Literally had a friend text me last night about seeing a bat in his fireplace (behind glass doors) and I was very concerned. Rabies is still a death sentence.

Last year, over in the valley, a teacher had handled a bat-trying to get it out of her room-got bit and died. From the reports, she didn't realize bats were carriers, and thus didn't get PEP.

Yup. It's been largely eradicated in domestic pets here, so it's not on most folks radar. What alarmed me with this was the rise in fox-related cases. Logical carriers as mammals, just not a species I associate with cases.
