Rabies is a virus that attacks the central nervous system. It is transmitted from infected mammals to humans and is fatal once symptoms appear. Symptoms of rabies include unusual behavior, irritability, headache, fever, inability to eat or drink, balance problems, circling, seizures, coma and, finally, death. All warm-blooded mammals, including humans, are susceptible to rabies.
The MCHD’s rabies officer vaccinated 1,537 household pets in 2022, according to the health department.
