Rabies Exposure from Mobile Petting Zoo | Charlotte News

Over 200 people across North Carolina may have been exposed to rabies after a mobile petting zoo called Farm Adventures had baby goats that tested positive — the outbreak linked to a fox intrusion between July 28 and August 23. Health officials are urging those at risk to get post-exposure shots, which are widely available; four infected goats were euthanized. Though livestock transmission is rarer than from wild animals, authorities are treating this as a serious public health concern, with more than 320 people already started on treatment since late August.
