3 rabid bats found in CdA area

News Three rabid bats have been found in the Coeur d’Alene area in recent weeks – an unusually high number so soon after the mammals have emerged from hibernation. “Generally we only see maybe three the whole year, sometimes not even that,” said Dave Hylsky, an epidemiologist with Panhandle Health District. The cluster of rabies cases has prompted health officials to remind people not to handle bats or any wild animals, and to make sure their pets’ rabies vaccinations are up to date.
