Rabid Bat
Found Here
A rabid bat was found here last
week But before our readers get
too excited. Eddie Burgess of the
Animal Control District Health
Dept, of Rutherford-Polk-
McDowell, stated Friday that one
out of every 6 or 7 bats is rabid.
But back to our story. Last
Tuesday a bat flew in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Brewer
opposite the Tryon Seventh-day
Adventist Church, (former
Thatcher home, now owned by
John Washburn). Mrs. Brewer
(Stacy Ayers) stated that the bat
fell off a ledge and stayed in a
corner and didn't move. She said
that she had read somewhere
that if a bat didn’t move it was
probably sick and had rabies so
she called Dr. Terry Staggs in
Landrum. He told her that if it
was possible to kill the bat
without damging its head and
place it in a container and send it
to the Health Department

Howard, put on a pair of leather
