Wild Bats Transmit Disease<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
There are various infectious diseases that bats can contract\nor carry. These diseases are all\nhazardous to human and pet immune systems. \nBats are known to be carriers of the Rabies virus, Histoplasmosis,\nLeptospirosis, and even Salmonella. All\nof these infections can be transferred, transmitted, and passed along to humans\nand pets; and they are all potentially fatal if left untreated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u27a5 Rabies <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Rabies is a very well-known disease to the public. This infection is often associated with rabid\ndogs, raccoons, and rats; however, the truth is, bats are common carriers of\nthe Rabies virus as well. A simple bat\nbite is all it takes to transfer saliva and bacteria into a person\u2019s blood\nstream. Some bats are so tiny, a person\nor pet cannot even tell they were bitten. \nOnce signs of illness begin to show, it is imperative to seek medical\nattention immediately if a person has been bitten or had contact with a wild\nbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rabies affects the brain and nervous system, eventually\ncausing death if untreated. Humans are\nrequired to get a series of painful shots to eliminate the threat of spreading\nthe virus. Pets, on the other hand, are\ndifficult to save once they become infected. \nThe virus is often times unpredictable because its incubation stages can\ndiffer drastically. It can incubate in\nhumans weeks and months before showing signs of contagion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u27a5 Histoplasmosis <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Histoplasmosis is a disease that affects the upper respiratory system. It is caused by the fungus Histoplasma Capsulatum<\/em>, which occurs naturally in warm, moist climates. It is widely spread by bat guano and other animal droppings. To become infected, the spores simply have to be inhaled. Common victims of this illness are homeowners with bat infestation problems, or miners and people that work underground or in cavernous environments. Treatment is available and death is entirely avoidable; however, if left untreated, it can be quite devastating to whoever becomes infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leptospirosis is another common and potentially fatal\ninfection carried and passed on by wild bats. \nIT is a bacterial disease that is spread through bodily fluids, usually\nurine. It is contracted the same way as\nHistoplasmosis, and usually by people in similar vocations; such as miners,\nmeat workers, farmers, and veterinarians. \nIt is also fatal if left untreated, but it is easily treatable if caught\nin the early stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call 317-535-4605<\/strong> to get rid of bats<\/a> safely and humanely Indianapolis, Indiana.
