Public health advisories have been posted near the intersection of Slater Avenue and Magnolia Street in Fountain Valley after a case of flea-borne typhus was detected in the area.
Orange County's fifth human case of flea-borne typhus has been reported in Fountain Valley.
"It's spread by the actual flea dirt or the excrement of the fleas, so when you scratch yourself, that dirt gets into your bloodstream." Another case was found in Anaheim in July and a fourth case was reported in Garden Grove earlier this month. While typhus cannot spread person-to-person, officials warn pets can carry fleas that carry the disease.
