TREAT BAT BITES QUICKLY

With the warm moist weather, bats are more common in ore Morongo Basin Desert area. Reporter Taylor Thacker says, while they are welcome, they can bring some danger…

Bats may look cute and cuddly, but these animals can actually carry infectious diseases that can make humans and other animals sick. People often know when they’ve been bitten by a bat, but most types of bats have very small teeth which may leave marks that disappear quickly. If you are bitten by a bat, you need to wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately. If you think your pet has been bitten by a bat, contact a veterinarian or your health department for assistance immediately. Whenever you see a bat, leave it alone, don’t pet it or touch it. Remember to keep vaccinations current for cats, dogs, and other animals. By doing these things, you can keep yourself and pets safe from the diseases bats carry.
