Recent health scares in the Metro have had officials on edge, but initial reports now indicate the two scares—one for tuberculosis, the other for rabies—have been backing off, although nothing is final just yet.

First those TB concerns which started here at a YMCA drop-in day care center located inside Omaha’s new Westview High School.

Symptoms include a cough that lasts for weeks, coughing up blood, chest pain, fatigue, weight loss, no appetite, chills, fever, and night sweats.

According to officials one confirmed case of “active tuberculosis” included more than “500 possible exposures” occurring between late spring and October.

So far at least 350 children and adults have been tested and there has not been one additional case, but more follow tests will be held in the weeks ahead just to be certain.

Possible “close contact” finds parents and others notified by the health department.

Dr. Lindsay Huse, Douglas County Health Department: “Rabies transmission requires direct physical contact with the saliva of an infected animal.”

In October a stray cat in Omaha was confirmed with rabies from a raccoon, leading officials to target raccoons in the inner city, from 72 street on the west to the Missouri River on the east, and “F” street on the south, north to Fort Street.

Traps grabbed some raccoons, most were reportedly victims of roadkill.

Now following 275 tests, no additional cases of rabies have popped up, more tests are still in the offing but again so far no more rabies.
