<div dir="ltr">That's probably because in order to catch rabies from a bear bite, you 'd have to survive the bear attack. Survival rate from a bear attack seems to vary, but it's not very good. Bear attacks are pretty rare in and of themselves (chances are about 1 in 2ish million), plus there have been less than half a dozen cases of rabies in bears in the last 20 years. <div><br></div><div># OF DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES PER YEAR<br><br>Cause of death ………………… # dead<br>Cardiovascular disease …….. 856,030<br>Transportation accidents ...…. 48,441</div><div>COVID-19...................................4520*** <br>Drowning ……………………….. 3,582<br>Hypothermia ………………..……699<br>West Nile virus ……………..….. 119<br>Hornet/bee/wasp stings …......... 48.5<br>Snake bites ……………….….….. 5.2<br>Bear attacks ………….............….. 2</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>***so far</div><div><br></div><div>Eric, maybe just stop eating bacon in the shop, that will save you from heart disease and keep the bears away.</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">--<br>__<br>Miq Millman <a href="mailto:miq@bigllama.com" target="_blank">miq@bigllama.com</a><br>Tualatin, OR Big Llama Productions<br></div></div><br></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>

but very rare. According to <a href="http://humanesociety.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">humanesociety.org</a>: People have little <br>
to fear in terms of catching diseases or parasites from bears. As <br>
warm-blooded animals, bears can get rabies, but it is very rare. <br>
There are no known cases of a person catching rabies from a bear.<br>
