virus lives in the brain and salivary glands of infected animals and is spread through saliva The disease is always fatal in humans once symptoms occur SAFE FROM RABIES Here's how to keep yourself and your pets safe: Keep household pets vaccinated annually A vaccinated pet bitten by a rabid animal requires only a booster shot A pet without proof of a current rabies vaccine may have to be destroyed tempt wildlife Raccoons are the biggest threat for rabies in Mecklenburg County Balestra said Keep them at bay by putting all garbage in cans with secure lids and not leaving pet food outside Report strange-acting animals wild or domestic immediately to animal control And never go near unfamiliar animals matter how docile they may Balestra said If your pet has been in a fight pull on rubber gloves before touching it to keep saliva from the other animal from touching you For more information call Mecklenburg animal control officials at (704) 336-3786 8 am-5 pm weekdays and 8:30 am-5 pm
