Environmental Programs - Rabies-Animal Bites
All animal bites involving human exposure are required by law to be reported to the local health department within 24 hours per Ohio Administrative Code 3701-3-02 through 3701-3-06 and 3701-3-28 through 3701-3-30.
Follow up by our staff assures that privately owned pets involved in biting incidents are vaccinated against rabies following the quarantine period.
The Huron County General Health District can provide free rabies testing of an animal after a bite, scratch, or other human exposure has occurred. We cannot accept any live animals for this testing. The animal must be humanely euthanized.
