One person came in contact with a rabid skunk in Cambridge and is being treated, reported the Waterloo Region Health Unit.
It is cautioning people to avoid skunks or other wildlife exhibiting abnormal behaviour, such as no fear of humans.
If a person does have contact, they are advised to wash that area of their body with soapy water.
The health unit is also reminding pet owners that they have an obligation to vaccinate them against rabies.
