Wow! One more thing to worry about! Thankfully, I'm in New Mexico, and I've never heard of anyone having a problem with this, so hopefully I'm safe.
In NY a few years ago, a goat at a fair had rabies, and they spent literally millions of dollar testing and treating people who had been exposed.
You mean you can get rabies from animals by just walking by? I thought you had to be bitten or be exposed to body fluids in some other way. How do you know if you've been exposed? Sorry if I sound ignorant, but this is completely new to me.:/
That's what I read. I don't know why they felt the need to test and treat the people. Generally if you touch an animal with rabies, you would need to be tested.
