How can I distinguish rumors and myths from real information?
Rumors and false stories are common. Please do not pass along verbal, written or email stories or rumors unless you have confirmed them. If you hear information you are not sure about please contact your local law enforcement or local public health office (check the blue pages of your phone directory) or see www.dhfs.state.wi.us/dph_ops/lhdl.htm .Also, see the CDC webpage for information about hoaxes and rumors.
