Why Bats are dangerous:
Bats are associated with a few diseases that affect people, such as rabies and histoplasmosis. Rabies is a dangerous, fatal disease, but only about 5 percent of bats submitted for testing are infected with the rabies virus. In recent years, there has been increased concern about the risk of rabies transmission following contact with bats.
If an injured or ill bat is found in or around a structure, it should be removed. Because most bats will try to bite when handled, DO NOT TRY TO PICK THEM UP! If a bat has bitten or scratched a person or pet or is found in your home, the bat should be captured without touching it with your hands and without crushing its head.
If the bat is dead, refrigerate it (DO NOT freeze) and then contact your local health department immediately. The incidence of histoplasmosis being transmitted from bat droppings to humans is not thought to be high. Nevertheless, fresh bat droppings (unlike fresh bird dropping) can contain the histoplasmosis fungus. Bat droppings do not need to come into contact with soil to be a source of the disease.
