Because of the possibility of contracting rabies, bats should not be handled without gloves or other protection. Children should be taught not to touch dead bats or to attempt to capture live animals. When dead bats are found, they should be buried or burned If a person is bitten or scratched by a bat, they should wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and immediately contact a physician and the local health department.

Mendenhall, USU Extension food science specialist, no preservation method can completely stop the chemical changes that take place in food over time. Even putting food in containers cannot halt the enzyme changes in stored foods. So, beware of salesmen who try to sell you a prepackaged food storage plan that never needs to be replaced.
