## Resource

Rabies cases are surging across the U.S., with a shocking North Carolina outbreak exposing nearly 300 people to baby goats at a petting zoo. The CDC warns that while rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, it’s 100% preventable with post-exposure prophylaxis—vaccines administered within hours or days of exposure. Treatment costs up to $14,000 per person, so accurate risk assessment is critical. If you’re exposed—whether by bite, scratch, or saliva from a wild animal or acting pet—wash the wound immediately and contact health authorities. Bats lead in human deaths, but raccoons, skunks, and foxes also spread the virus. Keep pets vaccinated and stay away from wildlife to avoid this deadly disease.
