## Resource

Rabies cases are on the rise across the U.S., with Kansas seeing a spike in animal encounters—especially bats—and the CDC reporting a 17% jump in rabies-related questions and treatments. While no human cases have been confirmed in Kansas this year, nine animal cases—including a cow and dog—highlight the real danger. Rabies is nearly always fatal without prompt treatment, so if you’ve had contact with wildlife, get checked out immediately.
