As of September 1, Davie County will no longer add fluoride to the public drinking water system.

Fluoride occurs naturally in water, so this does not necessarily mean County water will contain zero fluoride.

PUBLIC HEALTH UPDATE:
Farmington Rodeo Attendees Are Not Affected by Rabies Alert

Davie County Health & Human Services, Division of Public Health, is providing additional information regarding the recent potential rabies exposure associated with a mobile petting zoo at the Masonic Picnic.

Individuals who attended the rodeo at the Farmington Community Center on August 28–29, 2026, are NOT affected by this rabies alert.

While a mobile petting zoo was also present at the Farmington event, those animals were not provided by the same farm associated with the Masonic Picnic and the confirmed rabies cases.

There is no identified rabies risk to individuals who attended the Farmington rodeo based on this situation, and attendees do not need to contact Public Health regarding their attendance at that event.

The original public health alert continues to apply to individuals who attended the Masonic Picnic on August 15, 2026, and had close contact with baby goats from the mobile petting zoo.

For questions, contact Davie County Health & Human Services, Division of Public Health, at 336-753-6750.

Davie County Health & Human Services was notified this afternoon by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services of potential rabies exposures associated with a mobile petting zoo that operated in multiple North Carolina counties between July 28 and August 27, 2026.

The state has confirmed positive rabies test results in several young goats associated with the mobile petting zoo. Animals from the petting zoo were present at the Masonic Picnic on August 15, 2026, at 201 Poplar Street in Mocksville.

While human exposure to rabies through livestock is generally considered lower risk than exposure from a penetrating bite from an animal such as a raccoon or fox, there is still a potential risk. Rabies exposure can occur when saliva from an infected animal comes into contact with the eyes, nose, mouth or an open wound.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
Anyone who attended the Masonic Picnic on August 15 and had close contact with baby goats at the mobile petting zoo should contact Davie County Health & Human Services, Division of Public Health, at 336-753-6750 for guidance.

During weekends or after regular business hours, callers should follow the voicemail prompts (Option 2) to reach the Nurse On-Call.

Individuals who attended the event but did not have close contact with the goats do not need to call based solely on attendance.

****************
Esta tarde, el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos del Condado de Davie fue notificado por el
Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Carolina del Norte sobre posibles exposiciones a la rabia
relacionadas con un zoológico móvil de mascotas que operó en varios condados de Carolina del Norte
entre el 28 de julio y el 27 de agosto de 2026.
El estado ha confirmado resultados positivos de rabia en varios cabritos jóvenes asociados con el
zoológico móvil de mascotas. Animales del zoológico estuvieron presentes en el Picnic Masónico el 15
de agosto de 2026, en el 201 Poplar Street en Mocksville.
Aunque la exposición humana a la rabia a través de ganado generalmente se considera de menor riesgo
que la exposición por una mordida penetrante de un animal como un mapache o un zorro, todavía
existe un riesgo potencial. La exposición a la rabia puede ocurrir cuando la saliva de un animal infectado
entra en contacto con los ojos, la nariz, la boca o una herida abierta.

QUÉ DEBE HACER:
Cualquiera que haya asistido al Picnic Masónico el 15 de agosto y haya tenido contacto cercano con los
cabritos en el zoológico móvil de mascotas debe comunicarse con Servicios de Salud y Humanos del
Condado de Davie, División de Salud Pública, al 336-753-6750 para recibir orientación.
Durante los fines de semana o fuera del horario laboral, las personas que llamen deben seguir las
indicaciones del buzón de voz (Opción 2) para comunicarse con la enfermera de guardia.
Las personas que asistieron al evento, pero no tuvieron contacto cercano con los cabritos no necesitan
llamar solo por haber asistido.
