Misinformation above.....The following from the CDC website:
>http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/rabies/Bats_&_Rabies/bats&.htm
"People cannot get rabies just from seeing a bat in an attic, in a cave, or
at a distance. In addition, people cannot get rabies from having contact
with bat guano (feces), blood, or urine, or from touching a bat on its fur
(even though bats should never be handled!)."
'Nuff said.
