Hundreds May Have Been Exposed to Rabies at Bat-Infested Cabins in Grand Teton National Park
Health officials are contacting up to 500 guests from 38 states and seven countries after bats infested cabins, recommending preventive rabies treatment for those with possible exposure.
- Health officials are alerting hundreds of people in dozens of states and several countries that they may have been exposed to rabies at bat-infested cabins in Grand Teton National Park.
- Following that discovery, the park closed the cabins after the bat problem was found July 27, with none of the eight linked cabins’ bats testing positive as of Friday.
- Facing uncertain test results, officials recommended prophylactic shots for deep sleepers and young children, as three or four dead bats tested negative and one was untestable.
- Through state agencies and the CDC, they are reaching 38 states and seven countries to notify up to 500 people based on roughly 250 reservations.
- The Grand Teton Lodge Company has ensured safety for all visits this year through due diligence, with devices fitted to the building preventing bats from reentering, and there are no plans to exterminate the bats.
