Rabies Spike in NY Wild Animals | Albany News

Rabies is on the rise in Washington County — three new cases confirmed, including raccoons and a bat. Stay alert: wild animals acting strangely, like being overly friendly or aggressive, could be infected. Keep pets vaccinated, avoid contact with wildlife, and report any suspicious animals to authorities. If bitten or scratched, wash the wound immediately and seek medical help. If a bat enters your home — especially near kids or sleeping people — call public health before letting it go. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
