BREAKING: Rabid Raccoon Found in Prospect Park

Posted by: AuthorErica | DateSaturday, December 4, 2010 at 8:30AM

And, the hits just keep on coming.

"On December 2, 2010 a dead raccoon, collected from Prospect Park tested positive for rabies a the Public Health Laboratory."

So says the NY Dept of Health & Mental Hygiene in an alert they put out yesterday.

Apparently this is only the second rabid racoon ever found in Prospect Park since raccoon rabies hit the scene in 1992 (the first one was found this Feb in Boerum Hill).

They're going to continue to monitor the situation and suggest that now might be a good time to make sure that your pets have their up-to-date rabies vaccinnations.

My best advice: if you see a raccoon, RUN LIKE FORREST GUMP in the opposite direction.
