The Cook County Department of Animal and Rabies Control has released an interactive map of the locations of rabies-positive bats.
The county’s interactive map shows that rabies-positive bats were at their peak in 2018, with 27 bats testing positive. Cook County saw the least number of rabid bats in 2020, with just six testing positive.
Prompt intervention is key, Rosenthal said, recommending people seek medical attention immediately after exposure or a bite.. A Lake County resident in his 80s found a bite on his neck, but declined treatment and subsequently died. “Bats are most active during the warmer weather and will seek shelter during the colder weather,” Rosenthal said. “That is why it is important to ‘bat proof’ or secure chimney entrances of homes and attic areas.”People are typically exposed to the rabies virus from a bite by an infected animal. Despite what horror movies or television shows might depict, bats have very small teeth, so marks from their bites may be more difficult to spot.
