Yosemite’s Delayed Rabid Bat Alert | San Diego News

Yosemite just dropped a bombshell: a rabid bat was found near Curry Village in May, but the alert didn’t go out until over three months later—sparking outrage and urgent questions. Park officials say no human contact has been confirmed, but anyone who touched a bat around May 18th should see a doctor ASAP. Rabies is deadly if untreated—but preventable with early treatment. Critics are furious about the delay, especially since symptoms might not appear for weeks or months. The NPS admits they’re still figuring out why they waited so long, noting only 1% of bats carry rabies. Last case? July 2025. Other parks, like Wind Cave, acted within 42 days. This mess raises serious questions about how public health alerts get handled—and whether lives are truly being prioritized.
