    Well 1% of rabies prevalence is a lot. Numbers around 0.2 or 0.1% would be more reassuring.

    Online one of the lowest estimates that i found was 1.2% rabies prevalence

      I think this is battling the stereotype that most bats carry rabies. It goes without saying that you should always go to the doctor and get rabies shots if a wild animal bites you. And avoid approaching wild animals in the first place.
