I've gotten the word out to everyone I know after my partner told me about this, but now it's time for people I don't know. If you or anyone know has petted goats in North Carolina recently, get your/their ass to the ER to be treated for rabies. Rabies can be treated *only* until it becomes symptomatic. Take this seriously. It is incredibly dangerous with a near 100% fatality rate if untreated, with well under 50 survivors, total, ever, on record. -alice https://www.tumblr.com/elodieunderglass/826478528305528832 #rabies #health #PettingZoo #vaccine
