All mammals (including people!) can get sick with the Rabies virus. Wild animals account for more than 90% of reported cases with bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes most often exposing United States residents to rabies.

The last human case of Rabies in Ohio occurred in 1970. About 60 animals are confirmed rabid in Ohio every year. Similar to U.S. statistics, most cases are in wildlife such as bats, skunks, and raccoons. Since 2000, Ohio has also had rabies confirmed in horses, foxes, cats, cows, coyotes, groundhogs, and opossums.

Rabies is one of the oldest known diseases in human history. Descriptions of "mad dogs" and the danger of their bites date back to the Athenian State (c. 460–320 BCE), which laid out fines for owners whose dogs caused deaths via rabies.

Today, if your pet bites someone or another's pet it's our job at Wyandot County Public Health to require you to quarantine your pet for 10 days after the bite and provide veterinarian records proving that your pet’s rabies vaccine is up to date!

National Public Health Week 2026 invites all Americans to renew their commitment to strengthening the systems, science, and community partnerships that keep us healthy.

Rabies is a rare but serious public health concern in the U.S. It’s a deadly virus spread to people and animals through the bites or scratches of an infected mammal. The rabies virus is transmitted through direct contact between broken skin or mucus membranes (e.g. eyes) and infectious tissue or fluids, including saliva.

Rabies attacks the central nervous system, typically beginning with flu-like symptoms and evolves to neurological symptoms, such as hallucinations, fear of water, and extreme behavior changes. Survival after symptoms appear is rare. It most often ends with paralysis and death, often occurring within days of symptoms beginning. So don't wait after a potential exposure to seek care!

It's a special time of year where families come together in celebration of several spring holidays. 🌷Whether enjoying a Seder meal with Brisket or an Easter dinner with ham or lamb, follow USDA’s Food Safety Steps and remember these quick tips:

🥚Don't let eggs sit out at room temp for more than 2 hours. Keep hard-cooked eggs in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

🥚All cooked egg dishes should reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 F. Check temps with a food thermometer!

🥚 If you plan to eat the Easter eggs you decorate, use only food-grade dye. Consider using plastic eggs for your Easter egg hunt.

🥚 Kosher meat and poultry are produced under rabbinical supervision. Verify the safety of meats by looking for the USDA mark of inspection to ensure the product was produced in an establishment inspected by the USDA.

🥚 Enjoying a brisket? Allow plenty of time for thawing frozen brisket. Thawing in the fridge takes about 24 hours for a trimmed, first-cut brisket. A whole brisket can take several days to thaw. Bake brisket, fat side up in a baking dish, in an oven set no lower than 325 F. The brisket is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 F and is allowed to rest at that temperature for three minutes.

🥚 Having ham for your Easter feast? Check the package, some Ham is ready-to-eat, while other types require cooking. Follow instructions carefully. Fresh, uncooked hams must be cooked to reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 160 F.

🥚 If lamb is on the menu, be sure to cook lamb dishes to a minimum internal temperature of 145 F.

Wyandot County Public Health wishes you a very happy and food safe spring holiday!
