Well that's new, the mutts has by accident, I'm sure, started to share a bed. Sorry Paddy's privates, but that how he sleeps.

**Public Service Announcement!**

If you are planning to travel with your mutt at any time in the future, do check their paperwork well ahead of time. As we were at the vets last week just for a check up on Penny and the vet noticed that previous vet had made a mistake on the Pet passport. So instead of having 2 year to go on her rabies jabs, we had run out. Previous vet had given a 3 year jab but filled in as a 1 year jab.

Lucky we are very flexible with our time and plans. Though we could be in trouble if entering another EU country and we wouldn't have been able to enter the yUK. Especially if the vet at the border is strict or doesn't know all the difference brands of jabs. Though now we are "stuck" in France for 21 days, while we wait for the new rabies jab is doing its thing.

Our two rescue dogs, Paddy the Irish mutt is sleeping upside down, you can see his white chest, legs up and his privates are out in the open. Penny the Spanish Podenco is curled up next to him, on just a little part of the bed.

We were just talking in another thread about rabies in Ontario. Turns out they found a poor little fox with rabies.

"It was actually bat rabies," said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, about the detection on June 13. "So that doesn't surprise me because we do have rabid bats in the area."

That's an important distinction ... signifying the virus didn't transmit between foxes.

"That would present a whole kind of ecosystem of rabies," he said on Wednesday.

Wasn't even a bite, it was a scratch. 😞

Get yourself vaccinated against rabies before going on bikepacking trips outside of central European countries, especially southeast Europe, Africa, and Asia!

Otherwise you end up with severe worries about your health after being exposed to animals salivary like I did. I got the first shot of post-exposure-vaccination-treatment in Istanbul, which wasn't fun because the hospital was in a very bad condition as you see on the pictures. Also it was stressful to organize it: Which hospital in Instanbul has rabies vaccination? How much does it cost? (12€) Where do I go there? (taxi, 15-20€) Can I get the first shot in Istanbul and the rest at home in Germany/Can you combine rabies vaccination from different companies? (yes) Will my health insurance cover the flight back in case of possible exposure? (yes, at least that's what mine – Envivas – did)

To avoid all this, start the vaccination process at least 2 months before going on your bikepacking trip. The sooner the better (e.g. 6 months in advance). In some German hospitals you might get it spontaneously, but your health insurance might not refund the costs (3-4x 90€).

For further information also see my rabies awareness post (picture with a black and white cat). And get yourself a proper travel health insurance!!

Get in touch with doctors & rabies experts if you have specific questions related to the topic.

1. This Bulgarian street cat caused me a lot of worries, because I let it lick my slightly wounded fingers without being vaccinated against rabies.
2. It was only after a fellow traveler told me about the possibility of rabies infection by touching stray animals that I understood the danger I put myself in.
3. Rabies is a viral infection that is 100 % deadly once clinical symptoms occur. Most often, dogs & cats, but also foxes, bats, and some other wild animals do transfer the virus to humans. Their behavior can be conspicious (extremely confiding or agressive), but it isn’t a reliable exclusion criterion. Animals that seem perfectly healthy can be infected and highly contagious too.
4. The virus is carried through salivary by bites or licking. There is no medication against the disease. But you can prevent an infection by getting yourself vaccinated against it beforehand. The vaccination should immediately be renewed if you were bitten by an infected animal. If you were exposed to salivary possibly containing rabies virus, the disease can be stopped by immediately (!) cleaning the wound & directly receiving vaccination treatment.
5. Get yourself vaccinated in your home country before going on bikepacking trips, especially through southeast Europe, Africa, and Asia! Start at least 2 months in advance with vaccination process. In some German hospitals you might get it spontaneously, but your health insurance might not refund the costs (3-4x 90€).

@GreatBritishRailways

The #train delay, naturally, is because immediate, on-site #trauma counselling was required for the crew, plus getting an entire 7-person wildlife investigation team on site—in hazmat suits—to measure and weigh the dead gull, and take samples to test for #rabies.

It's been 11 months. Have the public hearings published any findings, yet?

Rabies- arguably one of the most dangerous, incurable diseases on the planet- isn't found in Australia, of all places.

Does uneven vaccination coverage really decrease disease control? This study uses fine-grained data of 20 years of dog #vaccination in Tanzania to show that reducing coverage gaps does indeed lower #rabies incidence; connectivity drives transmission @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4k4GL4G

An organ recipient died from #rabies. The deceased donor wasn't recognized as a rabies case, suffering from non-traditional symptoms. In addition, 3 recipients of corneal tissue were exposed, but were treated with post-exposure prophylaxis.
What a horrible situation.
