There have been many reports of bats with rabies in Dane County. A co-worker had to go through the series of painful rabies shots just because she was sleeping in a room where a bat was found later that night. The local health department said she needed the series “in case” she was bitten, as sleeping people do not always know when then have been bitten.
Because of this I would never try to “rescue” a bat. Just MHO.
