Rabbit Fever Cases Numerous in Illinois Ten cases of tularemia, or "rabbit fever" have been reported in Illinois during the past few days, Aacgordir»lg to announcements released by the stute department of public health, All the reported cases except two have occurred in the central and southern sections of the state where rabbit hunting is in full swing. Three cases were from Macoupin and two from Effingham counties. "This is the highest prevalence of tularemia that has ever been observed in Illinois," the department said. "Inâ€" fected rabbits are the most common source. The large number of cases recently reported is therefore taken as an indication â€" that rabbits are heavily infected this year." Tularemia is rarely fatal but is a long drawnâ€"outâ€"disease. Infection is through scratches, cuts, or abrasions of the skin. The greatest danger is at the time of skinning and dressing freshly dressed rabbits. Coking makes rabbits safe for food whether they are infected or not, the department said. J. H.
