Apparently, bubonic plague has been found in some ground squirrels in the Angeles National Forest. See http://www.mt-whitney.info/viewtopic.php?t=2005. I don't know that this would affect the San Jacinto Mountains at all, but it's something to be aware of. There's a link to an article that describes the symptoms. Apparently plague, in any form, can be fatal. (that would be bad)
