Wow, what is it with all the rabies stories lately? I just read about another case today where a woman out for a walk was attacked by a rabid raccoon. To stop the attack, she held it underwater until it drowned (probably the WORST way to go if you have hydrophobia!).

Are we experiencing a spike in rabies cases or something? This one is particularly bad because of all the human exposures that may have occurred and won’t be known about until the person begins exhibiting symptoms which, by then, is usually too late.

I was curious, too, so...

Looks like 2014 is the last year they have data for.
