I went to the WebMD website to check their information on rabies, and it looks like they have taken our letters to heart. It now says: "Rabies is caused by a virus that is usually spread through contact with an infected animal's saliva. In the United States, the rabies virus is found almost exclusively in wildlife. Bats, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and coyotes are the most common hosts of rabies. ...Occasionally, the rabies virus can spread to pets, such as dogs, cats, and domestic ferrets. However, household pets rarely get rabies, due to successful vaccination programs. A pet that always stays indoors is highly unlikely to be exposed to the virus." Hopefully this will quickly propagate to the daughter sites such as Answer.com and Medicinenet.com. Claire [Posted in FML issue 5346]
