According to the book, rabies can be transmitted by several species of mammals including skunks, bats, foxes, coyotes, and raccoons. Unprovoked attacks by these mammals should be considered an attack by a rabid animal. Dogs and cats in the United States have a low incidence of rabies, and livestock, rabbits, gerbils, chipmunks, squirrels, rats, and mice have never caused rabies in humans in the United States. It is also mentioned that the rabies vaccine available in the United States is very effective with low side effects.
