 According to DPH, the most common rabies cases in Delaware are in stray or feral cats, bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes. Rabies is usually transferred through a bite, but in rare cases can come from other exposures like scratches, abrasions, or open wounds exposed to saliva from a rabid animal. If you think you have a rabies exposure, wash the wound and seek medical attention immediately. Joe Irizarry, Delaware Public Media.
