According to her own statements, she was bitten and scratched in the neck by a squirrel and was vaccinated against rabies as a precaution. Another woman said that because of the aggressive animals, she no longer leaves her house without pepper spray.
The city’s health department called on residents to report abnormal animals to the local authorities. At the same time, the officials reassured the citizens: “Squirrels and many other small rodents are rarely infected with rabies,” it said in a statement.
Most squirrels in New York are gray, according to authorities. Park rangers warn against feeding squirrels as this can make them lose fear of people.
