This remarkable young lady died of a rabies virus just 18 days shy of her 16th birthday. She was not bitten by a rabid animal and how she contacted the virus remains a mystery. On March 4 2010, the KY State House unanimously voted to designate June 2010 as Shannon Noelle Reid Rabies Awareness Month in honor of the Fleming County teen. It's still a very deadly disease, and we need to make every effort to make sure that people know the dangers that are out there and report strange animals when they see them.
