抖阴旅行射 rabies

Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system. It is spread through the bite of an infected animal or by getting saliva from an infected animal into your eyes, mouth, or an open wound.

When to seek treatment

Untreated rabies is fatal, so the timing of treatment is extremely critical. Since bats have small teeth, bites may be very difficult to see. Therefore, it鈥檚 always recommended that anyone who may have had contact with a bat (even if there鈥檚 no obvious bite or wound) get a series of vaccines as soon as possible to prevent rabies. It is especially important if you:

• Find a bat in your room upon waking.
• See a bat in the room with an unattended child or pet.
• See a bat in the room of a mentally impaired or intoxicated person.

If bitten by a bat, wash the wound immediately with soap and water, and see your doctor. If you see a bat that is acting aggressively or appears to be ill, cover it with a box, and notify animal control. Do not open a window and let it go; the bat can be tested for rabies.

Prevent future exposure

Bats play an important role in our environment so efforts should be made to prevent killing them unnecessarily or destroying their habitat. To prevent risk of rabies exposure:

• Use window and door screens. If you don鈥檛 have screens, avoid leaving doors and windows open to bats and other wildlife.
• Make sure there are no holes to allow bats into living quarters. Ideally, contact a private pest control company to bat-proof your home.
• Keep vaccinations current for all dogs, cats and other pets.
• Keep cats and other pets inside, and keep dogs under direct supervision.
