One disease expert said it's worse than third world country slums
Mountains of rat-infested uncollected garbage are piling up in Los Angeles and experts are afraid that they may spur on an epidemic of disease that could have been prevented.
The trash has been abandoned by the city and attracts rats which can carry fleas that spread diseases like Typhus.
Celebrity Doctor Drew Pinksy predicted in 2018 that Los Angeles was headed towards a typhus epidemic and even a plague. He added that there would likely be a panic with officials killing wild animals too
One study found that Los Angeles is the second most rat-infested city in the country, with New York lagging behind in third place, but Chicago coming out on top with a first place finish.
