PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT

BAT TESTS POSITIVE FOR RABIES IN EAST LYME

A BAT FOUND ON BOSTON POST ROAD IN THE TOWN OF EAST LYME WAS TESTED AND FOUND TO BE POSITIVE FOR RABIES ON JULY 10, 2025. THE PUBLIC SHOULD REFRAIN FROM FEEDING OR APPROACHING ANY WILD OR STRAY ANIMALS.

Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that can infect all warm-blooded animals, including people. It is spread mostly by wild animals, but stray cats and dogs may also become infected and spread the virus. The rabies virus lives in the saliva and brain tissue of infected animals. Rabies can be spread by scratches from infected animals or when infected saliva comes into contact with open wounds, breaks in the skin or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.)

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ledge Light Health District at 860-448-4882 or the WATERFORD/EAST LYME ANIMAL CONTROL at 860-442-9451.

This week is supposed to be a hot one! 🥵 Please remember limit time outside, give plenty of fresh water, and take short walks either very early in the day or later on when the temps aren’t so high. Also, asphalt is not an ideal place to walk, instead, stick to grass areas.
Stay cool everyone!
