BATS AND RABIES
Bats are the animals that most commonly carry rabies in
our county. Most bats do not have rabies, and try to
avoid contact with people and pets. Bats are good for
the environment because they eat insects and pollinate
plants. Bats are also protected by law.
Bats seen flying in daylight, or found
on the ground, are more likely to have rabies. Never
touch a bat or other wild animal. If you pick up a bat
with your bare hands, you may be bitten and exposed to
rabies.
