If you see a square brown lump that looks like animal food on a hiking trail or park, you should never touch it.
What's the real thing?
Let's take a look at the article.
It is this square lump, none other than the rabies prevention drug.
To prevent the spread of rabies, a zoonotic infectious disease, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it will spray 32,000 wild animal bait prevention drugs to Bukhansan Mountain and Yangjae Stream by the 28th of next month.
It's a bait pill made from a mixture of chicken and fishmeal, and it contains a vaccine.
So, when the animal eats it, it has a preventive effect.
However, it is said that if we touch it, a human body odor may remain, which may make it difficult for wild animals to eat.
Also, it is known that people with weak skin can feel itchy when touching the preventive medicine, so it is better not to touch it even if you find it.
And you may be wondering if this bait pill is safe for pets to eat, but it is not harmful for dogs and cats to consume.
However, the city of Seoul explained that it is more effective to vaccinate pets with the rabies vaccine by injection.
