Bitten by a monkey

Paris has a problem. Not so much that an ape might have rabies...or even that it might have bitten someone. the problem is this story leads one to believe that is expected.
"An ape found near Paris might have died of rabies and anyone who has recently been bitten or scratched by a monkey in the region should seek medical care, health authorities said on Friday."

Maybe it is just me, but if I have to check the wires every day to see if the exotic animal that bit, scratched or clawed me is carrying a potentially fatal disease...I might be in the wrong area. How exactly does that work when the locals get home?
"Hey, hon, how was your day?"
"Pretty good. I avoided the claws of the tiger and the bite of the rattlesnake. Joe's python gave my foot a squeeze for a moment, but my shoe came loose before I got hurt."
"Okay, let me check the wires...no, no skin disase on local pythons. Another good day."
"How about you?"
"Oh, the usual. Got bit by a monkey."
"Well, we better get you to the hospital then! We would have been fine in Belgium or if you were bitten a week ago, but today that means trouble!"
