| RALEIGH, N.C. (CBS Charlotte) - Officials with both the North Carolina Division of Public Health and the Wildlife Commission are urging hunters to be wary about rabbit fever after two hunters contracted it this month. Their warning, reported by the Wilson Times, comes just before the end of rabbit hunting season on Feb. 28. The disease, tularemia, is a rare and possibly fatal affliction that has already affected two members of a hunting party in the state recently -- and has led to a confirmed 17 cases overall since 1999. |
