My son was bitten in school the other day. By another kid who was 10 years old. I called the school and told them to pass along a message for me to the other kids parents. "If your kid EVER bites mine again, I'll demand that you test for rabies. And I cut off his head myself." Remember folks- a human bite is much more dangerous than that of a properly vaccinated domestic companion animal. Let's not forget this, and make it our New Years Resolution to tell everyone we can that there has NEVER been a documented case of rabies transmission via bite from a ferret. It can not happen. THe ferret will die before the virus is shed into the saliva, which is where it needs to be to infect during a bite. It is more likely that a ferret will get rabies from a bite from it's human than a human getting rabies from a bite from it's ferret. Also, the Imrab3 rabies vaccination for ferrets is significantly more effective than the approved rabies vaccines for dogs. -Mrs. Duck [Posted in FML issue 1796]
