Rabies are on the increa se in
Huron County and already this
year a record number of people,. ,
have hid to receive rabies shots.
For the first four months of the
year, there have been 15 cases of
rabies diagnosed in animals:-Teti'
people whp have come in contact
with these animals . are under.
(going treatment,, a series of 14
shots in ,the abdomen.
The incidents are unusual.'Five
cattle have come in contact with
the rabies virus, !tine fOxes and
one horse, Seven • of the ten •
people involved--with the cases
came in contact with the horse.
Rabies is a virus that must get
into the blood stream in order to
take effect. Any open wound or
cut when exposed to saliva. from• a
rabid animal can becom infected
and the virus can take from days
to months before symptoms
appear.
The Huron County, Health Unit
is encouraging owners to keep a
careful watch on their pets and to
keep them confined. , •
Signs to watch for in a rabid
ap,imal are hard to pin down. Dr.
Bill Thompson, of Health of
Animals, Seaforth, reported that
if specific symptoms are listed
and a pet owner doesn't recognize
the symptoms or if the animal
does riot react in the prescribed
manner then the owner feels that
`his pet does not have the disease.
If the animal acts out of the
ordinary— a vet should -be
consulted.
The, areas with the most
recorded cases are East
Wawaposh, West Wawanosh 'nd
Ashfield , townships although
other cases have been: reported
'-throughout the county.
