UPDATE on a Previous Blog: Javelina That Bit Hiker HAS Rabies: (1-10-2010)

I reported last week (1-4-2010) that an Arizona hiker was pinned down and bitten by a rogue javelina.

Unfortunately, the javelina had rabies. I say "had", because the animal was shot dead by a police officer shortly after the attack.

The 66-year old hiker has started rabies treatement.
