After doing some research yesterday (and discovering beaver can be rabid and they carry several parasites that transfer to humans that can be really nasty) we decided to call Environmental Health. They sent someone to pick up the beaver to check for rabies.
We should know something Wednesday. The agent said it was a 'low risk contact' so we really aren't expecting rabies to come back as positive but it was prudent to find out for sure.
Poor fellas... didn't get to skin the beaver...
Welcome to our life! We are Tony and Dana Lewis and this is our family and a glimpse into our lives here in the beautiful Upstate of SC.
