Beaver that bit ‘several people’ in New Jersey tests positive for rabies - Global News
Overview
Town health officials reported that a beaver at Lake Henry in Mahwah, New Jersey had contact with several people on May 3 and subsequently tested positive for rabies. Officials are urging anyone who handled or was near the animal to seek medical evaluation for possible post-exposure treatment. The case highlights local rabies risk and comes as the CDC has paused some rabies diagnostic testing, a step that could complicate confirmatory testing and laboratory support for local health departments.
