Health Officials Remind Residents to Take Measures to Prevent Rabies
Following identification of rabies virus in a gray fox from the Indian Valley area this week, Plumas County Public Health is reminding residents that rabies can be found in local wildlife. “Rabies is a serious and nearly always fatal disease,” says Plumas County Health Officer, Dr. Mark Satterfield, “but is 100% preventable. People should avoid contact with wild animals and seek immediate medical care if they are bitten by a wild animal.”
