🦇 Found a bat in your home?

Rabies is rare, but it is almost always fatal once symptoms begin. In Wisconsin, bats are one of the animals most commonly associated with rabies.

Contact your healthcare provider and the Chippewa County Department of Public Health if:
✔️ You were bitten or scratched by a bat
✔️ You had direct contact with a bat
✔️ You wake up and find a bat in your room
✔️ A bat is found in a room with a sleeping person, young child, or someone who may not be able to report a bite or scratch

If the bat is dead, do not throw it away. Rabies testing may be needed to determine if treatment is necessary.

Wear gloves, avoid damaging the head or neck, place the bat in a sealed plastic bag inside a second sealed bag, keep it cold (do not freeze), and bring it to the Chippewa County Department of Public Health for testing.

What if we stopped seeing people for their past, and started seeing their potential?

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, Chippewa County is expanding the Think Outside the Stigma campaign with new billboards in Elk Mound, Bloomer, and Cornell.

The billboard was created by a community member with lived experience who is using their story to share a message of hope and recovery. ❤️

When community comes together, people have the opportunity to find hope, purpose, and a path forward.

Think outside the stigma.
See the person.

Recovery is possible. 💜
