rabid bat alert!
Since May, bats infected with rabies have been detected in six communities. Health officials issued notices to residents in those communities, advising them how to take precautions against rabies.
Rabies fact sheets also have been issued at county libraries and community health fairs.
Residents who come in contact with bats should call county Animal Control, which handles such reports 24 hours a day. The agency will attempt to capture the bat and get it tested....
From May 13 to June 11, seven rabid bats were found in Annapolis, Crofton, Glen Burnie, Millersville, Pasadena and Severna Park. Health officials said they are concerned because their active season isn't over yet and these levels already are exceeding previous years.
