The bat tested positive for rabies, and all three victims are now receiving post-exposure treatment, which is nearly 100% effective if administered promptly. While rabies in bats is rare (less than 1%), it’s deadly if untreated, and unvaccinated pets are at risk too. This marks the second rabid bat found in Washington this year. Experts advise sealing entry points, keeping pets vaccinated, and wearing protective gear when handling attic spaces—because while bats help control insect populations, they shouldn’t be handled.
