Two Rabid Animals Found in Middletown This WeekMiddletown Township Health Department responded to a call concerning an aggressive groundhog on September 25th. Middletown Animal Control was able to capture the animal in the area of Main Street, Belford, between Broadway and Palmer Street. The animal was sent to the State Laboratory for testing. Results received on September 29, 2020 confirmed that the groundhog was rabid.
On September 30th, Middletown Animal Control recovered a raccoon that was killed by multiple dogs in the area of Hopi Drive, Windy Hill Lane and Kings Highway East. The animal was sent to the State Laboratory for testing. Lab results received confirmed the raccoon was positive for Rabies.
Residents should not interact with wildlife under any circumstance. If you come across a sick or injured animal, keep your distance and avoid all contact. Call Animal Control at 732-615-2097 immediately or contact the Police Department at 732-615-2100 after hours and on weekends. Please make sure all domestic animals (dogs, cats, and livestock) are currently vaccinated with a Rabies shot. Do not let your pets run free off leash, even in the woods, to ensure they do not come in contact with wildlife that may be rabid.
Rabies is a fatal disease. The best course of defense is the vaccination of your pets and not handling or interacting with wildlife. If you are bitten or exposed to blood/saliva of an animal, contact your physician immediately. Contact your Veterinarian immediately if your pet was exposed to wildlife, even if previously vaccinated.

NJ Poison Control Center Warns Community About Potential Misuse of Hand Sanitizers
In the COVID-19 era, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not just a household staple, they are an everyday necessity. Since becoming part of our daily defense against coronavirus infection, these products are kept just about everywhere — from vehicles to handbags/backpacks to lunchboxes. Although hand sanitizers play an important role in preventing infection and slowing the spread of COVID-19, these products can result in potentially serious health consequences. In fact, hand sanitizers carry a potential for misuse, abuse and accidental exposure which can lead to alcohol overdose (poisoning).
