Due to the nature of the outbreak, a risk alert has been issued for the border region between Veracruz and Oaxaca, urging extreme caution when in contact with suspected animals.
Human rabies is almost always fatal once neurological symptoms appear. The mayor clarified that the deceased individual did not contract the virus in Jesús Carranza but rather in the municipality of Isla, after being attacked by a vampire bat. As a veterinarian, he warned that rabies represents a public health problem throughout southeastern Veracruz due to its presence in wildlife.
