One of the biggest wive's tails going is that many bats carry rabies.The fact is that very few if any bats carries rabies.Why?They fly.When is the last time you saw a rabid animal jump up snag a bat,bite it and then the bat survives and flies away.The only bat of the several hundred species that has contact with other mammals is the vampire and it doesn't exist in the northern hemisphere.
Bats are probably the most beneficial of all mammals on the planet.Try finding a mosquito in southern TX when the freetails are there,which is all Summer long.
