The Crucial Steps to Prevent Rabies Transmission
· Texas Border Business
Rabies is primarily found in wild animals such as bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes in the U.S. It can be transmitted to humans and pets through bites or scratches from infected animals. The CDC emphasizes the importance of keeping pets vaccinated and avoiding contact with wildlife. Bats are the leading cause of rabies deaths in the U.S., with symptoms often leading to fatality if untreated. Individuals who suspect exposure should wash wounds immediately and consult healthcare professionals. Each year, over 100,000 people are potentially exposed, but fewer than 10 die due to effective prevention measures.
