Rabies Awareness Day set
Governor Jim Hunt is declar-
ing April 15 as Rabies
Awareness Day in North
Carolina.
Rabies is a deadly viral dis-
ease that affects animals and
people. Rabies is spread most
commonly by skunks, raccoons,
foxes and bats. Over 1000 cases
of rabies have been reported
over the last three years in
North Carolina alone. This dis-
ease is spread by saliva from an
infected animal and attacks the
brain and central nervous sys-
tem of the animal or person.
Almost all animals infected by
the rabies virus ultimately die.
While the virus is of major
concern in dogs, cats, and
wildlife, rabies can also infect
people. If a person is bitten by a
rabid animal and does not seek
treatment, the result is most
likely death. A bite wound from
an animal should be scrubbed
vigorously, reported to Animal
Control to capture the animal
for rabies testing, and the per-
A
son should seek medical atten-
tion. If the animal is found to be
rabid, the person bitten will
have to undergo a series of in-
jections to avoid disease.
The public should be aware
to never approach a raccoon,
skunk, fox or bat exhibiting un-
usual behavior. For example,
raccoons are active usually at
night and tend to shy away
from people. If a raccoon is
spotted in daylight and seems
overly friendly or aggressive,
the animal should be reported
to animal control for possible
capture.
In North Carolina, if a pet
does not have a current rabies
shot and is exposed to a rabid
animal, the pet must be eutha-
nized or quarantined for six
months at the owners expense.
State law requires that all dogs
and cats over four months of
age receive rabies shots. To
avoid losing a pet that may
have been exposed to rabies,
the public is urged to have their
pets vaccinated. Contact either
your local veterinarian or ani-
mal control office to find out
where these shots will be given
and/or to get more information
about rabies.
In Cleveland County there
have been 34 cases of rabies
since June, 1998.
“We've had a variety of ani-
mals with rabies come into con-
tact with pets and people,” said
Linda Belk of the Cleveland
County Animal Control.
In 1998 in Cleveland County,
there was one fox, one raccoon,
and two skunks reported with
rabies. Last year saw 11 rac-
coon, nine skunks, one fox, and
one coyote reported in he coun-
ty with rabies. So far in 2000,
there has been one horse, four
raccoon, and three skunks re-
ported.
“Several people who came in-
to contact with these animals
had to be treated with vaccine,”
Belk said.
