Bats in Your Home? Health Alert | Tucson News

Bats are crashing through Pima County’s homes—and health officials are sounding the alarm. With July alone hitting record exposure numbers, even a bat in your pool or bedroom could mean rabies risk. Don’t touch it. Don’t panic—but do call Pima Animal Care Center or your vet if you find one. Prophylactic vaccines are being administered even without bites, because you might not know if you were exposed while sleeping. Watch for daytime flyers or sick bats on the ground—they’re red flags. Respect these creatures from afar; they’re protected, fascinating, and potentially dangerous up close. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
