🦇⚠While most bats are healthy, some can carry rabies, a serious disease that can be spread through bites or scratches. Never touch or pick up a bat, even if it appears sick, injured, or dead. If you have been bitten, scratched, or had direct contact with a bat, wash the area with soap and water immediately and contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.

🦇⚠Aunque la mayoría de los murciélagos están sanos, algunos pueden portar rabia, una enfermedad grave que puede transmitirse por mordeduras o arañazos. Nunca toque ni levante un murciélago, aunque parezca enfermo, herido o mu**to. Si un murciélago lo muerde, lo araña o tiene contacto directo con él, lave inmediatamente la zona con agua y jabón y comuníquese con su proveedor de atención médica lo antes posible. La atención médica oportuna puede prevenir la rabia.
