Each and every living Durham animal is helpful or hazard in one way or the other. So far as our eco system is concerned,
numbers of small living organisms play an important role in its maintenance. Same is the case with the bats. They
are helpful to our eco system as they play important role in its maintenance. However, the North Carolina bats may be highly dangerous
if they bit any of the useful animals. If you are bitten by bat, you are at high risk of life as the bats bitten have to
undergo lots of problems.
Let us have a general look at the diseases caused by biting of a North Carolina bat. Bats may cause several fatal diseases to you. One of
the well known diseases caused by biting of a bat is rabies. Bat likes other animals like dogs, raccoons and foxes transmit
the disease to which they bite. Rabies is caused by mixing of saliva of any above mentioned animal with the saliva of human.
Or if you have a wound, the saliva of the animal may base rabies from there. Rabies disease is almost fatal always. The other
fatal disease caused by biting of bat is Histoplasmosis. The disease affects the lungs greatly. In case of untreated, the
disease may result in death as failure of different organs. Several bats are known for hemorrhagic fever. The fevers lead
to failure of different organs and results in death. Among them, Marburg hemorrhagic fever is highly dangerous and 90% of
patients faced death in Africa. Ebola hemorrhagic fever is known as cousin of Marburg fever which is also result of biting
of bat. The virus Hendra and Nipah are also cause problem which are transferred by biting of a Durham bat. Both the viruses are
responsible for neurological and respiratory disorder in humans. Lyssa viruses are also known viruses caused by bats. The
viruses cause rabies disease which is sometimes untreatable.
The above mentioned diseases are highly dangerous for health. Thus special care is to be taken in preventing from bites of Durham bats.
Bats have tiny teeth in their mouth. It is hard to find the marks of teeth where they bite. In case a person is unable to tell that
whether he is bitten by a bat or not you can guess from the following clues:
