Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious and potentially life-threatening disease transmitted through the air. While it can affect any part of the body (such as the brain, the kidneys or the spine), TB usually affects the lungs. When first infected with the TB germ, people usually do not feel sick or have any symptoms, which is latent TB infection. However, they may develop active TB disease in the future, so treating the infection is important. Tuberculosis once was the leading cause of death in the United States; today in Illinois, less than 30 deaths a year are attributed to tuberculosis and the number of cases in the state has fallen more than 40 percent in the past 10 years. There are between one and four cases of active TB in Kankakee County each year.

狂犬病 is a deadly disease that can affect all mammals, and is found in all states, except Hawaii. People usually are exposed to the rabies virus when an infected animal bites them. Exposure may occur if the animal's saliva enters an open cut or mucous membrane (nose, mouth, eyes). The most common carrier of rabies in Illinois are bats. The presence of a bat in a home, or any contact with a bat, represents a possible hazard for rabies. 联系 the Kankakee County Health Department immediately if there has been human or pet mammal exposure to a bat. 狂犬病 vaccine may be needed.

What you can do to reduce your risk:

  • Do not feed, touch or adopt wild animals or stray dogs or cats. 
  • Be sure dogs and cats are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations. 
  • Do not allow pets to roam free. 
  • Do not attract wild animals to your home or yard. Store bird seed or other animal feed in containers with tight-fitting lids. 在室内喂养宠物. Make sure garbage cans are tightly capped. Board up any openings to your attic, basement, porch or garage. Cap chimneys with screens. 
  • Encourage children to immediately tell an adult if they are bitten or scratched by an animal. Teach children not to approach or to touch any animal they do not know. 
  •  Report all animal bites to the Kankakee County Animal Control
