Niagara County Confirms 1 Rabid Bat in Ellicottville Hotel, Sending Family for Shots

Lab testing this week confirmed a bat that entered an Ellicottville hotel room last month was rabid, Niagara County health officials said.
A Genesee County woman and her children encountered bats in their room during the night, prompting rabies shots after the exposure was verified.
The case centers on a family visit to Ellicottville and highlights the public-health risk from direct or possible contact with bats, which can trigger post-exposure treatment.
