## Resource

A dog in Acadiana, Louisiana, has tested positive for rabies — the first case in the state in over a decade. With only five dog cases in Louisiana over the past 20 years, this outbreak comes as rabies cases rise nationwide, prompting a CDC health alert. The virus, usually spread by wildlife like bats and skunks, is nearly always fatal in humans once symptoms appear — but it’s 100% preventable with prompt treatment after exposure. Experts urge pet owners to vaccinate their animals and seek immediate medical care after any potential exposure.
