A British woman died a painful death from rabies after being lightly scratched by a stray puppy while on holiday in Morocco. The incident has raised urgent questions about vaccine awareness and the risk posed by even minor contact with animals in high-risk regions.
Yvonne Ford, 59, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was visiting Morocco in February when she came into brief contact with a puppy. According to her family, the scratch seemed so minor at the time that she thought nothing of it. However, within months, the consequences turned fatal.
