I read a news story about a guy who died from rabies after receiving a kidney transplant. Although nobody was aware when he died, the donor of the kidney had contracted rabies after being scratched by a skunk several weeks before he died and his organs were harvested.
I got curious about how the donor got scratched by the skunk, but instead only found this article from August, which informed me that the U.S. has a rabies outbreak, and has more deaths from rabies in the last year than several previous years…
Not sure if people were already talking about this outbreak, and I just missed it? It’s been a bit of a weird year, and there’s been a lot of crazy shit to keep up with.
Anyway, this is also how I ended up reading the sentence informing me some people are worried dogs are getting autism from vaccines.
Outbreaks of rabies seem to be rising across the U.S., CDC surveillance shows
I want to meet an autistic dog.
Mine demands a stable routine, sometimes makes a ton of noise, only to retreat if anything else makes similar noise, is super smart, but forgetful. Very sensitive to emotions. Overall a lovely dog, but this might get her a diagnosis. (Not a professional, just have a dog)
