Episode Details

A bat in Olympic National Park tested positive for rabies after getting tangled in a woman’s hair near Staircase Bridge — and it wasn’t just her in danger. The bat was actively swooping at others, so anyone who may have had contact — even without a bite or scratch — should see a doctor immediately. Rabies is deadly but preventable with prompt treatment, and while most bats are harmless, experts urge visitors to admire wildlife from afar. Stay safe: don’t touch bats, dead or alive, and report any sightings to park staff.
