## Resource

Rabies cases are surging, with a 17% spike in CDC-related inquiries this summer — including a major outbreak in North Carolina where nearly 300 people were exposed to rabid baby goats at a traveling petting zoo. Health officials rushed to treat over 200 with preventative shots. As vaccine use jumps 33% and immunoglobulin use soars 76%, experts warn: act fast if exposed — wash wounds immediately and seek care. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but it’s 100% preventable before that point. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
