## Resource

Rabies cases are on the rise across the U.S., with Kansas seeing a spike in bat-related encounters — and the CDC reports a 17% jump in rabies-related questions from July to August. While no human cases have been confirmed in Kansas this year, at least nine animals tested positive, including a cow and a dog. If you’re exposed, prompt medical attention could save your life — post-exposure treatment is nearly 100% effective if administered quickly. Stay alert, especially around wildlife, and don’t ignore any close calls with bats or other animals. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
