"Tucson Woman's Harrowing Encounter with a Possibly Rabid Fox"

A woman in Tucson, Jorie O’Brien, was attacked by a possibly rabid fox while hiking on Mount Lemmon. She managed to fend off the fox, but had to undergo six rabies shots as a precaution. The fox was later tracked down and killed by Arizona Game and Fish. Officials are awaiting test results to determine if the fox had rabies. O’Brien advises hikers to be cautious and maintain a respectful distance from wildlife, especially if they exhibit erratic behavior, and to report any concerning animal behavior to park rangers or Game and Fish.
