Episode Details

A rabid bat buzzed into a woman’s hair at Olympic National Park near Staircase Bridge—prompting an urgent health alert. Park rangers confirm she’s at high risk for rabies and must see a doctor immediately. Others in the area who may have had contact—even without bites—should also seek medical advice, as bat saliva can transmit the deadly virus. Pets nearby should be checked by vets too. This isn’t the first time: just last month, a similar incident occurred near the University of Washington. Bottom line: stay away from bats, dead or alive—and if you think you’ve encountered one, don’t wait—get help right away.
