How did she catch it?

Was that serious case of rabies one in which someone actually developed rabies and lived?

She used a shoebox (of course). Yes, there was a person in Fond du Lac Wisconsin in 2004 that did survive. A very interesting article.

This case represents the sixth known occurrence of human recovery after rabies infection; however, the case is unique because the patient received no rabies prophylaxis either before or after illness onset.

Catching a bat with a shoe box must be like catching a fly with chopsticks.

In every home that I inspected where I located bats and guano, the Buyers walked.

Who wants to live with Bats?

Buyer: Oh, we found this beautiful home nestled in a great area of (city). It's in great shape and it comes equipped with bats in the attic. I can't wait to close this deal move in.

If you exchange the word "city" with "country" and there are lots of mosquitoes, that isn't a bad exchange as long as the bats have their own homes outside the dwelling....
