Medical health officials are asking residents to use caution when handling animals like bats. 

Recently, they have been seeing an uptick in the number of cases of rabies from animal bites and, in particular, bat bites. 

Medical health officer Dr. David Torr said it is important to immediately seek medical attention if you are bitten by an animal that could have rabies because symptoms don’t always show right away.

A very rare full moon will appear at the end of August. 

On Aug. 31, stargazers will see a blue supermoon which won’t be seen again for another nine years. 

Blue moons are generally the second full moon in a month. The old saying “once in a blue moon”, meaning something that rarely happens, is a misnomer. Blue moons aren’t overly rare as they take place about every two and a half years and aren’t necessarily blue in colour. The saying is more literal as in a blue-coloured moon. Blue-coloured moons are very rare.
