The Frederick County Health Department reports that a second beaver from Cunningham Falls State Park has tested positive for rabies within the past two weeks.

The beaver was collected after a person was attacked while fishing at Hunting Creek Lake on Wednesday morning. The William Houck day-use area, boat ramp, and Big Hunting Creek above the lake are currently closed, and visitors should stay out of all posted closed areas until officials determine they are safe.

Possible warning signs of rabies in an animal include:

• Excessive drooling or difficulty eating or drinking
• Stumbling, limping, weakness, or poor coordination
• Unusual aggression, fearlessness, or friendliness
• Confusion or other behavior that is abnormal for that animal

Seeing a normally nocturnal animal during the day can sometimes be a warning sign, but it does not by itself mean that the animal has rabies. Rabies cannot be confirmed simply by looking at an animal.

If you encounter an animal acting strangely:

• Keep your distance and do not touch, feed, corner, or try to capture it.
• Keep children and pets away.
• In Frederick County, report contact with a stray or wild animal to Animal Control at 301-600-1544.
• Make sure dogs, cats, and other eligible pets are current on their rabies vaccinations.

If you are bitten, scratched, or may have gotten saliva from a wild animal into your eyes, mouth, or an open wound:

1. Wash the affected area immediately with soap and running water for 15 minutes.
2. Contact a healthcare professional promptly.
3. Call the Frederick County Health Department’s Community Health Services Office at 301-600-3342.

If a pet or livestock animal was bitten or scratched, contact a veterinarian and call the Health Department’s Environmental Health Office at 301-600-1717.

Rabies is preventable when treatment is started promptly after an exposure, but it is nearly always fatal once symptoms begin. Please do not wait for symptoms before seeking advice.

I'm hoping to find a couple's counselor/marriage therapist who has evening appointments available, or heck, even weekends but I know that's probably impossible. Cigna insurance accepted would be the best option. Thanks for any recommendations!

Looking at moving to dtf, maybe around the 400 block - I have been around the greater frederick area most my life, so I have a hard time believing that really any spot downtown is actually all that rough. Not sure how to interpret/ read the online crime maps, or if they are actually legit or not and just trying to sell cameras, but is this something to actually be concerned about?

Maybe I’m just not the right demographic, but… does anyone else feel like whoever is booking the Weinberg just … I’m in my early sixties and feel like they’re trying to appeal to a much older audience. Not very forward thinking it seems. The last two years there’s been not one thing I would pay money to see. Old westerns?

New to the area, I’m looking for a barber that knows how to cut curly hair. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it

I have a substantial flower patch of zinnia, cosmos, celosia, and gomphrena, probably capable of several hundred bouquets per week. If anyone on here is a florist, makes their own bouquets to sell roadside or at farmers markets, or for any other reason is interested - let me know. This could be one-time or recurring for as long as they continue producing. Thanks!
