The department said an adult was bitten by the bat and is receiving the rabies vaccine to prevent illness. According to the Health Department, symptoms of rabies can include fever, agitation, abnormal behavior, seizures, and paralysis. There is no treatment for rabies once symptoms begin and it is fatal. Bats should be tested for rabies if they come into contact with humans or pets, or if one is found in the home. Batâs teeth are very small and sharp; a bite wound may not be visible. If a bat is found, immediately leave the area and take your pets away from the bat. Contact the United States Department of Agriculture (719) 355-9629 for collection and notify the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment at 719-583-4307 to report the incident.
