I just read that some 1000 Girl Scouts may have been exposed to rabies at a camp in Virginia. Everyone is advised to be on the lookout for Girl Scouts. Just be sure that she doesn't bite you!

And I thought you were just kidding around: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/06/rabies.scouts.ap/index.html

Good thing it's not cookie-selling time. Those peanut-butter Tag-a-longs are so good they're worth the risk of a bite from a rabid Girl Scout!

"Camp officials have installed screens on windows, doors and eaves in all 54 of the camp's shelters since the incident."

I wonder how much that cost, in comparison to giving 950 girls rabies shots at $2000 per girl ($1,900,000)? Only 16 are actually getting the shots as of the time of the news article ($32,000). Plus the cost of any reactions to the vaccine.

"Always Prepared"? Even my dog is smirking.

Why no screens before "The Incident"? Don't they have mosquitos in Virginia?
