Rabies surge in Arizona sparks new alert
Arizona is in the midst of an ongoing rabies outbreak, prompting a warning from state health officials to stay away from wild animals, particularly those acting strangely or aggressively.
The problem started last year, when there were a record 176 laboratory-confirmed rabies cases, mostly in bats, health officials said.
But since Jan. 1, the trend has become even more pronounced. Fifty-nine animals - primarily skunks and foxes - have tested positive for the viral illness, which can be deadly if not treated quickly.
