Is Rabies a LV Problem This Summer?

According to The Bethlehem Police blog, "In the past few weeks, there have been reports of daylight sightings of foxes and other wild animals in Bethlehem and throughout the LehighValley."

I've seen nothing unusual in my daily walks and runs along the bike paths, except for those damn Canada Geese.

By the way, they don't get rabies. Only we mammals can be members of that club. Still, Canada Geese get very aggressive this time of year, and chase me all over the place. They are only protecting their cute little goslings. In another month, when those goslings become teenagers and start smoking weed, the Geese won't give a shit. They'll push the little brats right in front of me.

Several people have asked whether I already have rabies since I'm a real bad ass and do froth at the mouth. No worries. My head was cut off and sent in for testing last year.

The lab found absolutely nothing.

What are the signs of a rabid animal?

"The first sign of rabies is usually a change in an animal’s behavior. A rabid animal may become either abnormally aggressive or unusually tame. It may lose fear of people and become excited and irritable or appear friendly and affectionate. Adults should encourage children to immediately tell an adult if an animal has bitten them and to refrain from touching unfamiliar animals."
