Kansas City-area health departments are reporting an increase in bats testing positive for rabies, with KCTV describing the number of rabid-bat cases as a 10-year high. The reports follow at least one incident in which a Kansas City resident found a bat inside his home.
Local coverage has focused on what residents should do after possible exposure and whether pets are protected. Separately, Maryland recorded a spike in rabies cases during the summer, though experts there have not identified a reason for the increase.
