There are so many moonbats about these days, this is a real concern.

Oh no, what female will be the lucky bat on this thread?

I think it is passed time for an assault bat ban. I mean, if it saves the life of one child, wouldn’t it be worth it?

To sound that global alert, do they use a bat signal?

I was bitten by a bat and had to get rabies shots because I couldn't find the stupid thing and have it tested.
After being bitten the only symptom I had was a new curious attraction to goth chicks....

Right now in Kentucky there's a real problem with entire colonies of bats dying from the white nose fungus. It's a skin fungus that gets on the bats and (gasp) causes their noses to turn white; but the main problem is that it is a skin irritant, so the bats wake up during the winter, when they are supposed to be hibernating, and end up starving to death because there aren't any insects around for them to feed on.
Sadly, the main method for transferring this fungus from colony to colony is humans. Spelunkers were unintentionally walking through bat guano containing the fungus and then transferring it to other caves, where it would infect more bats.
Mammoth Cave has taken the precaution of putting out trays of a water-bleach mix that all guests have to walk through before and after they go on a tour.

The Avian flu never really developed into a human health hazard.
Maybe this bat flu will. It could.

Health organizations need some health scare to bring in the bucks from the politicians.
After all, that bat flu has already killed 3 people in Australia.

From the article, human to human spread is, at least, not that easy as the boy’s family didn’t come down with it. It isn’t indicated that the bats become more aggressive like with rabies. So, it’s not yet a likely pandemic.
