What should I do if I was bitten by a bat?

Notify the Animal Control Officer immediately by calling the 24-hour dispatch center at 609-921-2100. Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and get medical advice immediately from your doctor or the emergency room. Whenever possible, the bat should be captured and sent to a lab for rabies testing.
