Bat Found at Fullerton College Tests Positive for Rabies
(Santa Ana) – A live, rabid bat was found on an outside step on the east side of the “1100 Building” at Fullerton College on January 29, 2015. Anyone who may have had physical contact with this bat or saw someone else having contact with the bat is asked to call Orange County Health Care Agency Epidemiology at (714) 834-8180 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or (714) 834-7792 after hours to determine the risk for rabies.
