@NYTmag Seriously, if there is a bat inside your home, or there is a sick bat near you, disregard this article and call the health department for advice about rabies testing (for the bat) or rabies post-exposure vaccination (for you). Immediately!

NB kids get rabies shots after family dogs chase rabid raccoon around the yard. Kids-dogs shared Popsicles after. http://t.co/qa753ahq6i

@JustavetFromSDN Oh, and while I'm tweeting, thanks for talking up RABID!

[Monica Murphy @murphydvm]

@JustavetFromSDN But this is public health, and denominators matter! The crucial number is 70%, not 50,000, to stop circulation of rabies.

[Monica Murphy @murphydvm]

@JustavetFromSDN Thanks for pointing out the article about @MissionRabies to me. I do so love rabies eradication efforts and Krishna nets.
