Several rabid bat reports in Idaho are prompting public health officials to warn people throughout the state to take precautions around bats and make sure that their dogs, cats, and horses are adequately vaccinated against rabies. Two rabid bats were recently discovered from Ada County, as well as two rabid bats from Kootenai County. Every year rabid bats are reported from across Idaho, last year 12 rabid bats were reported from sites across the state.
