Rabies?

The way the vermin travel at will all over other people's gardens and
the countryside, and now an epidemic, how long before they pass it to
humans?

Be more worried about foxes.

And bats!

and rats

Rabies was the chief protagonist in the last nightmare I had as a
child which necessitated crawling into my parents bed.

Such a horrendous picture had been painted for me of the cure should
you catch it (you need to be bitten). Injections in the spine and the
demise, should it occur, breaking ones own by arching it with the most
excruciating pain - I was told.

Not a nice thing to put into a wee laddies imagination in order to
get him never to go near rats, dogs etc. This was in the Far East.
