Kent State Police Department

HEY FLASHES! FYI: The USDA will begin distributing oral rabies vaccines (ORV) bait from now until Mid-September in several Ohio counties including Portage. The bait bags are about the size of a matchbox and will be distributed by plane, helicopter or vehicle. If you see them, it is recommended you leave them alone or if need be, wear gloves and move them to a wooded area or wildlife habitat. They aren't dangerous to your pets but could give them an upset stomach. Rabies is virtually 100% fatal, the bait helps control the transmission from animal to animal or animal to human.
If you touch a broken bait bag and the liquid gets on you - wash your hands and any exposed skin. That is the very short version...the rest of the info is below in the comments if you have a few minutes to read everything. If you have questions, you can contact USDA wildlife services at 330-726-3386 or 1-866-4-USDA-WS
