Bats and Rabies?
Bats are known to be carriers of rabies, a viral disease that affects the central nervous system and, if left untreated, can lead to death in humans and other mammals. The transmission of rabies from bats to humans is relatively rare but can occur through bites or scratches from an infected bat, or less commonly, when saliva from an infected bat comes into contact with open wounds or mucous membranes, such as the eyes, nose, or mouth. Since bat bites can be small and not always noticeable, any direct contact with a bat should be taken seriously, and medical advice should be sought immediately. It’s important to note that not all bats carry rabies; however, because bats are a significant reservoir for the virus in nature, any bat that is active during the day, found in a place where bats are not usually seen (like in your home or on the lawn), or is unable to fly, is far more likely to be rabid than bats in the wild.
The concern with bats and rabies is not just about direct transmission to humans. Bats can also transmit the rabies virus to domestic pets and livestock. If pets or livestock are bitten or scratched by a rabid bat, they can become infected and may pose a risk to humans. This underscores the importance of keeping pets vaccinated against rabies and avoiding wildlife contacts. Public health officials stress the importance of never handling bats, alive or dead, without professional training and protective equipment. In the event of a bat exposure, it’s crucial to capture the bat for rabies testing if possible, and seek immediate medical attention to evaluate the need for a rabies post-exposure prophylaxis, a series of vaccines that can prevent the disease from developing if administered promptly after exposure.
