Western Indiana County Reports Rabid Bats

ROCKVILLE, Ind. (AP): A western Indiana county reports three people have had to undergo a series of shots after being bitten by bats that were rabid, or believed to be rabid, and four others have had to be treated for possible exposure.
 
The Tribune-Star reports the cases have been reported in Parke County, about 25 miles northeast of Terre Haute. Parke County public health nurse Kevin Elizabeth Rowe says her 16-year-old son was bitten by a rabid bat last week at a friend's house in Rockville.
