BE AWARE OF RABIES RISK

Rabies has been in the news lately after a national warning from the CDC, but our local data doesn't show any notable increase in rabies cases. We have had three confirmed rabies cases so far this year, involving a beaver in Lake George and two bats. That is in line with our annual average of 3-4 cases.

That said, rabies is present in local wildlife, and our local wildlife remains active this time of year. That occasionally puts them in contact with humans.

Most mammals, including raccoons 🦝, bats πŸ¦‡, foxes, beavers, skunks and coyotes, can contract rabies and transmit it to other animals, such as pets or humans.

It also doesn't take a bit to transmit rabies. Exposure to saliva from an infected animal can pass it on.

There are steps you can take to lessen your chance of exposure to rabies:

🦊 Avoid contact with wild animals.
πŸ• Vaccinate pets.
πŸ¦‡ Protect your home from bat intrusion, sealing potential entry points.
🐾 Report any wild animal bites or encounters to your local public health agency.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. If you are a man over the age of 50, it's time to talk to your medical provider about prostate cancer screening. PSA blood tests are quick and painless, and they provide surveillance as to the health of your prostate. Catching prostate cancer early is often key to a good outcome.

Every year, nearly 16,000 children across America are diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 20% of them will not survive the fight. It's the number one killer of our children.

Many of the causes of pediatric cancer are still largely unknown, and though new discoveries are resulting in new treatments, this heartbreaking disease continues to scar families and communities in ways that may never fully heal.

This month, we remember the young lives taken too soon, stand with the families facing childhood cancer today, and rededicate ourselves to combating this terrible illness.

Lunch is included, and everyone who completes the training receives a certificate.
