Bats and bugs and germs

So did you hear Flower Mound's recorded two cases of West Nile Fever (the less dangerous form of the West Nile family). As a result, the Town has sprayed at least one neighborhood (reportedly The Sanctuary) to control the mosquito population.

That was last week. Today, we got a news release from the Town that a bat was found on a playing field at Downing M.S. in Bridlewood a couple of days ago. Animal Services retrieved the bat and sent it off for testing. Today those tests came back positive. The bat didn't threaten anyone. It's the first case of rabies reported in Flower Mound in 2006.
