There's a reason why experts from more than 8 states just rushed to the Midwest to investigate a little kitten. Reports say a rare form of rabies was just located in this small animal and it's something that every Missouri and Illinois pet owner should be aware of.
It might be a good idea to take this warning from the state of Illinois seriously especially if you see bats in the daytime. The Land of Lincoln is warning that bats have been discovered in many Illinois counties to have rabies.
No one wants to find a bat in their home. One Illinois man did and he's now dead from rabies. His death now serves as a warning about what (and not) to do if you find a bat in your home.
