[GRAS]

The Mid-Atlantic strain of rabies was brought to the East by hunters, after
destroying local raccoons, wanted more raccoons to kill, so they brought
them from Virginal and surrounding states.

I just did some reading on rabies and it appears that mice and other rodents
don't carry Rabies. Raccoons foxes and bats look to be the heaviest

carrying rabies!
