Rabies is always fatal.
You don’t need to be bitten to contract it. It can spread through saliva.
Almost 300 people in North Carolina are being evaluated for rabies exposure after baby goats at a mobile petting zoo were confirmed to be rabid.
This zoo travelled all over the state and went to back to school events and even assisted living facilities.
Please spread the word.
If you’re in North Carolina and had contact with baby goats, seek medical attention:
