Rabies (Hydrophobia)

This page presents some basic information on rabies and how it relates to hikers, backpackers, and campers in canyon country.

Caution: Medical and other health related information found on this page is intended as basic information and should be viewed as a starting point for further investigation by the visitor. Please do further research and speak to a licensed physician prior to using any of this medical advice.

 

Don't feed the wildlife. Squirrels and chipmunks often bite when fed and may carry serious diseases like Bubonic Plague or rabies. We will have more information later.
