Going to Beijing for the Olympics? Be on the alert for….

Filed under: China, Olympics, Pets — anne @ 9:32 am

What should you worry about if you’re headed to China this month? Other than a numb behind from sitting on a plane for 14-hours?

Well, according to a report from Emory University and the CDC, here’s some handy do’s and don’ts:

DON’T worry about exotic diseases.

DO worry about respiratory illnesses (all that smog), and…

DO worry about dog bites. In 2006, nearly 3,300 died from rabies in China.

So don’t pet stray doggies. Limit yourself to ordering them at your neighborhood bistro. Oh, wait — never mind — during the Olympics, Sparky is off the menu.

Good boy!
