A veteran Los Angeles City Hall
official is one of the latest victims of an epidemic of the infectious
disease typhus that continues to worsen across LA County.
For months, LA County public health officials have said typhus is mainly hitting the homeless population.
But
Deputy City Attorney Liz Greenwood, a veteran prosecutor, tells NBC4
she was diagnosed with typhus in November, after experiencing high
fevers and excruciating headaches.
"It
felt like somebody was driving railroad stakes through my eyes and out
the back of my neck," Greenwood told the I-Team. "Who gets typhus? It's a
medieval disease that's caused by trash."
