RE: [indices] Rabies Vaccination

["Dr S Toovey" <toovey@travelclinic.co.za>]

The following is extracted from the South African National Department of
Agriculture's publication, "Rabies Guide for the Medical, Veterinary, and
Allied Professions" 

"Tissue and milk from a rabid animal should not be used for human or animal
consumption. Meat that has been cooked and milk that has been pasteurised or
refrigerated should not pose a danger.
People drinking raw milk and butchering a carcass should, however, be
regarded as a category 2 contact and should be vaccinated."
