A woman with 55,000+ followers on social media was advised by her fans to visit the hospital after discovering a dead bat in her toilet. The incident occurred when Alison Doyle posted a video of herself finding the animal on TikTok. Initially thinking she didn’t need medical attention, Alison ultimately decided to take precautions and get vaccinated against rabies. According to health experts, the risk of catching rabies from bats is “very small”.
