Ohio Bat Rabies Surge and What to Do | Honolulu News
Description
Rabies confirmed in Ohio bats sparks urgent public health alert—don’t panic, but act fast if exposed. Two counties report positive cases, with health officials urging immediate medical care if you’ve had contact. Post-exposure treatment—wound care, immune globulin, and vaccines—is nearly 100% effective if started right away. If you find a bat, contain it safely and call a pro; if not, use thick gloves and a container. Ohio’s rabies cases are up this year—15 confirmed (all bats) by early July, up from 7 in May and 19 last year. Thousands of potential exposures occur yearly, so awareness and quick action are vital.
