Be aware if you find a bat indoors. A bat bite can be so small that you can’t tell it’s there. If you don’t know whether the bat touched you, then you are considered potentially exposed to rabies. If this happens, it’s important to catch the bat so it can be tested. If the bat does have rabies, you will need shots (vaccines) to prevent rabies infection. Learn how to safely catch a bat by visiting: https://hhs.iowa.gov/media/14634/download?inline

If you have questions about a bat exposure in Bremer County or getting a bat tested for rabies, give us a call at (319) 352-0082!

We all have a role to play in improving Iowa's water quality. Farmers and landowners in all 99 counties across the state can sign up now for the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s cover crop cost-share program. Cover crops help keep Iowa’s rich soil and nutrients in fields, and out of waterways. Iowa farmers planted nearly 4 million acres of cover crops last year. Let’s keep that number growing! Enroll at your local USDA Service Center. For more information, visit CleanWaterIowa.org.
