With the summer
season now upon us, the Cattaraugus County Health Department has a few tips for
us. The Cattaraugus County Health Department continues
to hear from and see many residents of all ages who have immediate physical
needs, such as post exposure prophylaxis, due to contact with potentially rabid
animals. Rabies remains an ongoing public health problem across the
state. This deadly virus can spread to pets as well as to people in contact
with rabid animals. The health department wants people to be reminded to keep
pets vaccinated and avoid contact with wildlife including bats, raccoons,
skunks and foxes.
