Taking a Bite Out of Crime
Rabies is a contagious infection of the central nervous system. A specific virus that enters the body through the bite of an animal causes rabies. All warm-blooded animals are susceptible, but in the United States the disease is most common in skunks, foxes, bats, raccoons, dogs, and cats.

Activity: Research the rabies virus. As a responsible pet owner, what should you do to prevent your dog or cat from contracting this disease?
