Rabies Fox Alert on Staten Island | New York City News

A fox bite on Staten Island has sparked a rabies alert at Mount Loretto Unique Area — officials are hunting for the animal and urging visitors to avoid feeding or touching wildlife. This follows a recent rabid coyote incident in Westchester, reminding locals that foxes, raccoons, and bats can carry the virus. If you spot a fox acting strangely, report it immediately. And if bitten — wash the wound and see a doctor right away. The advisory stays in effect through Monday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
