"We've got raccoon rabies from southern Ontario, Canada, all the way to southern Florida, and from the Great Lakes to the East Coast. In all, 20 states are involved," says Dr. Charles Rupprecht, a researcher from the CDC's National Center for Infectious Diseases.
Not really a conspiracy, but this is a very good article. Watch for those little critters next time you are walking through the woods out here in the east. Since it happened once it can happen again.
Thanks for the article.
In the area I grew up there were raccoons everywhere, and they weren't at all timid. My folks always warned us about them, and the fact that they carried rabies.
I had to have rabies shots when I was 6. Me and my brothers found a dead fox in the forest, and she didn't believe that we didn't touch it, so she got us all the shots. Man, that was painful.
