Durham Regio n bas the eighth bighest inci- dence of rabies in Ont- ario. "The increased inci- dences of rabies in Ont- ario is- alarming and a, serious threat to ail pet owners, farmers and anyone who may corne into contact with domes- tic or wild animaIs," said Grossman. In 1982, 2,281 animais were found to be rabid, and 2,402 people were treated for possible ex- posure' to rabies, the largest number ever re- corded in the province. Although the number of animal rabies cases from January hi March, 198 has decreased to 491 from 614 in the same period last year, the number of people treat- ed for exposure bas ini- creased from 476 to 569. Rabies is a contagions and fatal disease which is spread from one ani- mal to another or from an animal to a human via biing or the contact of open wounds or mem- branes witb infected saliva. If the infection is established in the .ner- vous system- and symp- toms develop, death is inevitable. Durham Region had 89 diagnosed rabies case in 1982., This represented a sharp in- crease from 57 cases in 1981. "It's of paramount importance, particular- ly as we face the possi- bility of large numnber of animal rabies cases, -'that the public does ail it can to protect itself from this dangerous dis- ease," Grossman stated. There are a number of precautions that must be taken. Some pre- cautions which mut be taken are; vaccinate farm or domnestic ani- mais, keep pets, espe- cially cats, indoors at night, stay away from ail wild animais, do not touch any dead, animal, do not kil a suspected rabid animal unless it attacks. If you have con- tacted- an animal and kiiled it, save the head for laboratory examina- tion. If a family pets shows signs of being sick, and if there is any possibility of exposure to a rabid animal, contact a veter- inarian.
