There's a vaccine, but it's old and not recommended for the general population.[1]

There is also a cure if you catch it quick. It’s a pretty good cure - TFA says it has a survival rate of 90% with treatment.

  • Sounds like a great medicine to take, but a 10% death rate even when treated is pretty scary.

    • Absolutely - be sure to stay well away from wildlife and enjoy at a distance.
