High-Profile Rabies Outbreak - As Of September 2026

A rabies outbreak has been linked to a North Carolina mobile petting zoo (where rabid baby goats exposed hundreds of event attendees after contracting the virus from local wildlife).

If you suspect exposure, immediately go to an emergency room to begin post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) before symptoms start; then, promptly notify your local county health department and local animal control.
