Rabid Skunk Outbreak Continues

Since the beginning of June officials in Colorado have found a whole slew of sick or dead skunks with rabies.

So far twenty-two have been found in Larimer and Weld Counties.

Authorities have also found a couple rabid foxes this month.

Both the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment and the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment have warned residents to be on the alert for dead animals, or for living ones acting strangely.


Rabies is a very contagious disease that affects the nervous system in it's victims.


It can also cause those sick with it to become violent.
