## Resource

Two bats in Bismarck, North Dakota, tested positive for rabies — a rare occurrence in the county over the past five years. The outbreak was linked to dogs, not humans, but it’s a stark reminder that rabies is deadly and preventable. Late summer sees more bats around as they prepare for winter, increasing chances of encounters. If you spot a bat acting strangely — especially during daylight or on the ground — don’t touch it. Use gloves and a container to safely capture it and contact health officials. Keep pets vaccinated, seal gaps in your home, and wear protective gear when entering spaces where bats may hide. Simple steps can keep you and your family safe from this serious disease. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
