LA County Warns of Rabies Exposure After Adults and Children Touch Bat at Malibu Cafe
Rabies is not treatable, health officials warned, though it is preventable.
The department also warned that bats might not show any signs of having rabies, and in LA County rabies is most commonly found in bats. “At this time, we do not have any indication that this bat infected anyone with rabies. However, if untreated, rabies is nearly always fatal, so we want people to err on the side of caution,” Dr. Muntu Davis said. “Parents need to ask their children if they noticed or touched any bats while at the facility. If anyone suspects they or their child came into contact with any bat, they should immediately be evaluated for possible post-exposure rabies treatment.
