A BAT, FOUND NEAR A TRAIL IN LOS GATOS LAST MONTH, HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE RABIES VIRUS. THE BAT WAS DISCOVERED BY A HIKER ON THE LOS GATOS CREEK TRAIL. ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH THAT BAT, IS ENCOURAGED TO BE TESTED FOR THE RABIES VIRUS.
Those who are exposed to rabies, generally undergo a series of injections (of a rabies vaccine).
ALTHOUGH INSTANCES OF HUMAN’S GETTING THE DISEASE FROM A RABID ANIMAL ARE RARE, UN-TREATED RABIES IS ALMOST ALWAYS FATAL TO HUMANS.
