Rabies Alert in Butler County

Another rabid bat confirmed in Butler County, Ohio—this one in West Chester Township, the second in just three weeks. Health officials warn bats carry rabies more often than other local animals, and while they’re vital to the ecosystem, you should never touch them. If you find a bat inside your home, don’t handle it—call the Butler County Health District at 513-863-1770. Keep pets vaccinated too, since even domestic animals can contract rabies. Last human case in the region was last December; rabies is almost always preventable if treated early, but nearly always fatal if ignored. Stay informed and stay safe.
