Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I always thought rabies was exceptionally rare, like just a handful of cases per year? Or is that just the US
That’s in countries with good vaccination programs for pets, good animal control, and the money to keep it going.
Poor countries have a big feral/stray dog problem and no money to try to vaccinate or spay/neuter-release the animals to try to deal with it.
Yes, rabies is very rare in the US, and the top exposures to rabies for this country are Bats, Raccoons, Skunks and Foxes. And of course: don’t mess with wild animals acting strangely, if you find a bat in your (or your kids) bedroom, follow your local health board requirements which may necessitate the capture of the bat and/or getting rabies vaccines.
