Lake County briefs

Be careful of bats:A bat found in a Third Lake home June 27 has tested positive for rabies, the sixth such bat in Lake County this year. The bat was discovered in a bedroom where a couple was sleeping. Because contact can't be ruled out, the couple will receive post-exposure vaccinations. To date this year rabid bats have been found in Beach Park (May 7), Grayslake (May 12), Fox Lake (May 26), Waukegan (June 1), Lake Villa (June 24), and Third Lake (June 27). In 2009, nine bats tested positive for rabies. Anyone who has direct contact with a bat or notices a bat acting in an unusual manner, such as flying in daylight or lying on the ground or in your home, should call (847) 949-9925.
