Bats & Rabies

What is rabies and how do people get it?Rabies is an infectious viral disease that affects the nervous system of humans and other mammals. People get rabies from the bite of an animal with rabies. Any wild mammal, like a raccoon, skunk, fox, coyote, or bat, can have rabies and transmit it to people. It is also possible, but quite rare, that people may get rabies if infectious material from a rabid animal, such as saliva, gets directly into their eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound.

South Salt Lake & Holladay City Animal Services have responded to several calls for service in regards to bats. Some incidents have not been referred to Animal Services until the bat has been cap tured and handled for sometime. Please review this information with your family and never handle any animal your not familiar with.
