Health safety is a big factor when traveling, even if it doesn’t always come up in conversation. While people may assume that they are always safe when abroad, that may not always be the case. Going to unfamiliar places sometimes means encountering unfamiliar illnesses or health risks. This is something to be conscious of, especially since illnesses can have scary symptoms, have variants, and resurge. One example is the recently confirmed case of a sickness from the early Renaissance era in the United States, the bubonic plague.

Oropouche virus (OROV) causes Oropouche fever (OROF); the first case was identified in a forest worker in Trinidad and Tobago in 1955. Since then, it has caused at least half a million infections in South America, although that number is likely a low estimate, according to a 2022 study in npj vaccines. That study highlighted the lack of vaccines; while several vaccine candidates have been evaluated in recent years, they were found to be ineffective against OROV. The report also emphasized the need for rapid diagnostic tests for this virus; diagnosis is usually based on an evaluation of symptoms.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
