My husband stayed up working, and very early the next morning a bat flew into our bedroom, through a screen door left open by accident.
What happened over the next few days restored my faith in the systems in our country that keep us safe.
“Bat!” I told my husband, sleeping beside me.
“It’s one thing after another,” my husband said, clambering out of bed to grab something to catch it with.
Though bats are beneficial insectivores, they’re also our highest risk for contracting rabies, a fatal disease carried by about 6 percent of bats tested in the continental United States.
