### EMERGENCY TREATMENT: NUEVO LAREDO AND LAREDO

Physicians and hospitals in Nuevo Laredo, and Laredo, Texas, may both be
used in emergencies, although those in Laredo, are recommended over
those on the Mexican side due to the ease in communication with American
medical personnel. Also, some doctors and the hospitals in Laredo,
Texas, are better equipped. Hospitals on both sides have a common
problem of a general lack of resident physicians.

RABIES - GUIDE FOR EMERGENCY TREATMENT

In the event that a person is bitten by a dog, or any animal susceptible
to rabies, the procedures set forth below should be followed. (Animals
susceptible to rabies include cats, foxes, squirrels, wolves, bats,
raccoons, and in fact almost any biting animal.)

1\. DO NOT KILL THE ANIMAL.

2\. Call your physician or pediatrician immediately. Wash the wound well
with soap and water.

3\. If the animal is available, notify the Centro Antirrabico
(diagnostic center) and if possible, take the animal to that office for
observation.

Address: The Centro Antirrabico de Nuevo Laredo is located in the back
side of the CENTRO DE REHABILITACION NO. 2 by the Nuevo Laredo,
Monterrey highway.

Public Health Office).

The Center is open from 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., and they have a guard
for emergencies 24 hours a day.

4\. If the animal is not located, vaccination should be started
immediately.

5\. If the animal is located, start vaccination upon the advice of your
physician and the Centro Antirrabico in conjunction with the Centros de
Salud. If the vaccine is not available in Nuevo Laredo, contact Mercy
Hospital in Laredo, Texas.

Rabies vaccine for humans is given at Centro de Salud (Mexican Public
