Rabies Virus<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The most feared disease that bats are known to be common\ncarriers of is the Rabies virus. This virus is scary because there is no cure\nonce infected, whether animal or human. For this reason, pet vaccinations are\nvital, and even mandatory by law in some states. Furthermore, vaccines are\nstrongly encouraged for people who are regularly in situations where bat exposure\nmay occur, such as miners, spelunkers, animal handlers, farmers, and exotic\nvets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Histoplasmosis<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Although Histoplasmosis is not a disease, it is still\ndetrimental to people and pets. It is a fungus that is bred by large\naccumulations of bat guano, which develop airborne spores that can be inhaled\nand cause serious eye, lung, and other respiratory infections.  If you suspect that your home or property has\na bat infestation, you may have a Histoplasmosis problem as well.  Have the entire vicinity inspected by a\nprofessional who retains proper equipment and training to accurately identify\nbat threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parasites<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, there are some bat diseases that are not necessarily\nharmful, but nonetheless, severely disadvantageous. Parasites like lice, fleas,\nticks, and mites can be carried and spread to people and pets, as well as,\nupholstery, clothing, outdoor fabrics, and more. Even though they are not fatal\nand will not likely cause serious illness, they are not pleasant to have\naround. Furthermore, the process of eliminating such parasites is tedious and\ncumbersome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
