Cats then spread it to humans through biting or scratching. Anyone of any age can contract this disease.

Keep cats indoors to help reduce the risk of flea bites. Do not pick up or pet stray cats. Get flea prevention medicine from the vet.

Treatment is most often symptom management. If you have a compromised immune system or the infection persists you can get prescribed an antibiotic called azithromycin. If you have a very swollen and painful lymph node you can go to the doctor to get it drained.
