A body part from a deceased animal being tested for rabies caused deep concern at the highest level of the state Department of Public Health last year.
Officials say rabid raccoons and feral cats have been found in Hempstead, Cedarhurst, Valley Stream, Hewlett, Roslyn Heights, Massapequa Park and West Hempstead.
Two recent instances of rabies have recently been detected in northeastern Georgia, according to a Jan. 22 press release from the state’s Department of Health District 2 office.
