Rabies Alert in Hillsborough County | Tampa News

Rabies alert hits Hillsborough County for 60 days after a stray cat in Gibsonton tests positive — and it’s deadly serious. With near 100% fatality if untreated, officials warn residents to avoid all contact with wild animals, which may act strangely or aggressively. The affected zone is clearly defined by natural and man-made borders. Pets must be vaccinated; humans bitten need immediate medical care. Don’t touch, don’t adopt, don’t risk it — report bites and stay vigilant. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
