Rabies Alert: Bat Case Confirmed in Hilton Head | Charleston News

Rabies alert in South Carolina: A bat in Hilton Head tested positive, marking the second confirmed case this year in Beaufort County — and officials warn at least one person may have been exposed. Bites from bats are tiny and often go unnoticed, so never handle wild animals bare-handed. If you or your pets had contact with this bat or any suspicious animal, call the Department of Public Health immediately. This isn’t isolated — skunks and more bats across counties have tested positive, bringing the state’s total rabies cases to 78 this year.
