From the D.C. Department of Health:
“A rabid raccoon has been captured in the vicinity of 32nd St. and Nebraska Ave. NW. If you came in contact with this animal call (202) 442-9143 or email [email protected]. Read about rabies here.”
The Washington Post reported:
“Three people in upper Northwest Washington have been attacked by a rabid raccoon, D.C.health officials said.
In a statement issued Monday night, the city’s Department of Health said the raccoon was captured “after attacking three people in the Chevy Chase neighborhood.”
Be safe Chevy Chase! Or is it Wakefield or Forest Hills? Be safe Washington D.C.!!
And I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the legendary garbage truck raccoon.
