Archived: Bat found in St. Cloud tests Positive for Rabies

Two people from St. Cloud may have been exposed to a bat that tested positive for rabies. The city health department says the bat was captured in a St. Cloud home and tested earlier this week. The health department is asking the public to avoid contact with bats. Anyone who is bitten by a bat or comes in contact with infectious material such as saliva should call the health department so the bat can be collected for testing. For more information on rabies prevention and tips on bat-proofing your home, visit the Center for Disease Control web site.
