Potential Rabies Exposure at Grand Teton National Park Due to Bat Colony

Health officials are alerting hundreds of visitors who stayed in bat-infested cabins at Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, about potential rabies exposure after dead bats were found, though tests so far have been negative. The cabins have been closed since July, and authorities are recommending prophylactic treatment for those who may have been exposed, especially children and deep sleepers. No plans are in place to exterminate the bats, which are common in the area.
