Bat found inside Hendrix Student Center

A bat was found inside the Hendrix Student Center on the campus of Clemson University last week. Bats and other wild animals can carry rabies and transfer the disease to humans and pets through their bites. If you see a bat indoors, do not try to remove it yourself. If you are in a residence hall or student housing, contact University Housing and if you are in another campus building, contact the Clemson University Police Department. Students and faculty who have made contact with a bat should seek immediate treatment at the Redfern Health Center or visit a local emergency room.
