"It seems to run in cycles," Boddington said. "It peaked in 1962 with 10 cases, then again in 1971-72 when we had 24 cases in 1971 and 14 in 1972.

We seem to see peaks about every eight years or so." Boddington said a Livingston County family had to undergo rabies treatments because of the rabid dog found in the county last year. The dog was thought to be a stray when it was found, but later Boddington found a rural family who had lost a dog similar to the rabid one. As a precaution, he said, they were given rabies treatments. A fanner who owned one of the rabid cows also had to have the treatments, he said. There was a confirmed rabid skunk found on the farmer's property earlier and another skunk thought to have rabies was found a short time later.

Livingston By MARY ANN FilCK Pantograph staff More rabid animals were detected in Illinois in 1981 than ever before, according to the director of the state health department.

Some people believe skunks are "true carriers" of rabies like bats are, Boddington said.

A true carrier is not affected by the rabies which act as a killer in other animals. Boddington said there is no evidence to prove the belief. The disease is transmitted through contact with the saliva of a rabid animal. Boddington said it also can be transmitted if a person rubs his eyes after a rabid animal, such as a dog, licks their hand. Kempiners suggests people should take precautions to minimize the chances of rabies exposure such as avoiding contact with stray cats and wild animals and not allowing pets to roam unsupervised.

If bitten by an animal, Kempiners said to wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and try to keep the animal under observation until it is captured by an animal control official.

Skunks, with 456 rabid cases reported, were the most frequently mentioned carriers. However, Kempiners said, "What concerns us most is that, in 1981, we had an increase In the number of confirmed cases of rabies in cattle, cats, dogs and other domestic animals. Obviously, since people have more contact with domestic animals than with wild ones, the risk of human exposure to rabies increases as the number of rabid domestic animals increases." Confirmed cases are those in which the animal has been tested at the laboratory and confirmed as rabid. Although 340 of the cases were reported by mid-June last year, Kempiners said the disease is not just a hot weather problem. Nearly 200 confirmed cases occurred between Jan.
