The Sudbury and District Health Unit is reminding the public to report any bites or scratches from animals. This comes on the heels of a growing number of reports of rabies in southern Ontario. The SDHU says foxes, raccoons, skunks, and bats are the main carriers. However, household pets are a link to spreading the disease to humans.
The SDHU says to report any bite or scratch to your local health unit, and ensure all of your own animals are vaccinated.
