Alabama Bats infestation can be a scary experience, due to the numerous dangers and risk associated with them. While they will not necessarily transform into a frightening vampire, their presence can still lead to severe negative effects.

Poor Sleep

Once the droppings dry up, there is a possibility that the fungus will be airborne. The fungus can then be inhaled by human and can lead to Histoplasmosis which is a type of lung infection. Once the disease spread on the different organs, it can be lethal.

Rabies
Apart from the raccoons, the bats can also be a possible carrier of rabies. This disease can be transmitted through the bites and scratch of the infected creature. Aside from that, you can also contract this disease by touching the fur, blood, and excrement of the bats. Fortunately, this occurrence is relatively uncommon.
