Default Rabies Alert - Houston area!!

I was at my vet today and saw an alert from one of the counties....the link is below. What is interesting (and scary) is that there are quite a few confirmed cases all around this area.


Rabies Alert For Our Area! | Houston PetTalk


From the site:

Montgomery County Animal Control has received a second confirmed case of rabies from an indigenous wildlife animal in northwest Montgomery County since January. The first confirmed rabid animal was a skunk that tested positive on January 6, 2011 and the second confirmed case was a fox that tested positive on May 6, 2011. There have been 3 other confirmed cases of rabies in skunks in the adjacent counties. There was one skunk reportedly in Grimes County and two skunks in northern most portion of Harris County, near Hockley. The distance between the two confirmed cases in Montgomery County was 5.5 miles (see Map).
