This variant started in Pennsylvania, then spread into Frederick County, and now it’s affecting bears in the New River Valley, explained Department of Wildlife Resources veterinarian John Tracey. “From Pennsylvania the disease h

Read excerpt
Over 1,000 Virginians died in the past year from opioid overdoses, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Overdose deaths have been decreasing in recent years as harm reduction programs have equipped family and community members to administer life-saving naloxone, a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose.
