Rabies Warning in Placer County After Children Touch Infected Bat

COLFAX (CBS13) – Health officials in Placer County have a warning for visitors at Auburn State Recreation Area: watch out for rabid bats!
Earlier this month, a visitor found a bat at the Mineral Bar Campground in Colfax. The visitor took the bat to animal control the next day, and it tested positive for rabies. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) says the bat may have come in contact with several children.
