Nebraskans are being reminded to avoid bats.
Nebraska Health and Human Services Epidemiologist Dr. Tom Safranek says bats become very active this time of year, increasing the possibility of being exposed to rabies. . .

Safranek says a number of bats have tested positive for rabies. . .

Safranek suggests making sure you have screens covering windows…and seek immediate medical attention if you’ve been in direct contact with or bitten by a bat. Rabies is generally fatal without preventive treatment.
