fleas are rubbed into cuts or scrapes in the skin or rubbed into the eyes,” the county health department states on its website.

Typhus or typhus fever is a flea-borne infectious disease that can cause high fever, headache, chills, and body aches, rashes and in rare cases, meningitis and death.

Some others are saying the culprit is the inhumane conditions the county’s expanding homeless population lives in. But officials in Pasadena  say the disease has nothing to do with homelessness in their high-income city.

The health officials in Pasadena are blaming the outbreak on a warm summer and fall, and human interaction with animals in neighborhoods that have an “interface” with wildlife in canyons and the Angeles National Forest.

Pestilent disease that can bring death is foretold in the Biblical prophecies as Matthew 24 as a sign of the Last Days. Also, deathly pestilence is connected to beasts or meaning animals in the prophecy of Revelation 6.

There it foretells the pale horse of the horseman of death who had power over the earth to kill, and one way he did so was by the beasts of the earth. A known method of infection and transfer of pestilence is through human contact with animals.
