In Puerto Rico, bats are known to sweep down and get entangled in your hair, so if you travel to Puerto Rico and you have long hair, wear a hat/cap. Condolences to the family, and please stay away from bats as they carry many viruses.
That’s tragic! The art teacher’s death from rabies is a rare but devastating reminder of the importance of taking precautions when handling wild animals, even if they seem harmless.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. The incubation period, which is the time between exposure to the virus and the onset of symptoms, can range from several days to several months or even years.
It’s essential for people, especially those in professions like teaching, healthcare, or animal handling, to be aware of the risks associated with rabies and take necessary precautions, such as:
– Avoiding direct contact with wild animals, especially bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes
– Wearing protective gear, like gloves and masks, when handling animals or their tissues
– Ensuring prompt medical attention if bitten or exposed to potentially infected animals
– Getting vaccinated against rabies if working with animals or traveling to high-risk areas
A vaccine given right away could have saved her…

So sad
Wow, so sad.
I wonder if she got the rabies vaccine series post exposure and it just didn’t work or if she just thought she was safe and didn’t seek out treatment.
