These little conversations help kids feel prepared, supported and connected.

🦇 BAT IN YOUR HOME? KNOW WHAT TO DO.

We’ve had some recent bat exposures in our area, so here’s a quick reminder about rabies prevention:

👉 Never touch a bat with your bare hands. Keep children and pets away.

👉 If you were bitten, scratched, or had direct contact with a bat, wash the area immediately with soap and water and contact your healthcare provider or local ER.

👉 If you wake up to find a bat in the room, or a bat was in a room with a young child or someone unable to reliably report contact, contact ND HHS for guidance.

👉 Do not release a bat that may need to be tested. Contact the North Dakota Game & Fish Department at 701-328-6300 for guidance on dead bats and collection/testing.

📞 Human exposure questions: ND HHS Disease Control Unit
701-328-2378 | 800-472-2180

🐾 If your pet had contact with a bat: Contact your veterinarian right away.

⚠️ Bat bites can be tiny and difficult to see. When in doubt, call and ask!
