A woman walked into a North Dakota bar carrying a raccoon, leading health officials to warn those who had contact with the animal about possible rabies exposure.
Smith said she immediately asked the woman to leave but instead she took the raccoon around the bar to show another customer. The woman eventually departed with the animal after about five minutes.“It never left her arms one time, and there was absolutely no biting.”Rabies is a viral infection that affects mammals, including humans.
“Because rabies is such a serious disease with a nearly 100% fatality rate, we are making this information available to the public as a precautionary measure,” epidemiologist Amanda Bakken said in a statement. Six rabid animals have been reported in North Dakota this year, including two bats, two cats, one bovine and one skunk.
