First Rabies Case in Idaho's South Central | Boise News

Idaho’s South Central Public Health District confirms its first rabies case of the year — a bat in Blaine County. Health officials warn: rabies is deadly if untreated, so avoid bats entirely and ensure pets are vaccinated. Even tiny bat bites can go unnoticed, making immediate medical attention critical after any possible exposure. While bats are vital to ecosystems, they’re Idaho’s primary natural carriers of rabies — so keep your distance and never bring live bats to health offices.
