Fortunately for the woman, they caught it early. The State Public Health Veterinarian says if left untreated, the virus can eventually get to your brain and become fatal.

The Alabama Department of Public Health says she was unloading groceries from her car when it happened. The health department tested the animal and confirmed it was positive for rabies.

In our state, rabies is more prevalent in raccoons and bats which can spread to our pets, or even us, with just one bite.
