Doctora de Virginia atrapa murciélago que intentó entrar en su boca y advierte sobre precauciones contra la rabia

Según WCVB, la gastroenteróloga de Richmond, la Dra. Krista Edelman, atrapó un murciélago que intentó arrastrarse a su boca y advirtió que cualquier persona que encuentre un murciélago dentro de una vivienda debe buscar una evaluación inmediata del riesgo de rabia. WRAL informó previamente que Edelman compartió un video del incidente en Instagram, lo que llevó a las autoridades de salud de Virginia a subrayar la necesidad de pruebas y vacunación rápidas cuando se detectan murciélagos en interiores.

El New York Post señaló que el murciélago la mordió, dio negativo en la prueba de rabia y ella recibió profilaxis post-exposición. Click2Houston añadió que acudió a urgencias y comenzó una serie de vacunas, instando a los residentes de casas antiguas a revisar la presencia de murciélagos. USA Today indicó que buscó consejo médico y exhortó al público a tomar en serio posibles exposiciones a murciélagos.
