Baltimore health officials are warning the public about several foxes that tested positive for rabies after they were picked up near Stony Run Park, a popular wooded area in North Baltimore. Officials at the city’s Office of Animal Control say there could be five more foxes from the same den still roaming in the Roland Park neighborhood and that people should avoid contact and report any potential exposures to the health department. Not only should people avoid approaching, feeding or handling wild animals, officials say they should also should not leave pets outside unattended. They should also check their pets for bites and make sure they are up to date on their rabies vaccines. Rabies is a deadly viral disease transmitted through animal saliva, typically via a bite, but also through an open cut or a person’s eyes, nose or mouth. It is fatal in humans once symptoms start. Symptoms resemble the flu, but infection can be prevented if treated immediately.
