Rabies Spike in Cuyahoga County | Cleveland News

Bats in Cuyahoga County are testing positive for rabies at alarming rates — five in two months, far exceeding the usual annual total. Health officials are sounding the alarm: if you spot a bat indoors or suspect exposure — even if it’s just a bat in your room or near a child — don’t panic, but act fast. Capture it safely using a container and slide a board underneath to seal it, then contact the Board of Health immediately. Avoid touching bats at all costs. If no exposure occurred, follow their safe release protocol. Call 216-201-2000 for help — your safety depends on it.
