    While rabies infections from animal bites in humans are rare, they are 100 percent fatal if left untreated, Animal Services said.

    If you or anyone in your household including pets has had any exposure to stray or wild animals in the area of Stowe Road within the past few weeks, contact your physician or the Virginia Beach Department of Public Health immediately.

    The Department of Public Health can be reached at 757-518-2700.
