A "deadly" outbreak in Bali has prompted the Canadian government to issue an advisory for those travelling in the region. If you're heading anywhere in Bali, Indonesia, it's important to note that on Aug. 11, the Government of Canada shared an updated health advisory for the popular beach destination due to an outbreak of rabies. Travellers should know that rabies can be deadly if people don't receive treatment before symptoms start. "Rabies treatment may be hard to find in Indonesia," warns the statement. The area that was bitten, scratched or licked by an infected animal may even be painful, or you may experience tingling, numbness or itching.
