Travelers should stay away from market selling live poultry or refrain from approaching sickened birds, the ministry said. Last year, two men who had been bitten by dogs overseas died of rabies after returning home. The ministry said people should wash their wounds with soap if bitten by animals and asked that they be vaccinated at a local medical institution.:tiphat: http://www.japantoday.com/jp/news/404890
