Rabies Risk

Rabies may be a concern after an animal bite if:

  • The animal that bit you was acting strangely or foaming at the mouth.
  • The animal attacked you for no clear reason.
  • The animal cannot be watched for signs of rabies.
  • You were bitten while you were in a foreign country or in the wilderness.
