Let’s talk rabies. I know: What a pleasant topic on such a nice day. Hey, any day is nicer than a rabies-talkin’ kinda day.

As you might know, we had a confirmed rabies case in our area. A rabid raccoon lived up to its alliteration over in Stafford Township, Village Harbour area. It was trapped by animal control following up on a public lead.

This case is surely too close for comfort, though on Long Beach Island the danger is so minimal as to be unacknowledgeable. It’s a proven fact that rabies has a mortal dread of crossing bridges.
