(word for word, not trying to take credit)
Rabies has been reported in every state except Hawaii. In 2003, the other 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico reported 6,846 cases of rabies in animals. There were two reported cases in humans in 2003.
In the last 100 years, the number of human deaths from rabies in the United States has fallen from 100 or more per year to an average of 1-2 per year. This decline is due to both the improved control and vaccination of domestic animals and to the development of effective postexposure treatment and vaccines. Although human deaths from rabies are now rare in the United States, every year approximately 40,000 persons receive postexposure treatment for rabies exposure.
Each year rabies kills more than 50,000 people and millions of animals worldwide.
