The cat was indoor-only, but may have been exposed to rabies by a bat on a balcony, the department said. Vector Control staff inspected the area for signs of roosting bats, but did not find any. Per public health protocol, the cat was humanely euthanized, and all exposed people received rabies prophylaxis. Local residents were also notified. The risk of rabies to the public is low, and no additional exposures or rabies cases have been identified. While cats are susceptible to rabies, they are rarely found to be infected in California. Rabies is detected more frequently in bats. Between 2019 and 2025, 27 bats tested positive for rabies in Alameda County, including in Berkeley in 2025 and in Fremont in 2026. Rabies is a viral disease spread through the saliva of an infected animal. It attacks the central nervous system, causing brain inflammation and death. There is no cure, and it is fatal once clinical symptoms appear. It is preventable if post-exposure prophylaxis is administered before symptoms begin. California law requires dogs to be vaccinated, but it is strongly recommended that all cats, ferrets, and in some cases, livestock be vaccinated as well. Valley Humane Society said that it is making sure that adoptable cats over three months old receive the rabies vaccine. Cats should receive booster shots every three years thereafter. Most cases of rabies in domestic animals occur after contact with infected wildlife, particularly bats. Anyone who sees a cat or wild animal behaving strangely – appearing disoriented, unusually aggressive, unable to walk normally, or drooling excessively – should avoid the animal and call their local animal control agency immediately.

AI helps Stanford scientists discover “natural Ozempic” without the usual side effects - ScienceDaily

Stanford Medicine researchers have identified a naturally occurring molecule that may suppress appetite and reduce body weight in a way that resembles semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic. In animal studies, the molecule also appeared to avoid several problems associated with the drug, including nausea, constipation and substantial muscle loss.

All the Questions—and Explosive Answers—You Could Have About Diarrhea Summer - The Ringer

Right now, if you type the phrase “will this salad” into the Google search bar, Google will attempt to autofill the rest of the vegetal prompt with: “make you poop.” It’s not a bad idea for a children's book title, and it’s a reasonable enough question for an adult to ask a computer if they’re trying to get a handle on this whole thing with “fiber,” 2026’s hottest macronutrient. But a few lines down that search bar, Google's prompts begin to tell a fuller story, a story about mounting fear and anxiety that goes far beyond the standard salad-to-pooping pipeline.
