Rabies Alert After Bat at San Diego Restaurant | San Diego News
Description
A bat at The Yellow Deli in Vista tested positive for rabies after landing on a family’s table — sparking a public health alert. Though no one reported direct contact, officials urge anyone who touched the bat to seek immediate medical advice. This is the 22nd rabid bat found in San Diego County this year — already surpassing last year’s total. Rabies is preventable if treated early, but fatal once symptoms appear. Experts remind everyone to avoid wild animals, especially bats — vital for ecosystems — and to wash any exposed skin immediately if contact occurs. A sobering reminder: the last human rabies case in California was fatal in 2024.
