Rabies Alert After Bat Encounter | Toronto News
Description
A tragic case of a boy who died from rabies after a bat brushed against his face is sparking urgent warnings from doctors: any bat contact, no matter how minor, demands immediate medical attention. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but it’s 100% preventable if treatment begins right after exposure. Bats’ tiny teeth mean bites often go unnoticed—and even saliva contact can transmit the virus. Don’t wait for symptoms—seek care immediately. This case is a sobering reminder that prevention is possible, but only if you act fast.
