A Bat with Rabies
« on: September 20, 2011, 10:38:00 PM »
A couple of customers in JoAnn's Fabrics in Olympia Found a real dead bat on a shelf in the Halloween section.  It would be funny, but the bat tested positive for rabies and the people had to get rabies shots. 

Any body fluids can be contagious with rabies.  If bat had it anything can get it.

So be careful out there.

Rabies is pretty rare here but once you show symptoms you're already dead, you just don't know it. If you get bit by any mammal get the shots. If a bat flies within 5 ft of you get the shot. You may not even feel it if a bat bites you. Rabies is bad juju.
