The Mahwah Health Department recently confirmed that an ill-appearing raccoon, located in the vicinity of Island Road, was rabid. Rabid animals may be aggressive, vicious, appear ill, or have difficulty walking. They may also exhibit “friendly” behavior, approaching humans or domestic animals without fear. Individuals who witness this type of behavior in a wild animal are advised to stay away from that animal and contact the Mahwah Police Department at (201) 529-1000. Only mammals (including humans) can contract rabies. Left untreated, it is always fatal. Officials find raccoon had rabies To protect yourself and your pets from contracting rabies, do not feed, handle, or approach stray, wild, or unknown animals. Vaccinate pets against rabies, and keep their immunizations current. Anyone who is bitten by any animal should immediately clean the wound with soap and water, and seek prompt medical advice or attention. Report all bites to the Mahwah Health Department, (201) 529-5757, option 2.
