Rabies Discussion Clarifies Local Situation In Wilmette

In the last 15 months about 150 dogs were hospitalized for injuries or illness and fifteen died of rabies. The chances of a person in Wilmette being bitten are about one in ten, not one in many thousands. Cauterization is not a wise treatment, and many exposed people require preventive treatment after handling rabid animals. The virus may be present in saliva four to seven days before symptoms appear. About three people have been treated per dog to prevent rabies.
