Rabid beaver attacks
girl at Lake Lanier
Just 196 miles from Jenkins
County was a wild animal
attack
By Joe Brady, Editor
for
The Times
The incident involving a 50-pound beaver attacking a
young girl at Lake Lanier is a concerning event. The animal
tested positive for rabies, which is a viral disease that affects
the nervous system and can be fatal if left untreated. Rabies
is commonly found in certain wildlife species like raccoons,
skunks, and foxes, but it can also occur in other animals like
beavers, although such cases are less common.
Epidemiologist and veterinarian Julie Gabel, who works
for the state department of public health, emphasized the
importance of vaccinating pets against rabies to protect
them from the disease. Additionally, she advised people to
stay away from wildlife to avoid negative interactions and
potential exposure to rabies.
During the summer, there is typically an increase in
reports of rabid animals in Georgia, as people spend more
time outdoors, increasing the chances of encountering
wildlife. In response to this, the Georgia Department of
Public Health routinely tests animals for rabies, processing
up to 2,000 animals a year, with around 200 positive cases
on average. Most cases involve carnivorous wildlife, but
occasionally, other animals like horses, cows, dogs, and
cats may also test positive.
For humans who are bitten or scratched by a potentially
rabid animal, there is a treatment available in the form of
a series of shots. The Georgia Poison Center is a valuable
resource that provides rabies risk assessments 24/7 to help
determine whether medical treatment is necessary.
Any cases of rabies should be promptly reported to local
public health departments to ensure appropriate measures
can be taken to prevent further spread of the disease.
Overall, staying vigilant and taking precautionary measures
are essential in reducing the risk of rabies transmission.
