Rabies Alert in Vermont

Vermont’s health department warns of a rising rabies threat with over 25 confirmed cases — and it’s not just dogs and cats. Bats and raccoons are major carriers, especially as warmer weather drives wildlife indoors. If you spot a bat in your room, don’t touch it — leave the room, close the door, and call the rabies hotline. Avoid all wild animals, don’t feed them, and never try to domesticate them. Keep your pets vaccinated — it’s the best defense. Stay safe, stay informed, and act fast if you encounter wildlife. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
