Poisonous Invader of the Northeast

Giant Hogweed (Heracleum Mantegazzianum) - Poisonous Invader of the Northeast Giant hogweed is a perennial herb with tuberous root stalks. It survives from one growing season to another by forming perennating buds and enduring a period of dormancy during the winter. It has just become one of an increasing number of New York States most striking, dangerous and invasive plants. You absolutely do not want to touch it and take it home to the family. It can make a case of poison Ivy seem like a mild itch. Click here for more information

Rabies and Animal Bites

RABIES What is Rabies? Rabies is a viral disease that causes brain inflammation in humans and other mammals. It is spread through bites or scratches from infected animals. It can also be transmitted if the infected saliva comes into contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Once symptoms appear, the result is almost always death. Symptoms can appear 1 to 3 months after exposure. Rabies Tips: Observe all wild animals from a distance. A rabid animal may appear tame, but don't go near it. Teach children to NEVER handle animals they don't know, even if they appear friendly. Report ANY animal bite or possible Bat exposure to your local county public health department. Wild animals should never be kept as pets. Do not try to pick up an injured or tame appearing animal if it does not belong to you. If you see any wild animal acting strangely - stay away from it and contact Animal Control. If you have any questions, contact your public health office. Rabies Facts: Rabies is most commonly found in dogs, bats, raccoons, skunks and foxes. Signs: Fever, headache, partial paralysis, insomnia, anxiety, confusion, agitation, paranoia, terror, hallucinations and may have a fear of water. DOG BITES There are approximately 4.5 million reported dog bites annually in the United States, nearly 2% of the American population. The majority of dog bites are never reported to local authorities. If bitten, contact your local public health office as soon as possible.

Firework Safety

Firework Safety This Independence Day, Please be courteous when setting off fireworks, which may be upsetting for dogs and Military Veterans. Loud, unexpected noises, such as fireworks can remind combat veterans with PTSD of gunfire or explosions they had experienced on the battlefield. Consider your neighbors by not setting them off too late at night or close to their homes, or better yet, go to an organized event! 1 in 5 dogs go missing after being scared by fireworks. More Dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year because the loud noises can scare even the bravest dog. Keep your best friends at ease: Exercise during the day Stay home Make them feel safe Distraction Act Normal Name Tags Have a Safe and Happy Independence Day!!
