Original: Ahead of International Bat Week, DPH urges education on bats and rabies safety
Ahead of International Bat Week, the Department of Public Health is calling on residents to learn about bats and rabies safety. Health officials want people to understand the risks bats can pose, avoid handling them, and know what to do after potential exposure, since rabies is nearly always fatal once symptoms appear but preventable with prompt treatment.
Why now: International Bat Week is approaching, prompting public health officials to raise awareness about rabies risks.
