Foxes are a big vector of rabies too. Stay safe dude.

Rabies isn't much of a problem in the UK thankfully. But in general, yeah, Rabies is horrifying and it's good advice.

EDIT: For anyone anywhere where it's a risk: Be careful and make damn sure to seek advice if bitten, even if not obviously penetrating the skin and even if the animal is not obviously rabid (Reminder: Rabies is near 100% fatal with treatment if you don't get vaccinated soon enough after exposure). Do not fuck with Rabies.
