Dead Bat Tests Positive for Rabies | Savannah News

A dead bat found near Highway 80 in Chatham County, Georgia, tested positive for rabies — a chilling reminder to stay away from wild animals. Discovered on a porch in July, the bat thankfully didn’t come into contact with anyone, but the incident underscores the need to vaccinate pets, secure trash, and keep pet food indoors. Never handle or feed wild animals — and if you or your pet encounter a potentially rabid animal, seek medical help immediately and contact animal control. Stay safe out there.
